Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of industrial digital twin applications, and in particular, to a deployment method and device for industrial digital twin applications. Background Art

[0002] At present, the application architecture of industrial digital twins is complex and diverse. Due to the complexity of industrial equipment and the large size of related modeling files, the industry adopts manual deployment and manual update methods, which will lead to some uncertain problems and require application for downtime and scheduled repair time. In addition, the digital twin applications in different scenarios vary greatly, but they are mainly reflected in the differences in files and data. There are certain common practices for their installation, deployment and update methods.

[0003] Currently, many digital twin applications, including B / S architecture and C / S architecture, do not yet have methods and devices that meet the requirements of large model files, high system reliability, and high installation and deployment efficiency in industrial scenarios.

[0004] A method and system for continuous delivery of cloud-native applications in multiple environments based on GitOps is disclosed in a patent document with announcement number CN118295772B. This method includes the following steps: application configuration, Git repository, multi-environment differentiated configuration, continuous integration and continuous delivery environment configuration, GitOps application multi-environment continuous delivery, and GitOps application operation and maintenance. This method stores application configuration and infrastructure definitions in a unified manner in the Git repository, and implements cross-environment application deployment through an automated CI / CD pipeline. Although the source code-based continuous integration method can meet the system development and operation and maintenance scenarios of commonly used information systems, such as MES, ERP, etc., it cannot meet the digital twin application scenarios, especially the update requirements of 3D model files of large-scale equipment. These 3D model files are usually compiled and rendered using third-party software, such as UE, Unity, etc.

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to propose a new technical solution to improve the above technical problems. Summary of the invention

[0076] Embodiment 3:

[0077] Reference Figure 1 The present invention designs a method and device for deploying industrial digital twin applications, provides a standardized operation mode for deploying digital twin applications in industrial scenarios, assists enterprises in quickly deploying digital twin applications through configurable scenario templates and version release and update functions, and realizes non-stop updates of digital twin applications through version update mechanisms, including the following steps:

[0078] Step 1: Initialize the server environment, including the installation of the Java Runtime Environment (JDK) and database instance.

[0079] Step 2: Deploy the digital twin application installer server and start it. Start the installer server at the IP address 10.25.102.34: java-jar iPlat-DT-setup.jar.

[0080] Step 3: Use a browser to access the installation page to start the installation of the digital twin application. Use the browser to access http: / / 10.25.102.34:10001 to open the installation wizard page.

[0081] Step 3.1: Select the digital twin application scenario type, such as steelmaking continuous casting, hot rolling heating furnace, etc.

[0082] Step 3.2: Select digital twin platform modules, such as digital-real connection, model management, etc.

[0083] Step 3.3: Enter the database connection information, such as database type, account password, etc., and execute the initialization script.

[0084] Step 3.4: The installer server executes file deployment, changes configuration files, starts the platform server, and starts the update service. The installer obtains the digital twin application server platform file from the daily compilation server, modifies its configuration file to point to the database type, account password, etc. provided by the user in the installation interface, and starts the platform server; obtains the update service site server file ClientUpdate.jar, modifies its configuration file to point to the current server IP address, and starts the update site; establishes the storage path for digital twin application modules, model files and other resources, etc.

[0085] Step 4: After the installation is complete, jump to open the digital twin application login page.

[0086] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 , the update service method includes the following steps:

[0087] Step S1: The development and operation personnel log in to the update site.

[0088] Step S2: Upload files according to the module path, such as 3D device model files, client dynamic libraries, client static resource files, etc.

[0089] Step S2.1: The update site calculates the MD5 summary information of the file: The update site first calculates the file size. For smaller files, it directly uses java.security.MessageDigest to calculate the MD5 value. For larger model files, it calculates and updates the file segment by segment according to the file stream, and finally obtains the MD5 value of the file.

[0090] Step S2.2: The update site writes the file name, MD5 summary information, and update time into (if the file does not exist) or updates (if the file already exists) the server-side FileVersion configuration file.

[0091] Step S3: When the digital twin application client is started, it first starts the update check to obtain the server-side FileVersion configuration file of the update site. When the acquisition fails due to network or update site abnormalities, the client will remind the user to retry or skip the update to ensure system availability. Errors during file download will not affect the operation of the existing system; errors during file replacement will not affect the operation of the existing system, and the client will skip the current file; temporary files will only be deleted if the download and replacement are successful. This is in the same logic, which can ensure that the same file is fully downloaded, replaced or skipped, and will not be partially replaced.

[0092] Step S4: The digital twin application client compares the MD5 values ​​of all files in the local FileVersion configuration file and the FileVersion configuration file obtained in step S3. When the MD5 values ​​of the files are inconsistent and the server update time is newer, the update site interface is called to download the file. When downloading a file, first save the file in the Temp folder under the installation directory and save it as a temporary file in the "file name.Downloading" format. After the file is downloaded, the client will copy and replace the target file and delete the temporary file; if the target file is occupied (for example: the client is opened multiple times) and the copy and replacement fails, the temporary file will be retained, and the update, copy and replacement will be tried again the next time the client is started to ensure that the file is finally updated successfully.

[0093] Step S5: After the update is completed, the local FileVersion configuration file is replaced with the FileVersion configuration file on the server side, and the digital twin application client is entered.

[0094] The present invention solves the problems of repetitive labor and uncertainty in manual deployment by adopting a standardized digital twin application deployment mode, reduces the impact of human factors, and improves the installation and deployment efficiency of digital twin applications; by adopting a modular deployment method, it solves the differentiated deployment of digital twin applications in different industrial scenarios, and avoids the problem of making multiple installation packages or redundant deployment of model files; by adopting a version release and update function, it solves the downtime impact caused by system file updates, especially large file updates of digital twin device models, and improves system availability.
