A mixed-methods design gathered qualitative and quantitative data. One hundred and seven (107) experts purposively selected were engaged in exploring the applicability of I4.0 technologies. IBM SPSS 26 and AMOS 23 software analysed the gathered data. The analysis revealed six pillars of I4.0 technologies applicable for monitoring O&G pipelines. Those pillars included autonomous robots, augmented reality, additive manufacturing, the Internet of Things, cloud computing and artificial intelligence. The O&G pipeline's maturity level was 3.1, indicating that the industry has begun integrating some I4.0 technologies into pipeline monitoring or leakage detection. Strategies obtained through experts' responses and 80–20 % analysis that tackle technological, financial, regulatory, and psychological constraints were proposed to enhance I4.0ʼs full adoption in PLM. Strategies developed were building international partnerships, building international cooperation, building a workforce, creating digital platforms, promoting a friendly industry culture and state support for investors. The study only identified applicable I4.0 technologies for pipeline monitoring or leakage detection.

However, the increased pervasiveness, reduced human involvement, resource-constrained nature of underlying IoT devices, dynamic and shared spectrum of 4G/5G communication, and reliance on the cloud for outsourced massive storage and computation bring novel security challenges and concerns.

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.

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.
