Thermal power forging is an important component in thermal power generation equipment, its quality and performance directly affect the safety and efficiency of thermal power generation equipment. With the adjustment of energy structure and the growth of power demand, the manufacturing of thermal power forgings is facing higher requirements and challenges. In order to improve the production efficiency and quality of thermal power forgings and reduce the production cost, intelligent transformation has become an effective means.

Background and significance of intelligent transformation
The traditional production process of thermal power forgings mainly includes raw material preparation, forging, heat treatment, machining and other links. In the production process, it is necessary to rely on manual operation and empirical judgment to control production parameters and product quality. However, with the intensification of market competition and the improvement of users’ requirements for product quality, the traditional process has been unable to meet the production needs. In addition, there are also problems of large errors and low efficiency in manual operation, which affect the quality of products and production efficiency.
Intelligent transformation refers to the transformation and upgrading of traditional production processes through the introduction of advanced automation, information and digital technologies to achieve intelligent production processes. Through intelligent transformation, real-time monitoring and precise control of the production process can be achieved, improving production efficiency and product quality, and reducing production costs. At the same time, intelligent transformation can also reduce manual intervention and wrong operation, reduce the labor intensity of workers and safety risks.
