In the 21^st century, sheet metal production is developing on the basis of improving existing technologies and introducing innovations in the production of thick and thin sheet of the III and IV metallurgical processing. And this is accompanied by an increase in requirements for quality indicators and an increase in production costs. This prompted the research and development of developments in the production process, as well as in the automated control system and automated control system systems, aimed at improving the quality of metal products, increasing the productivity of equipment and reducing energy consumption. Large funds were allocated to solve problems related to reducing the harm caused to the environment. The introduction of modern process automation systems and the growing possibilities of using digital technologies for the production and technological processes of metallurgical production significantly help to solve the problems posed to the distributors. Modern trends in the development of technology and production, construction of mills for the production of sheet metal are considered.
