Research and Development of Key Technologies for Digital Twin Intelligent Production Line System
Revolutionizing Manufacturing with Digital Twin Intelligence
In response to the lack of information models in discrete manufacturing execution systems, digital twin technology is integrated into the system architecture to clarify the meaning of digital information such as physical workshops, twin workshops, management systems, and twin data based on digital twins. We studied the development of an intelligent workshop system based on digital twins, and proposed a data acquisition framework between the physical workshop controller and the twin model in the dynamic control module of the twin workshop, achieving information exchange between the twin workshop and the physical workshop. Based on a case study of a discrete manufacturing workshop, a real-time data-driven digital twin model for physical workshop production has been completed, providing a foundation for subsequent theoretical research.

Production Line Optimization
The paper explores the application of digital twin technology to create an intelligent production line system. It details the seamless integration of virtual and real environments, emphasizing data-driven intelligent manufacturing. The concept of a 'living organism' twin that mirrors physical entities and continuously improves through collected data is central. The system aims to eliminate 2D engineering drawings, ensuring data uniqueness and providing a robust foundation for decision support and optimization.
This research outlines the development of a comprehensive intelligent manufacturing system. It integrates CNC machine tools, industrial robots, machine vision, and central control systems for rapid change and optimized production. The system focuses on achieving high degrees of human-machine material coordination, real-time monitoring of CNC machine tools, and timely fault elimination to enhance overall manufacturing intelligence. The core idea is to move beyond traditional MES to a digital twin-based system that easily integrates emerging technologies like deep learning and cloud computing.
The study addresses the challenge of optimizing production line layouts as a dynamic, multi-objective problem. It highlights the use of digital twin technology for simulation and optimization, enabling full-element interaction and integration within the production process. The system allows for virtual simulations of equipment, material consumption, and completion times, feeding results back to management for iterative design and optimization. This approach provides a foundation for future energy efficiency collection and intelligent operation and maintenance.

Digital Twin Production Line Implementation
A physical production line system and a digital twin virtual production line system have been constructed through the integration of virtual and real technologies. The physical factory shares a data platform with the virtual factory, forming a virtual mapping and digitizing the physical factory. This intelligent manufacturing system leverages CNC machine tools, industrial fieldbus, and computer technology. The virtualized smart factory enables automation and artificial intelligence applications by integrating virtual and real control. Through the integration of the real on-site control system into the digital 3D virtual system, 3D digital control process monitoring is achieved. The system uses a completely consistent data interface, including digital PLC, motion controller, and programmable teaching pendants, to connect communication between controllers and virtualization via hardware simulation technology. This allows for real PLC programming control of twin production lines and programming applications for industrial robots, MES scheduling, and CNC equipment, achieving the same simulation effect as the real smart factory through 3D virtual equipment display.
