Optimization Method for Digital Twin Manufacturing System Based on NSGA-II

Abstract

In the wave of industrial modernization, a concept that comprehensively covers the product lifecycle has been proposed, namely the digital twin manufacturing system. The digital twin manufacturing system can conduct three-dimensional simulation of the workshop, thereby achieving dynamic scheduling and energy efficiency optimization of the workshop. The optimization of digital twin manufacturing systems has become a focus of research. In order to reduce power consumption and production time in manufacturing workshops, the study adopted a non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm to improve its elitist retention strategy for the problem of easily falling into local optima. On the ground of the idea of multi-objective optimization, the optimization was carried out with the production time and power consumption of the manufacturing industry as the objectives. The experiment showcased that the improved algorithm outperforms the multi-objective optimization algorithm on the ground of decomposition and the evolutionary algorithm on the ground of Pareto dominance. Compared to the two comparison algorithms, the production time optimization effect and power consumption optimization effect of different numbers of devices were 11.12%-21.37% and 2.14%-6.89% higher, respectively. The optimization time of the improved algorithm was 713.5 seconds, that was reduced by 173.8 seconds and 179.8 seconds compared to the other two algorithms, respectively. The total power consumption of the improved optimization model was 2883.7kWs, which was reduced by 32.0kW*s and 45.5kW*s compared to the other two algorithms, respectively. This study proposed a new multi-objective optimization algorithm for the current digital twin manufacturing industry. This algorithm effectively reduces production time and power consumption, and has important guiding significance for manufacturing system optimization in actual production environments.
