Abstract

Bill of material (BOM), as the core data in the complete life cycle management of complex products, is the primary data that supports the deep integration of intelligent and information technology of complex products. They are aiming at the characteristics of high complexity, solid dynamics, and many uncertain factors in the BOM reconstruction process of complex products. The digital twin technology is introduced into the BOM reconstruction process, and the BOM consistency reconstruction mechanism of complex products is constructed. The sequence process of BOM data flow is analyzed. The focus is on the reconstruction process of engineering BOM (EBOM), process BOM (PBOM), manufacturing BOM (MBOM), and maintenance BOM (WBOM) based on digital twin. The rationality of the constructed BOM is verified by establishing a virtual model, which promotes continuous optimization and improvement of the BOM. This paper also discusses the key technologies of data dynamic perception, digital threading, simulation modeling decoupling, and coupling in the process of BOM reconstruction. Finally, the feasibility of the proposed method is verified by combining the BOM reconstruction process of an enterprise bogie and the construction of the bogie twin system, which provides a reference for improving the accuracy, integrity, and consistency of the BOM reconstruction process of complex products.
