[0001] The present invention relates to the field of silicon steel production and digital twin technology, and in particular to a 3D digital twin system and control method based on a silicon steel production line. Background Art
[0002] With the development of Industry 4.0 and intelligent manufacturing technologies, 3D digital twin systems have been widely used in the manufacturing sector. By building 3D digital twin systems within production lines, real-time monitoring of production equipment and process parameters, and interacting with virtual models, the level of intelligence and decision-making capabilities of production lines can be effectively improved.
[0003] In the current silicon steel production process, although standardized software is available to collect and organize production data, the data is relatively scattered, making it difficult for personnel to operate and query, and the data display still remains on a two-dimensional plane, lacking intuitiveness.
[0004] On the other hand, thickness uniformity and edge quality of cold-rolled sheet are crucial performance indicators during silicon steel production. Traditional process control methods lack the ability to dynamically evaluate and optimize real-time production data. Furthermore, during the pickling stage, the decision to perform edge trimming is often based on empirical judgment, potentially leading to material waste and reduced product quality.
[0005] Therefore, building a silicon steel production line system based on 3D digital twin technology, realizing intelligent decision-making on thickness deviation assessment and pickling edge trimming, centralizing important production data, combining it with a three-dimensional model, replicating the real workshop scene, and visualizing the data are key technical directions for improving silicon steel production efficiency and quality.

After collecting and preliminarily processing the production data, access control data, driving data, energy data and equipment data of the silicon steel production line, it uses a self-developed computer program to analyze and optimize the data, and finally publishes the relevant results through the client to ensure that the model display effect is more delicate and realistic.
[0087] Specifically, in one embodiment of the present invention, a 3D digital twin system control method based on a silicon steel production line is provided, wherein the process is as follows: Figure 3 shown.
[0088] First, the user double-clicks to open the 3D digital twin system client and enters the virtual twin layer overview interface. The software starts requesting background data and the front end presents the overview page data. The user can view the actual production equipment and production data status in real time.
[0089] Then, the user selects the production control required according to the menu button, processes the production control request data through the back-end business logic interface, accesses the physical layer through the data acquisition layer, calls the data access function and accesses the server database to obtain data, and returns the data to the front end.
