A method for controlling a primary industry plant of the processing industry, for example, in a steel plant or a rolling mill in order to, for instance, produce strips of steel or non-ferrous metals. The control method is designed in terms of computer engineering building on inputted advance knowledge, such that the method can automatically recognize the state of the installation and details of a manufacturing process taking place in the installation, for example in a continuous casting process for strips, and is able to give desired values and setpoints appropriate for the situation to achieve a reliable and successful production.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.] A method for controlling a primary industry plant, like one of a steel plant or a steel mill producing strips of one of steel and non-ferrous metals, the control method being implemented on one of a computer and a system of distributed computers, the control method comprising the steps of:adapting a model of operation of the primary industry plant;carrying out an optimization process using advance knowledge of the primary industry plant and knowledge about the status of the primary industry plant obtained from the model; andcalculating, in terms of the optimization process, at least one of a setpoint value and a desired value respecting one of safety, reliability, and throughput of the primary industry plant and quality of a processed product, for use in one of driving at least one actuator of the primary industry plant and feeding to at least one controller controlling the at least one actuator.
