We present various procedures capable of improving the quality of strips by means of increasing the efficiency of control over the cross- sectional profile of the strip. We consider the techniques designed both by domestic and foreign researchers. In this case, various methods are used to improve the quality of strips: design of the shape and structure of the rolls, position of rolls in the stand, application of the finite- element method (FEM) for the computer simulation, the use of various components of artificial intelligence: neural networks, broad range of optimization algorithms, digital twins, machine learning, etc.
