"Digital Twins Technology" Appeared in the First Vocational Skills Competition to Promote the High Quality Development of Intelligent Manufacturing
From October 10 to 13, the first vocational skills competition of the people's Republic of China was held in Guangzhou with the theme of "new era, new skills and new dream". There are 86 events in the competition, with more than 2500 contestants and 2300 judges participating in the competition. It is a comprehensive national vocational skill competition with the highest standard, the largest number of projects, the largest scale and the highest level since the founding of China.
One of the highlights of the competition is to combine skills competition with skills exhibition and exchange activities to stimulate the public to participate in and observe the events. During the competition, 5 exhibition areas and 179 booths were set up in the exhibition hall, with a total area of more than 10000 square meters. The exhibition project is rich in content and novel in form, which can have a good interaction and experience with the audience, and also build a platform for in-depth communication, discussion and cooperation for the government, enterprises and colleges.
Shandong province attaches great importance to the competition, taking the competition as an important platform for selecting excellent and highly skilled talents, and taking the competition as a rare opportunity to carry forward the craftsman spirit and lead the construction of skilled personnel team. A total of 97 players and 83 referees were selected to participate in all events. As one of the technical support units of the competition, the "digital twin technology application platform" displayed by China Germany Dolang education and technology group from Shandong Province attracted a large number of participants to visit, experience and communicate with each other because it can seamlessly connect the real and virtual space, highly simulate the real situation and simulate the production situation under different conditions.
The concept of "digital twins" was first proposed by Dr. Michael, a professor at the University of Michigan. It refers to the technology of constructing a virtual entity consistent with the real entity in the virtual space through digital means. Generally speaking, it is the technology of copying an object completely onto a digital device for people to observe. In recent years, this cutting-edge technology has been widely concerned by industry and academia. It is regarded as a wind vane of technological innovation and a new opportunity for development. Its technology application has taken the lead in intelligent manufacturing and other related fields.
Digital twins technology is advanced because it can simulate, and predict the running state of real objects by manipulating digital twins, and solves the problem of connecting and interacting with the virtual world and the real world that have plagued people for a long time. It is equivalent to building a "twin intelligent manufacturing workshop" which is the same as the physical production base. Combined with VR technology and through virtual simulation operation, the intelligent manufacturing process can be modeled, characterized and event-based, so that employees can practice and Practice on the virtual model, which brings interactive learning, training and practical operation experience, effectively avoids the security risk.
Secondly, the digital twin technology can also simulate the production situation in different situations and conditions, monitor the process of experiment and production, as well as the data statistics, analysis and storage, so as to realize real data connection and resource sharing. Employees can use the virtual twin tool to realize their own creativity, and can call the network data at any time to analyze and modify, verify and optimize the twin body, making it possible for situational, customized, personalized learning, training and practical operation. It realizes the real virtual and real interconnection, and creates a dynamic, personalized, enjoyable and intelligent learning environment.
"The wide application of cutting-edge technologies such as digital twin technology will affect the whole process of enterprise intelligent manufacturing and improve the quality of manufacturing industry from the source.".Jiang Zuodong, chairman of China Germany Dolang education and technology group, said."Digital twin technology can realize the virtual mapping of virtual and real interaction and data fusion, serving intelligent design, intelligent processing, intelligent assembly and intelligent services, and will bring revolutionary changes to the manufacturing industry."
Based on the advantages of model, data and service, digital twin is becoming the key technology in the field of intelligent manufacturing. Shandong is a big province of manufacturing industry. It can be predicted that digital twin technology will play an important role in promoting the digital transformation of manufacturing industry in Shandong Province, so as to realize the leap from a manufacturing province to a manufacturing strong province and the construction and supply of "digital Shandong"Powerful technical support, promote the high quality development of economy and society!
