To model intrapersonal uncertainty, interpersonal uncertainty and randomness in decision making assessments, this research study proposes a novel approach by integrating linear and non-linear type of fuzzy numbers with cloud model theory using novel technique of computing entropy of these fuzzy numbers. A novel mathematical model known as cloud fuzzy numbers is introduced using the concepts of fuzzy numbers and cloud theory. The self-evaluated relative weights of experts are computed using a non-linear optimization method which is based on maximum deviation method and Lagrange multipliers of cloud fuzzy numbers. The new cloud fuzzy numbers are then combined with CODAS (combinative distance based assessment) approach that is based on the largest Euclidean and Taxicab distances for the selection of suitable criteria. Firstly, the linguistics evaluations are converted into the fuzzy numbers and then cloud fuzzy numbers using formulae of expectation and entropy ensuring that the obtained interval cloud values follows a normal distribution. Secondly, the cloud fuzzy weighted arithmetic averaging operator is used to aggregate cloud fuzzy numbers using the self-evaluated fuzzy weights Thirdly, the assessment score is determined to rank the alternatives by computing the distance between normalized weighted matrix and the negative ideal solution. Finally, a case study is discussed for the selection of best renewable energy resource in Turkey to elaborate the significance of the proposed research. The convergence and accuracy of the proposed model is proved with certain mathematical and theoretical results.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":55975,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Industrial Information Integration","volume":"42 ","pages":"Article 100700"},"PeriodicalIF":10.4,"publicationDate":"2024-10-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142422270","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}

The Role-Based Collaboration (RBC) Environments-Classes, Agents, Roles, Groups, and Objects (E-CARGO) model is introduced to comprehensively manage MEC servers and user computation tasks in edge network environments, thereby improving the effectiveness and performance of task offloading in smart manufacturing systems. To begin with, latency and energy consumption are important indicators for evaluating the offloading effect. A pre-allocation algorithm based on user latency tolerance is proposed to dynamically adjust the latency-energy consumption weighting factor to optimize system resource allocation for real-time adjustment of offloading decisions. Second, the Group Role Assignment of Agent Role Conflicts (GRACAR) model based on E-CARGO is extended, along with a dynamic weighting of the GRACAR (GRACAR-DW) model and formal modeling. By introducing resource contention constraints, the resource contention caused by excessive task data offloading to the same MEC server is proactively mitigated. Finally, a Gurobi solution based on Mixed-Integer Linear Programming (MILP) is developed to help validate and synthesize the proposed model.

This converts the production processes of ETO companies into one-of-a-kind processes (OKP) type, where production planning and control (PPC) activities are extremely complex. The cause of this complexity is the little or no standardization between the different production cycles that must be executed, as each cycle is of the OKP type. In addition, Intra-logistics operations represent a key factor in ETO PPC, since each piece of work-in-process or sub-assembly can be extremely large, heavy or complicated of handling. Then, ETO systems involve heterogenous production and intra-logistics processes, where the associated information is fragmented and diverse. This hampers a streamline information processing and operations management. To overcome all these issues, a Digital Twin (DT) approach is proposed.

To solve interoperability and information access without overloading data-entry tasks novel information structures are designed, along with the logical processes that support them.

Despite these advancements, inherent uncertainties within assembly processes, the integration of human-robot partnerships, and the dynamic nature of market demands pose significant challenges to traditional assembly methods. To address these challenges, this research introduces a novel modelling approach through a mixed-flow assembly line balancing problem designed for uncertain environments, fostering collaboration between humans and robots.

Furthermore, the potential of pairing human operators of different abilities with robots of different models for collaborative tasks at workstations was explored, enhancing flexibility and adaptability in the assembly line. In response to the complexity of the problem, this research proposes an efficient multiobjective discrete bees algorithm that incorporates innovative operators and search strategies.
