A Digital Twin Comprehensive Monitoring System for Ship Equipment

Abstract

In this study, a comprehensive digital twin monitoring system for ship equipment was designed and implemented, including the system architecture, key technologies, and applications. Through data-driven models and operational monitoring system analysis, our PSO-SVM-based time series prediction method demonstrated excellent predictive capabilities for catamaran equipment, achieving efficient fault warnings using a threshold method. The digital twin model and virtual scenarios constructed here provide a visualisation and simulation platform for equipment status monitoring, enhanced fault diagnosis and support for maintenance decisions. The system integrates real-time monitoring, fault warning, and data analysis, and testing results show good stability and accuracy. In addition, the system optimises the user experience through multi-round feedback testing, and ensures data security and privacy protection through multi-layer encryption, identity verification, and role-based access control. A case study indicates that the proposed system effectively monitors equipment status and provides fault warnings, and has broad application prospects and practical value. Future work will focus on optimising the functionality and improving the applicability and security of the system.
