Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of industrial internet and intelligent manufacturing technology, and more specifically to a unified management method and system for intelligent smelting plants. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional smelting plants are accelerating their transformation towards intelligent and digital transformation. In this process, a series of information technology applications have been gradually deployed within the plants, including Production Execution System (MES), Equipment Management System (EAM), Energy Management System (EMS), and Quality Management System (QMS). However, these systems are often built by different vendors at different times, employing heterogeneous technical architectures and data standards, resulting in multiple information silos and causing the following prominent problems:

[0003] 1. Each application system operates independently, with its own log format and storage mechanism. When production anomalies or system failures occur, maintenance personnel need to log into different systems to view logs, and cross-system comparison and analysis is time-consuming and labor-intensive, seriously affecting the efficiency of troubleshooting and recovery.

[0004] 2. Employees need to remember multiple sets of account passwords and frequently switch between different systems to log in, which is cumbersome. At the same time, user identities, organizational structures, and permission policies are maintained independently in each system, which not only causes duplication of work but also makes data inconsistencies and access control vulnerabilities highly likely.

[0005] 3. Critical production alarms, equipment malfunctions, pending approvals, and inventory warnings are pushed independently by each system, resulting in inconsistent channels and a lack of precise matching with job positions and roles. Important information is easily missed or overlooked, affecting production decisions and process coordination.

[0006] 4. The lack of a unified standard for the access of new applications or new devices means that each integration point requires customized development, resulting in high system coupling, poor scalability, and difficulty in quickly responding to the changing needs of factory business.

[0007] While existing technologies offer solutions for single functions such as log analysis or single sign-on, there is a lack of a standardized and unified management platform that can span the entire chain of application access, log management, message push, and identity governance, specifically designed for intelligent smelting plant scenarios.

[0008] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a systematic solution to achieve the organic integration and unified management of multi-source heterogeneous systems within the factory, thereby improving overall operational efficiency and intelligent management. Summary of the Invention

[0009] In view of the above problems, the present invention provides a unified management method for intelligent smelting plants that overcomes or at least partially solves the above problems.

[0010] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: S1. Construct a central management platform and connect multiple heterogeneous business application systems within the factory to the central management platform; S2. Define and maintain unified organizational data containing specific job information in the central management platform; S3. Based on the job information, uniformly configure the user's access permissions to each connected business application system, and subscribe to relevant message topics for each job. S4. Through the central management platform, the operation logs of various business application systems are collected centrally, and the collected logs are processed in a standardized manner and monitored in a unified manner. S5. In response to the monitoring of log events that require early warning or the receipt of business messages from business application systems, the message is routed and pushed to the associated users of the corresponding positions according to the topic to which the message belongs and the relationship of message topics subscribed to for each position. S6. Through the unified authentication portal provided by the central management platform, the requests of users to access any connected business application system are centrally authenticated, and access authorization is completed based on the configured permissions to achieve single sign-on.

[0011] Preferably, in step S2, defining and maintaining unified organizational data containing specific job information specifically involves defining and maintaining the factory's organizational structure in a tree structure, wherein the nodes of the organizational structure include the company, department, workshop, work group, and specific job.

[0012] Preferably, in step S3, subscribing to relevant message topics for each position specifically includes: creating message topics corresponding to factory operation events on the central management platform, and binding specific positions to specific message topics.

[0013] Preferably, the step S4 of centrally collecting the operation logs of each business application system specifically includes: collecting native logs at a preset level through a log collection agent deployed in the business application system, and transmitting the log data to the central management platform via HTTP or a message queue.

[0014] Preferably, in step S4, the standardization processing of the collected logs specifically includes: parsing and converting the native logs from different business application systems into standard format log data defined by the central management platform, establishing a unified index, and then storing them.

[0015] Preferably, in step S4, the unified monitoring of the collected logs specifically includes: configuring early warning rules based on log patterns or key fields; and matching the standardized log data with the early warning rules in real time.

