Project Overview

NAEC developed the “Wheel Press Circumferential Seam Digital Twin Smart Production Line Project” for a heavy industry group. As a key project in the group’s digital transformation, it connects the MES and LES systems, integrating upstream and downstream processes to create a fully unmanned digital production line.

The project features an intelligent dashboard with highly integrated video streams, 360° all-around monitoring, and a live digital twin that mirrors the physical environment. This delivers an immersive smart manufacturing experience.

Focusing on the core needs of the project, NAEC implemented digital-physical integration of the wheel press circumferential seam production line based on digital twin technology. Leveraging its strong expertise in digital twin implementation and platform integration, NAEC provided robust technical support to ensure the successful construction of this smart production line.

 

The project was designed to achieve specific production capacity goals: each shift (7.5 hours) processes no fewer than 25 wheel press units per day. Typical welding parameters are preset, production rhythm is calculated, and the required actual capacity is provided.
