Abstract

Nonferrous metal industry is the foundation of China's substantial economy and plays a key role in national economy and defense construction. Industrial software is crucial for the high-quality development of the nonferrous metal industry and is associated with the in-depth implementation of national software development strategies. Currently, the industrial software development in the nonferrous metal industry is significantly restricted by the lack of knowledge models. Hence, we propose a method for constructing an intelligent model library for the nonferrous metal industry. Considering meta-model-driven engineering, we define the nonferrous metallurgical meta-model and its attributes, and propose a meta-modeling method based on the MODELING architecture. Additionally, we design an overall architecture for the intelligent model library based on industrial Internet, an agile modeldevelopment environment integrating multiple languages, and a meta-model encapsulation system based on multi-scenario black-box reuse. Moreover, a meta-model full lifecycle management platform is constructed based on a five-layer two-dimension classification standard and the domain knowledge graph. The intelligent model library for the nonferrous metal industry is developed based on the long-term accumulation of nonferrous metallurgy process mechanism, operating experiences, and intelligent methods. The good role of intelligent model library in improving the intelligent level in engineering applications is presented through the application of two typical nonferrous metallurgical scenarios. The intelligent model library of the nonferrous metal industry provides a core knowledge support for the development of industrial software and plays a fundamental role in promoting smart manufacturing and strengthening the nonferrous metal industry.
