Knowledge-driven process industry smart manufacturing

Abstract

Smart manufacturing is a necessary approach to realize highly efficient, green, and high-quality development of China's process industry. Knowledge is the core production factor of smart manufacturing in the process industry, where knowledge is a new mode of innovation in process industry development. Based on the importance and characteristics of knowledge in process manufacturing, this paper reviews the research and application of knowledge in process manufacturing. A systematic framework of knowledge-driven process industry smart manufacturing is proposed, and crucial technologies, such as knowledge deep acquisition, knowledge injection, and industrial knowledge graph, are discussed. Using a case study of the smart decision-making process of aluminum electrolysis enterprises, the important role of the above crucial technologies in the process industry smart manufacturing system is presented. Further, the challenges and future prospects of knowledge-driven process industry smart manufacturing are provided.
