The chemical industry has also introduced intelligent technologies to achieve automation and intelligent management of production processes, which has become an important means for the chemical industry to enhance its competitiveness. A large amount of data is generated during the chemical production process, including equipment operation data, process parameter data, quality inspection data, etc. Traditional data management methods are mostly aimed at the simple storage and one-way use of small batches of data. They are suitable for small projects, but when dealing with large projects in the chemical field, it is difficult to efficiently process and analyze data, and it is impossible to fully explore the value behind the data. The degree of cooperation in chemical production is poor. At this time, an intelligent input management method is needed to cope with the explosive growth of data volume; to this end, this solution proposes an intelligent input management method for chemical production. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of the present invention is to provide an intelligent input management method for chemical production to solve the problems raised in the background technology.

[0004] The present invention is achieved through the following technical solutions: The present invention is an intelligent input management method for chemical production. The intelligent input management method is based on a virtual reality system architecture and includes the following steps: S1, data collection, including structured data and unstructured data, also includes extracting data from third-party systems; S2, storing the collected data, and classifying the data into three-dimensional data, attribute data, P&ID data and key document data according to the data type; S3: Identify and import drawings, digitize chemical production-related drawings, including process flow charts, equipment layout diagrams, and piping and instrumentation flow charts, and process initial data; S4, perform data correction. For the data imported by drawing identification, check the accuracy and rationality of the data by comparing it with actual production conditions, historical data or other relevant information; S5, applying the data, including integrated data display, data distribution and data export; S6: During the application of the data in S5, machine learning and deep learning AI algorithms are used to deeply mine and analyze the data in the application, and process monitoring and optimization are performed to obtain digitally delivered virtual reality system data. S7, the virtual reality system data is integrated into the system. After being centrally extracted from the enterprise comprehensive database, it is connected to the virtual reality system through the data interface.

[0005] Preferably, the system architecture of the virtual reality adopts a microservice architecture, and its overall functions are divided into application layer, capability layer, platform layer and resource layer. The application layer builds application modules or subsystems based on the engineering digital delivery business, establishes business rules and presentation layer according to business needs, and the application layer will complete the execution of its own business rules based on the capability layer. The capability layer unifies technical labels and entrances, unifies security rules and performance constraints, and provides common components or microservice interfaces. The platform layer is based on middleware or other system platforms and is constructed as a platform service layer to unify platform capabilities, abstract platform dependencies, and achieve modularization and moderate control of service granularity through microservices to improve service integration and agile management capabilities.

For example, by adjusting process parameters, equipment operating status, etc., the production process reaches the optimal operating state, achieving efficient utilization of resources and maximizing production benefits.

[0011] Preferably, system integration is performed in S7, including video surveillance system, oil refining and chemical operation system, safety and environmental protection management system, equipment integrated management system, enterprise production command system, corrosion monitoring system and VOCs traceability and early warning system, enterprise comprehensive database, including operation and maintenance data and real-time data.

Based on the evaluation results, problems and deficiencies in the system are identified, and corresponding improvement measures are formulated to better meet the actual needs of chemical production.

[0013] The present invention has the following beneficial effects: The intelligent input management method for chemical production of the present invention is based on a virtual reality system architecture and greatly saves time and labor costs by automating data collection and processing. At the same time, the system can quickly process and analyze the collected data, and timely feedback production status information to help operators make decisions quickly and improve production efficiency.
