An intermodal-container-based factory for manufacturing building construction components is disclosed. The factory includes a plurality of intermodal containers that have been converted into specialized workstations and arranged into one or more assembly lines. Each workstation includes manufacturing equipment permanently mounted within an intermodal container, where the equipment is configured to fabricate a particular type of building component such as windows, doors, walls, plumbing modules, aluminum panels, or structural frames. The assembly lines are configured to produce different building components in a sequential process, receiving raw materials at a first container, processing intermediate parts through subsequent containers, and outputting completed building components at a final container for installation in a building under construction.

This invention provides a manufacturing factory management system based on a digital twin platform, belonging to the field of factory management technology. It includes: a physical factory layer for real-time collection of equipment operation, process parameters, material consumption, and employee work reports; a digital twin platform layer deployed on a cloud or local server, including a data acquisition and integration module, a model building and management module, and a simulation and prediction module, constructing a high-fidelity, real-time synchronized digital twin and identifying dynamic bottlenecks based on constraint theory; and an application service layer including sub-modules such as intelligent scheduling and dynamic dispatching, human-machine collaborative work assignment, precise quality control, predictive equipment maintenance, and intelligent logistics and warehouse scheduling. This invention achieves real-time mapping and interaction between the physical factory and virtual space through the digital twin, solving problems such as data silos, delayed response, and disconnect between planning and execution in existing systems, thus realizing adaptive optimization and precise control of the production process.
