To this end, this paper proposes a distributed online meta-learning multi-agent collaboration framework based on hybrid parallelism, which meets the needs of synchronous collaboration and asynchronous collaboration in different stages of personalization. To implement this framework, we designed two key algorithms. First, an agent clustering algorithm based on graph theory groups similar agents. Synchronous collaboration within the group satisfies the manufacturing time constraint, while asynchronous collaboration among groups ensures decision consistency. Second, a multi-agent online meta-learning algorithm with gradient tracking monitors global gradients through limited communications, accelerating rapid adaptation to personalization tasks. Finally, we validated our approach through experimental testing on a personalized production platform. The results underscore the effectiveness of the proposed multi-agent collaboration mechanism and implementation algorithms, providing a new solution for multi-agent collaboration based on artificial intelligence in mass personalization environments.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":55975,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Industrial Information Integration","volume":"46 ","pages":"Article 100852"},"PeriodicalIF":10.4,"publicationDate":"2025-04-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143854511","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study proposes a novel framework that combines IoT sensor networks, deep learning algorithms, and business intelligence to optimize production processes in organic tomato processing. By employing a Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) model, the framework effectively predicts sales, manages raw material procurement and enhances logistics based on real-time data inputs.

A continuous-time Koopman model is obtained by mapping the system states, including water levels and discharges, from the original state space to a raised-dimensional observation space. An autoencoder architecture is developed to approximate the mapping to the raised-dimensional space. Specifically, we established a numerical connection between the Koopman model and the S-V equations, and introduced a physics-informed loss function.

In this paper, we address the issue of viability for the circular pomegranate supply chain (SC) under pest spread risk and demand uncertainty. To realize the circular economy concept, we employ the co-pyrolysis method, which links the fruit and bio-product SC networks. We implement constraints related to water consumption and greenhouse gas emissions for sustainability considerations. Furthermore, we introduce a predetermined responsiveness level target for the SC viability.
