The type of software available today and what to expect from each type is presented. Spreadsheet, static and dynamic models using first principles and expert system logic have been around a long time and are good for quick studies. The downside of these models are that they are time consuming and difficult to tune to process conditions. Neural network models have been available since the early eighties. Using an existing mills data base one can troubleshoot quality, environmental, economic and production issues. Various data from spreadsheet to on-line millwide information historians can be used. Neural networks are used to generate control models for non-first principle output values and to control first principle parameters.
