Abstract
The non-ferrous metal industry is one of the most important parts of China’s process industry and has an extremely important strategic position in the national economy. However, there are many problems in the process of non-ferrous metal smelting: (1) The utilization rate of resource and energy is low in the production process. (2) Large amount of waste emissions have caused prominent environmental problems. (3) The added value of non-ferrous metals is low; besides, the product homogenization is serious. To solve these problems, a novel intelligent manufacturing mode with human-cyber-physical(HCP)collaboration and fusion is constructed from three aspects: (1) an intelligent manufacturing system with HCP collaboration and fusion, (2) a service-based ecosystem platform, and (3) a sustainable business model. The proposed manufacturing mode can make the process of non-ferrous smelting safe, efficient, intelligent, and green. A case study on the largest copper smelting enterprise in the world elaborates the digital twin-based manufacturing system collaborative platform architecture, the framework of the service-based ecosystem platform, and the sustainable business model canvas, which are built by the proposed intelligent manufacturing mode. The results of this paper contribute to the research and practice of non-ferrous metals enterprise’s manufacturing mode.
Highlights
Non-ferrous metals are basic raw materials for developing the national economy and strategic materials for the national defense and military industries
In order to solve these problems systematically and comprehensively, we proposed a novel intelligent manufacturing mode with human-cyber-physical (HCP) collaboration and fusion from three aspects: 1) intelligent manufacturing system with HCP collaboration and fusion, 2) product service system based on ecosystem platform, and 3) sustainable business model, to realize the safe, efficient and green production for the non-ferrous metal smelting process
The new manufacturing mode includes three parts: product system based on ecosystem service platform, sustainable business model and intelligent manufacturing system with HCP collaboration and fusion
Summary
Non-ferrous metals are basic raw materials for developing the national economy and strategic materials for the national defense and military industries. As a whole, china is not a strong country in the non-ferrous metal industry, primarily due to the following problems: 1) the smelting process of non-ferrous metal is long and there is correlation coupling between different processes, in which manufacturing data &information among the different product, manufacturing and management domains is separated; 2) the demand of refined management and control with cost, efficiency, quality and safety as the core is prominent, but production, supply and marketing are disjointed which directly affects the production efficiency, energy consumption, material consumption and pollutant emission of non-ferrous metal smelting; 3) the non-ferrous metals products are stable in variety, and the demand for personalized customization is important for the downstream production enterprises, when the products themselves cannot be upgraded through networking or embedded artificial intelligence technology, an intelligent product service platform should be further built to provide the personalized services for the partners.
