In shipbuilding, thin-plate production lines are
characterized by complex processes, diverse equipment, and heterogeneous data
sources. Traditional digital twin modeling relies heavily on manually defined
interfaces and attributes, resulting in low efficiency and limited consistency.
This paper proposes a generative digital twin modeling method tailored for
thin-plate production lines. The method constructs five core
ontologies—covering process units, equipment, attributes, sensing-control
units, and functional behaviors—to establish a unified semantic structure.
Furthermore, a mapping mechanism from ontology to the digital twins definition language
(DTDL) is designed to enable standardized representation of domain knowledge. A
large language model is then introduced to leverage its semantic understanding
and generative capabilities, automatically transforming natural language
descriptions into structured models compliant with the DTDL v3 specification.
Semantic consistency validation is performed to ensure the correctness of model
logic and constraints. Experimental results demonstrate that, compared with
manual approaches, the proposed method improves modeling efficiency, semantic
accuracy, and attribute coverage by approximately 79.6%, 9.4%, and 28.5%, respectively—significantly
enhancing the automation and standardization of digital twin modeling.
