Real-time monitoring of digital production
[2025-04-18]

First, the technical cornerstone: the full link architecture from data acquisition to intelligent decision-making.

The core of real-time monitoring of digital production is to build a closed-loop system of "perception-transmission-analysis-execution". Taking the "sensor+video surveillance+Internet of Things" architecture proposed by Tencent Cloud as an example, its technical path can be disassembled as follows:

1. ulti-dimensional data acquisition: Real-time capture of equipment operation parameters through high-precision sensors (such as temperature, vibration and flow sensors), combined with AI vision system to realize stereoscopic perception of production scenes. For example, the Lianshan data monitoring platform deployed by LI's Beijing factory can detect the torque curve of bolt tightening in real time through tens of thousands of AI "quality inspectors", which reduces the product defect rate to 0.01%.

2. Edge computing empowerment: deploy edge computing nodes in the production site to realize data localization. Intel's industrial Internet of Things solution completes 90% real-time data analysis through edge devices, shortening the response time of key decisions to milliseconds.

3. Cloud intelligent hub: A digital twin system is built by using the cloud computing platform, and a 1:1 model of the physical production line is built. The RTMS system independently developed by Hongtai Electromechanical Co., Ltd., by integrating ERP, MES and central monitoring module, achieved the production plan achievement rate of 99.5%, and the on-time delivery rate of orders increased to 99.8%.

4. Dynamic closed-loop control: automatic adjustment of production parameters based on data analysis results. The EMS smart energy platform of Fujian Sanbao Iron and Steel Co., Ltd. can reduce the emission rate of blast furnace gas by 30% and the comprehensive energy consumption per ton of steel by 2% by monitoring the gas and power system in real time.

Second, value reconstruction: a three-level transition from efficiency improvement to model innovation

Real-time monitoring technology is triggering three major changes in manufacturing industry:

1. Production efficiency revolution

-The overall equipment efficiency (OEE) is improved by 20-30%: Nettech realizes the automation of the whole production process through DCS system, and the continuous operation period of equipment is extended from 20 days to 157 days, and the number of stops is reduced by 8 times a year.

-Optimization of capacity utilization rate: The project of Jinkong Electric Smart Power Plant can save labor costs by over one million yuan per year and improve boiler efficiency by 0.5% through real-time monitoring of coal yard material taking operation.

2. Upgrade of quality control

-The detection rate of defects exceeded 99%: the "Sunshine Factory" project in Zhangzhou City deployed AI capture system in food enterprises, and identified 255,000 illegal operations, with the compliance rate of additives reaching 100%.

-Full-process traceability system: Tucki Huitian Flying Automobile Intelligent Manufacturing Base has established an "ID card" system for parts, realizing 236 key points traceability from raw materials to finished products.

3. Business model innovation

-Predictive maintenance service: Caesar Air Compressor monitors the equipment status in real time through the Internet of Things platform, which reduces the downtime of customers by 70% and increases the service revenue to 40%.

-Sharing Manufacturing platform: OneNET, an industrial internet platform, supports the access of more than 60,000 enterprises' equipment, and improves the equipment utilization rate of small and medium-sized enterprises by an average of 18% through capacity sharing.

Third, the implementation path: the four-step rule from single breakthrough to system reconstruction

1. Equipment interconnection stage: complete the digital transformation of production equipment, such as adding a laser scanning modeling system to the bucket wheel machine by Jinkong Electric Power Co., Ltd. to realize unmanned stacking and fetching.

2. Data penetration stage: breaking the information island, such as Zhangzhou Market Supervision Bureau integrating the temperature, humidity and video monitoring data of 80 food enterprises to build a unified supervision platform.

3. Intelligent decision-making stage: AI algorithm is applied to optimize production. For example, LI Lianshan platform analyzes 2000+ process parameters through a large model, which improves production efficiency by 20%.

4. Ecological collaboration stage: integrating into the industrial Internet, for example, Lu 'an Chemical Machinery and Nanjing University of Science and Technology jointly developed 10 intelligent management modules to realize cross-enterprise production collaboration.

Fourth, the future trend: technology integration and paradigm innovation

1. 5G+ Industrial Internet: 5G network will support the low-latency (< 10ms) connection of millions of devices. For example, Intel's 5G private network scheme can manage 100,000 industrial devices at the same time.

2. Deepening digital twinning: extending from equipment-level twinning to factory-level and supply chain-level. For example, Tashan Power Generation Company optimizes coal consumption through digital twinning model, and the annual coal saving income is 3 million yuan.

3. AI native manufacturing: Generative AI will reconstruct the production process. For example, the SAP Leonardo platform predicts equipment failure through AI, which reduces the maintenance cost by 35%.

4. Closed loop of green manufacturing: Real-time monitoring technology helps carbon footprint management. For example, Sambo Steel achieved a 5% reduction in carbon emissions per ton of steel through EMS platform.

Real-time monitoring of digital production is not only a technical tool, but also the infrastructure for enterprises to realize "digital immortality". When the cases of AI quality inspector in LI, Sunshine Factory in Zhangzhou, and intelligent control center of Lu 'an Chemical Machinery are constantly emerging, what we see is the qualitative change of manufacturing industry from "experience-driven" to "data intelligence". For enterprises, this is not only a competition that must be participated, but also an opportunity to reshape the industrial structure. As the industrial Internet experts said, "The future manufacturing competition is essentially the competition of data assets." The real-time monitoring system is the core equipment for enterprises to mine data gold mines.
