This paper introduces a novel Bi-Level Programming Model for Storage Chip Manufacturing (BLPM-SCM) aimed at optimizing the coordination between these two stages. The upper-level model focuses on minimizing the time it takes to complete wafer production, while the lower-level model seeks to reduce the number of acid-etching tanks used, thereby balancing production efficiency with resource utilization. To address the inherent complexity of the bi-level model, we present a hybrid meta-heuristic algorithm that combines Proximal Policy Optimization (PPO) with a Population-based Variable Neighborhood Search (PVNS) method. The PPO-PVNS algorithm enhances the intensification phase by adaptively selecting shaking and local search strategies, while PVNS supports the diversification phase, ensuring comprehensive exploration of the search space through iterative updates of the solution population. Extensive numerical experiments demonstrate the algorithm's superior performance and generalization capabilities in optimizing the manufacturing process. It significantly improves the coordination between the photo-etching and acid-etching stages, achieving dual optimization of energy consumption and environmental benefits.

Nevertheless, the current model-driven method often faces challenges in balancing computational efficiency with accuracy, and the existing data-driven models struggle to produce explainable results from the physics perspectives since insufficient theoretical principles are incorporated into the model training. Additionally, the existing physics-informed learning architecture fails to achieve a gradient-balanced training, resulting from the significant magnitude difference in outputs and multiple loss terms. Consequently, a Multi-Stage Knowledge-Enhanced Physics-Informed Neural Network (MS-KE-PINN) is proposed for the hydraulic transient simulation of multi-product pipelines. To enforce the neural network producing simulation results with high consistency to physical laws, the governing equations, boundary, and initial condition are incorporated into the training process for an efficient mesh-free simulation. Then, considering that the significant magnitude difference between outputs can easily lead to deficient performance in the gradient descent, the magnitude conversion on the outputs and the equivalent conversion of the governing equations are implemented to enhance the training effect of the neural network. Subsequently, to tackle the imbalanced gradient of multiple loss terms with fixed weights, a multi-stage hierarchical training strategy is designed to improve the approximation capacity of the neural network. Numerical simulation cases demonstrate a better approximation function of the proposed model than the state-of-art models, while the mean absolute percentage errors yielded by MS-KE-PINN are reduced by 77.4 %, 88.7 %, and 87.8 % in three simulation operation conditions for pressure prediction. Furthermore, experimental investigations from a real-world multi-product pipeline suggest that the proposed model can still draw accurate simulation results even under complex and dynamic hydraulic transient scenarios in practice, with root mean squared errors reduced by 94.8 % and 80 % than that of the physics-informed neural network. To this end, the proposed model can conduct accurate and effective hydraulic transient analysis, thus ensuring the safe operation of the pipeline.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":55975,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Industrial Information Integration","volume":"42 ","pages":"Article 100726"},"PeriodicalIF":10.4,"publicationDate":"2024-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142653225","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}

In the first step of the proposed method, the set of reliable communications in the network is identified to establish connections between IoT objects and fog computing resources in the form of a tree structure. Then, in the second step, a model based on cooperative game theory and the cost function is used to determine the optimal computing resources in the fog layer for outsourcing the processing tasks of IoT objects. In EDLIoT, active IoT objects perform computation in the fog layer instead of locally, to conserve energy. This is done so that IoT objects, if possible, discover the most suitable processing resources in the fog based on characteristics such as energy consumption, delay, and processing power of the computing resource. The efficiency of the proposed method has been evaluated in a simulated environment, and the results have been compared with those of previous algorithms.

However, current research and products on the market cannot consolidate this process. Most existing solutions either require experts to visually identify pests or cannot automatically assess pest levels and make decisions based on detection results. To make the process from pest identification to pest management decision making more automated and intelligent, we propose an end-to-end integrated pest management solution that uses deep learning for semi-automated pest detection and an expert system for pest management decision making. Specifically, a low computational cost sampling point generation algorithm is proposed to enable mobile devices to generate uniformly distributed sampling points in irregularly shaped fields. We build a pest detection model based on YoloX and use Pytorch Mobile to deploy it on mobile phones, allowing users to detect pests offline. We develop a standardised sampling specification and a mobile application to guide users to take photos that allow pest population density to be calculated. A rule-based expert system is established to derive pest management thresholds from prior agricultural knowledge and make decisions based on pest detection results. We also propose a human-in-the-loop algorithm to continuously track and update the validity of the thresholds in the expert system. The mean average precision of the pest detection model is 58.17% for 97 classes, 75.29% for 2 classes, and 57.33% for 11 classes on three pest datasets, respectively.

Accurate characterization is fundamental to develop digital twins and advanced control strategies aimed at their active prediction and compensation. To properly assess the servomechanisms behavior and elaborate high-fidelity virtual models, instrumented test rigs have been proposed which can replicate the time-varying working conditions encountered in real industrial environments.
