Next-generation 5G fusion-based intelligent health-monitoring platform for ethylene cracking furnace tube

Abstract

This study aimed to develop a 5G + "mixed computing" + deep learning-based next-generation intelligent health-monitoring platform for an ethylene cracking furnace tube based on 5G communication technology, with the goal of improving the health management level of the key component of ethylene production, that is, the cracking furnace tube, and focusing on the key common technical difficulties of ethylene production of tube outer-surface temperature sensing and tube slagging diagnosis. It also integrated the edge-fog-cloud "mixed computing" technology and deep learning technology in artificial intelligence, which had a higher degree in the research and development of automation and intelligence, and was more versatile in an industrial environment. The platform included a 5G-based tube intelligent temperature-measuring device, a 5G-based intelligent peep door gearing, a 5G-based edge-fog-cloud collaboration mechanism, and a mixed deep learning-related application. The platform enhanced the automation and intelligence of the enterprise, which could not only promote the quality and efficiency of the enterprise but also protect the safe operation of the cracking furnace device and lead the technological progress and transformation and upgrading of the industry through the application.