[0016] Preferably, in step S5, pushing the message to the associated user specifically includes: querying all positions that have subscribed to the topic based on the message topic, obtaining a list of users associated with these positions and their mobile terminal identifiers; and sending the message content to the user's mobile terminal through the configured mobile push service channel.

[0017] Furthermore, the step of sending messages through the configured mobile push service channels specifically includes: the central management platform integrating and managing the configuration information of multiple third-party mobile push services, and automatically selecting the corresponding push service interface to send messages according to the user terminal type.

[0018] Preferably, in step S6, the centralized authentication and authorization of user access requests specifically includes: based on the OAuth 2.0 protocol, completing authentication and issuing a global security token when the user accesses the platform for the first time; during subsequent accesses, the business application system backend verifies the validity of the token and the user's permissions with the central management platform.

[0019] Based on the same inventive concept, this invention also discloses a unified management system for intelligent smelting plants, used to execute the aforementioned unified management method, comprising: A central management platform is used to connect multiple heterogeneous business application systems within the factory to the central management platform. The unified data management module is used to define and maintain unified organizational data containing specific job information; The application access and permission configuration module is used to uniformly configure user access permissions to various connected business application systems and subscribe to relevant message topics for each position. The log central processing module is used to centrally collect the operation logs of various business application systems, and to perform standardized processing and unified monitoring of the collected logs. The topic subscription and message routing module responds to log events that require early warning or to business messages received from business application systems. Based on the topic to which the message belongs and the relationship between the message topics subscribed to by each position, the module routes and pushes the message to the associated user of the corresponding position. The unified authentication and single sign-on module is used to centrally authenticate user requests to access any connected business application system through the unified authentication entry provided by the central management platform, and complete access authorization based on the configured permissions to achieve single sign-on.

[0020] The beneficial effects of the above-described technical solutions provided in the embodiments of the present invention include at least the following: 1. By centralizing and standardizing scattered logs through unified log management, powerful retrieval and early warning capabilities are provided, which greatly shortens the average fault recovery time and improves the level of intelligent operation and maintenance.

[0021] 2. Through unified user, organization, and application permission management, a single account can manage the entire factory, eliminating permission chaos, reducing user management costs, and enhancing overall security control capabilities.

[0022] 3. Through topic management and precise job topic configuration, a unified, controllable, and targeted message push system has been built to ensure that key information is delivered to the responsible persons in a timely and accurate manner, which greatly improves the efficiency of cross-departmental and cross-system process collaboration.

[0023] 4. This invention adopts a loosely coupled modular design, defining clear application access standards and data interaction specifications. The system can be easily connected to the platform like plug-and-play components, significantly improving the scalability and adaptability to future technologies of the factory information system.

Detailed Implementation

[0026] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0027] Example 1 like Figure 1 As shown, this invention discloses a unified management method for intelligent smelting plants, specifically including the following steps: S1. Build a central management platform and connect multiple heterogeneous business application systems within the factory to the platform; S2. Define and maintain unified organizational data containing specific job information in the central management platform; S3. Based on job information, uniformly configure user access permissions to various connected business application systems, and subscribe to relevant message topics for each job position. S4. Through the central management platform, the operation logs of various business application systems are collected centrally, and the collected logs are processed in a standardized manner and monitored in a unified manner. S5. In response to the monitoring of log events that require early warning or the receipt of business messages from business application systems, the message is routed and pushed to the associated users of the corresponding positions according to the topic to which the message belongs and the relationship of message topics subscribed to for each position. S6. Through the unified authentication portal provided by the central management platform, requests from users to access any connected business application system are centrally authenticated, and access authorization is completed based on the configured permissions to achieve single sign-on.

[0028] Specifically, the first step is to build a central management platform based on a microservices architecture. Existing heterogeneous business application systems in the factory, such as the Manufacturing Execution System (MES) and the Equipment Management System (EAM), are registered as independent application nodes and connected to the central management platform.

