security solutions

In the daily operation and management of corporate factories, they often encounter various problems such as inability to improve production efficiency, constant failure of equipment and inadequate maintenance, and serious waste of resources, especially large manufacturing factories with complex processes like a mess! At this time, "Twins for" is what we usually call factory cognitive digital twin technology, and this thing comes in great use! Simply put, it is like making a 1:1 "clone" digital version for the factory, and this digital version is not just a decoration, it is also very smart, able to think, analyze, help us make decisions, and provide global procurement services for weak current intelligent products! , it can make factory management suddenly go from "blind touching an elephant" to "standing in the air to see the whole picture" that is clear and clear!

What exactly is a factory cognitive digital twin? For example, you have an old car that you particularly love to have problems. You built a digital model for it. This model not only shows the appearance of the car, but also knows in real time how fast the engine rotates, how much oil there is in the fuel tank, and even guesses when it may break based on previous data! This digital twin of the factory is to put everything from the production line machine to every small sensor, as well as production processes, material transportation, etc. in the factory, and then use artificial intelligence to install a "brain" that can think and analyze, so that it can keep pace with the real factory's every move, and even think of some future situations in advance.

To play with factory cognitive digital twins, we must grasp these key points:

1. The data is collected in a comprehensive and detailed manner like combing your hair without falling apart – the data collection layer

The factory needs to be filled with various sensors, temperature, humidity and pressure, speed and vibration of the machine, etc., as well as how much things are produced in the production line every day, how long each process takes, and even the production-related data cannot be missed even when the worker records the material inlet and shipment records! Just like when we have to take a blood test and take a urine test for a physical examination, the more the doctor can identify the symptoms, right?

2. Connect data like beads – model construction and data fusion

It’s not enough to just say that there are data. If there are piles of things, they are still not as good as heavenly books? We must clean these data from different formats and sources from all directions, store them in a database that is powerful enough to run, and then build a particularly realistic 3D model based on the factory's real appearance and operating rules! This model also needs to learn from the data about the factory's temperament and looks more and more like the real one.

3. Make the numbers see problems as if they have eyes – real-time monitoring and early warning

After the digital twin is built, it can move simultaneously with the real factory! On the computer screen, the temperature of a certain machine in the factory is abnormally increasing, and the pace of the assembly line can be seen clearly at a glance. What's more amazing is that if there is a small part of the machine that is about to fail and it will break, the system can jump out of the warning in advance and say "Be careful, it will break", so that it can be repaired before it is completely broken and paralyzed. There is no need to wait for a large shutdown, which will save a lot of money and trouble!

Factory owners have these common doubts about this technology, so I'll help you to see:

Question: "My factory is not large, isn't it a waste of money to use this?"

Answer: In fact, no matter how big the factory is, as long as the production process feels a little messy or encounters repetitive problems, digital twins can help find small tips for improvement! Small factories can start by modeling a key equipment that often has problems, and slowly expand the scope step by step. It is not impossible to hurry if you have to eat one bite of food.

Provide global procurement services for weak current intelligent products!

Question: "Does the factory stop production when building this digital twin? Will it delay orders? Then can I not afford to pay?"

Answer: Now that the technology is very mature, you can do it without stopping the work in the factory. Engineers will slowly build models as the factory looks. Data collection also sneaks into the equipment without disassembling this and that. It is equivalent to taking pictures and drawings for the factory instead of performing major surgery on the factory. So it will generally not affect the normal turn of the workshop.

Using the factory to understand the digital twin technology is like a "master" who doesn't sleep for 24 hours and is also very good at calculating and has super powers to see foresight in advance. At the beginning, you may have to spend some money to put on a stand-up, but in the long run, it cures the old problem of being slow to improve factory efficiency, reduces the situation of not producing on time and wastes less, and saves much more money than spends! Whether it is a particularly advanced and intelligent new energy vehicle factory, a traditional steel production base or chemical park, you can take advantage of this east wind to upgrade yourself!
