Abstract
Depreciations caused by anthropogenic interactions prompt for intelligent technological changes in the large-scale industrial processes. This necessitates a search for improvements in systems such as the steel industry. Steel manufacturing consumes enormous resources, for example the industrial water requirements include over 4 tonnes of water for 1 tonne of steel. Hot steel rolling technology, a substantial aspect in steelworking, does not take a sufficient advantage of information accumulated by product and tool manufacturers and users. A further rationalisation is an imperative bearing in mind socioeconomic importance and environmental impact of this high-volume industry. A key for further optimization of hot steel rolling must be sought in the roll pass design (RPD), a principal factor delimiting the process efficiency, product quality and the resource consumption in rolling mills