[0029] Within the central management platform, maintenance personnel input the smelting plant's organizational structure in a tree-like format, according to the plant's actual management hierarchy. Nodes include the company headquarters, ironmaking branch, blast furnace workshop, and shift one. Specific job positions are defined at the lowest level, such as furnace operator, equipment inspector, and maintenance engineer. User accounts are then created and associated with these positions.

[0030] Furthermore, maintenance personnel can uniformly configure the access permissions of users in the furnace operator position to the production reporting function module in the MES system and the equipment status viewing function module in the EAM system, based on the position information.

[0031] Maintenance personnel also create message topics corresponding to factory operation events, such as blast furnace temperature threshold alarms and equipment daily maintenance reminders, and bind specific positions to specific message topics to complete the establishment of subscription relationships.

[0032] To achieve unified log management, a lightweight log collection agent is deployed on system servers such as MES and EAM. The agent collects the system's native log files according to preset levels, such as WARN level and above, and sends the log data to the central management platform's log collection interface in real time via HTTP or Kafka message queues.

[0033] After receiving the logs, the central management platform's log parser parses them from their original diverse formats and converts them into a unified JSON standard format defined by the platform. This format includes fixed fields such as timestamp, application identifier, log level, host IP, and detailed content. The formatted logs are then stored in an Elasticsearch cluster for centralized indexing and storage.

[0034] Maintenance personnel can configure alert rules on the platform interface. An alert will be triggered when the log level is ERROR and the content contains the keyword "motor overload". The log stream processing engine consumes the standardized log data in real time and matches it against the rule. When an ERROR log from the EAM system contains the keyword "wind turbine motor overload", the rule is triggered, and the system automatically generates an alert message containing the faulty equipment, time, log summary, etc.

[0035] When the EAM system publishes a business message indicating that the wind turbine maintenance is due to expire to the equipment daily maintenance reminder topic, or when the above warning message is generated by log monitoring, the message routing module will query all positions that have subscribed to this topic, namely equipment inspectors, based on the topic name, and then obtain the user IDs and registered mobile device identifiers of all users belonging to this position. The platform's mobile push gateway module has pre-configured settings for push services from Huawei, Xiaomi, and other companies. Based on the target device's identifier, the gateway automatically selects the Huawei push service interface, encapsulates maintenance tasks or warning information into a format that meets the service's requirements, and then sends it out. The relevant inspectors will then receive this push notification via their factory-specific app.

[0036] Furthermore, in one embodiment, the user is Zhang San, and the job title is Furnace Operator. When Zhang San first accesses the MES system website via a PC browser, the SDK integrated into the MES front-end redirects him to the unified login page of the central management platform. Zhang San enters his account and password, and the platform authenticates him using the OAuth 2.0 protocol. Upon successful authentication, a global access token is issued, and he is redirected back to the MES.

[0037] The MES system backend carries this token to call the token verification interface provided by the platform. The platform verifies the token's validity and, based on the permissions pre-configured for the furnace operator, returns a list of MES functions that the user is authorized to access. Upon successful verification, Zhang San can use the MES without re-entering a password. When he subsequently accesses the EAM system, the EAM system repeats this token verification process, achieving seamless access.

[0038] Based on the same inventive concept, embodiments of the present invention also provide a unified management system for intelligent smelting plants, used to execute the above-described unified management method, including: A central management platform is used to connect multiple heterogeneous business application systems within the factory to the central management platform. The unified data management module is used to define and maintain unified organizational data containing specific job information; The application access and permission configuration module is used to uniformly configure user access permissions to various connected business application systems and subscribe to relevant message topics for each position. The log central processing module is used to centrally collect the operation logs of various business application systems, and to perform standardized processing and unified monitoring of the collected logs. The topic subscription and message routing module is used to respond to log events that require early warning or to receive business messages from business application systems. Based on the topic to which the message belongs and the relationship between the message topics subscribed to by each position, the module routes and pushes the message to the associated user of the corresponding position. The unified authentication and single sign-on module is used to centrally authenticate user requests to access any connected business application system through the unified authentication entry provided by the central management platform, and complete access authorization based on the configured permissions to achieve single sign-on.
