BEIJING, Dec. 24, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- On December 21, the "2024 iSoftStone AI+Digital Twin Innovation and Development Forum" was grandly held in Nanjing. The forum was hosted by iSoftStone and co-organized by iSoftStone Tianshu Metaverse Research Institute. Nearly 100 top experts, leading enterprise representatives and upstream and downstream industry partners in the industry attended the forum to exchange and share ideas on the integration of digital twins and AI technologies and industry innovation practices. At the forum, the new version of iSoftStone Tianshu iSSMeta2024 digital twin simulation platform was released, and iSoftStone signed an industry-education integration cooperation agreement with Jiangsu Vocational and Technical College of Economics and Trade.
1Insight into the trend of change and lead the development of the industry
Ning Zhenbo, former chief consultant of China Aviation Industry Information Technology Center and independent director of China Shipbuilding, shared the necessity and value of digital simulation in the aviation industry. He started with the simulation of the aircraft development process and vividly demonstrated the important role of aerodynamic simulation, assembly simulation, structural mechanics simulation, etc. in improving the efficiency of high-precision aviation equipment research and development and reducing research and development costs, as well as the advantages of the "top-down design, bottom-up integration" digital product development method. In the future, virtual experiments and tests based on full digital prototypes will become possible.
Professor Lu Jianfeng of Nanjing University of Science and Technology pointed out in his sharing of "Discussion on Credibility Assessment Technology of Digital Twin Systems" that the deep integration of digital twin technology with supporting technologies such as artificial intelligence, cloud computing, and the Internet of Things is promoting the formation of a new paradigm for equipment development and application. High-fidelity modeling and high-reliability simulation are the key to promoting the application of digital twin systems. The evaluation criteria for digital twin models with eight dimensions, including effectiveness, versatility, efficiency, intuitiveness, connectivity, integrity, flexibility, and intelligence, were proposed. Recently, the team focused on the excavator engine power characteristics mechanism model and the whole machine interaction model. By collecting data in the physical and digital domains, an evaluation index tree and evaluation process were constructed to achieve credibility assessment.
2Leading new breakthroughs in industrial simulation, Tianshu iSSMeta2024 base is upgraded and Tianshu industrial simulation FSim1.0 is newly released
Before the product was released, Luo Dongmei, Vice President of iSoftStone and Vice President of the Technology Research Institute, first shared iSoftStone's strategic thinking on AI+digital twin products. She said that iSoftStone has been deeply engaged in digital twin technology for more than 10 years, and has always insisted on maintaining deep integration with cutting-edge technologies. In combination with the development trend of digital twins, she proposed the latest concept of in-depth integration of digital twin technology with industry: 1. Digital twins will definitely shift to precise, accurate, and scientific computing; 2. The interaction mode of digital twin technology will change from a single to a multi-modal interactive feedback mode; 3. Digital twin applications will change from traditional visual and controllable application capabilities to multi-domain cross-scientific computing, optimization, and decision-making applications. At the same time, based on the actual needs of customers, iSoftStone has fully upgraded the six major technical links of digital twins with AI as the core. In the longer term in the future, Tianshu's ecological capability drive will be fully based on the industrial simulation engine, and will be integrated with more mechanism science models to continue to provide customers with higher-value applications. In terms of products, iSoftStone Digital Twin fully embraces AI, and uses the 5A concept (accurate modeling, agile simulation, adaptive optimization, enhanced collaboration, and autonomous decision-making) to fully drive the improvement of digital twin simulation scientific computing capabilities and the interaction, understanding, reasoning, and cognition capabilities of spatial intelligence to solve core issues such as accurate mapping, accurate calculation, interactive feedback, decision-making, and intervention of digital twins. In this release, the Tianshu iSSMeta-aPaaS base was significantly upgraded, and the Tianshu FSim process simulation platform was newly released. In addition, the latest achievements and progress of the Tianhui embodied intelligent composite robot platform were also demonstrated.
Then, witnessed by the guests, Ning Zhenbo, former chief consultant of China Aviation Industry Information Technology Center and independent director of China Shipbuilding, Yao Wei, director of the Industry-Education Integration Office of Jiangsu Vocational and Technical College of Economics and Trade, Liu Huifu , CTO of iSoftStone , and Luo Dongmei, vice president of iSoftStone and deputy dean of the Technology Research Institute, jointly lit up the launch ceremony of Tianshu iSSMeta2024 products.
Yuan Zhenjie, chief architect of Softcom Tianshu Research Institute, gave an in-depth interpretation of Softcom Tianshu products. He said that the major upgrade of Tianshu iSSMeta2024 is mainly reflected in the outstanding innovative integration characteristics of the product. By deeply integrating AI engines, multimodal large models, twin intelligent agents and intelligent technology frameworks, it has created a model of autonomous and controllable industrial twin simulation software. Among them, the upgrade and iteration of the digital twin base platform aPaaS, through the breakthrough application of progressive automatic modeling technology, only a small number of photos are needed to generate a three-dimensional model, and the rendering capability is greatly improved by 10 times, thus bringing users a low-cost and high-efficiency modeling tool-digital twin base editor. The newly launched Tianshu FSim industrial process simulation software V1.0 is a new process simulation engine based on the core technology research of industrial mechanism model analysis and full-process simulation. It covers core functions such as virtual production line construction, virtual product editing, configuration and calculation, mechanism model integration, twin construction and industrial process optimization. It provides stable and reliable software support for the needs of virtual factory production planning, production process optimization, and capacity resource planning. Next, iSoftStone will continue to deepen the field of digital simulation factory and production simulation, and continue to deepen the deep integration and application of AI and twin simulation in intelligent software architecture and product system, and strive to consolidate the foundation of the full-chain and all-round base platform of industrial manufacturing.
