In response to the growing demand for automation in aerospace harness manufacturing, this study proposes a digital twin-based intelligent monitoring system for robotic wiring operations. The system integrates a seven-degree-of-freedom robotic platform with an adaptive servo gripper and employs a five-dimensional digital twin framework to synchronize physical and virtual entities. Key innovations include a coordinated motion model for minimizing joint displacement, a particle-swarm-optimized backpropagation neural network (PSO-BPNN) for adaptive gripping based on wire characteristics, and a virtual-physical closed-loop interaction strategy covering the entire wiring process. Methodologically, the system enables motion planning, quality prediction, and remote monitoring through Unity3D visualization, SQL-driven data processing, and real-time mapping. The experimental results demonstrate that the system can stably and efficiently complete complex wiring tasks with 1:1 trajectory reproduction. Moreover, the PSO-BPNN model significantly reduces prediction error compared to standard BPNN methods. The results confirm the system's capability to ensure precise wire placement, enhance operational efficiency, and reduce error risks. This work offers a practical and intelligent solution for aerospace harness production and shows strong potential for extension to multi-robot collaboration and full production line scheduling.
