[0002] With the advancement of Industry 4.0 and intelligent manufacturing, digital twin technology has been widely applied in fields such as industrial control and new energy management. However, there are significant deficiencies in data acquisition and processing in existing digital twin control platforms. Traditional edge devices have a relatively high processing delay (often exceeding 10 ms), a low data compression rate (<70%), and only support a single protocol, making it difficult to be compatible with the requirements of multi-modal and multi-source data acquisition, resulting in poor real-time performance. In addition, static or offline methods are mostly adopted at the modeling level, making it difficult to dynamically adapt to changes in physical entities, and data sharing in distributed collaboration is prone to privacy leakage, lacking an effective privacy protection mechanism. These problems limit the efficient application of digital twin systems in complex industrial scenarios.
