Intelligent Factory Solution for Smelting Industry

Plan Overview:

In combination with the characteristics of multi-element resources symbiosis in non-ferrous metal smelting, large fluctuations in raw material quality, complex smelting process, etc., on the basis of the existing automation and information construction of the enterprise, promote the application of Internet, big data, artificial intelligence, 5G, edge computing, virtual reality and other cutting-edge technologies in colored smelting plants, realize the digital convergence, network sharing and platform based collaboration of manufacturing resource elements such as equipment, materials, energy, etc., have the ability to visualize online monitoring of all factor data at the factory level, real-time independent linkage balance and optimization, and build a clean, environmental friendly, high-quality, low consumption, safe and efficient non-ferrous metal intelligent smelting plant integrating full process automation production lines, integrated information management and control platform, real-time collaborative optimization of intelligent production system, and refined energy efficiency management and control. The construction content mainly includes: industrial data platform, production management system, equipment management system, energy management system, laboratory management system, quality management system, safety and environmental management system, metal balance, ingredient optimization, cost management, visual analysis system (digital twin, leadership cockpit, big data analysis).

Application architecture diagram:

Following the overall architecture design concept of "microservices, large platforms, and light applications", combined with the national intelligent smelting construction standard guidelines, relying on the process flow and characteristics of the smelting industry, integrating the enterprise's business management concept, creating a full process management that integrates research and development design, production and manufacturing, material supply, product marketing, and product services, covering all aspects of the enterprise's business and data, creating a data-driven and comprehensive intelligent smelting control platform, providing technical support for the horizontal data connection and vertical data integration of enterprises, and building an integrated control platform. The reference architecture is as follows:

Construction effectiveness:

Realize the full collection of data from enterprise's underlying DCS, PLC, instruments, intelligent equipment, etc., reduce manual data entry, and fully release labor force; Building an intelligent factory with machines replacing humans, automatic statistics replacing manual statistics, and automatic analysis replacing manual analysis, to achieve multiple job positions with reduced staff and increased efficiency. By building an integrated platform, ineffective communication between departments can be reduced, and the enterprise's collaborative scheduling and business management capabilities can be improved, achieving the overall goal of product quality improvement, efficient collaboration, safety control, and cost reduction and efficiency enhancement.
