Sustainability Assessment of Intelligent Manufacturing Supported by Digital Twin

Abstract

As a major challenge and opportunity for traditional manufacturing, intelligent manufacturing is facing the needs of sustainable development in future. Sustainability assessment undoubtedly plays a pivotal role for future development of intelligent manufacturing. Aiming at this, the paper presents the digital twin driven information architecture of sustainability assessment oriented for dynamic evolution under the whole life cycle based on the classic digital twin mapping system. The sustainability assessment method segment of the architecture includes indicator system building, indicator value determination, indicator importance degree determination and intelligent manufacturing project assessing. A novel approach for treating the ambiguity of expert' judgment in indicator value determination by introducing trapezoidal fuzzy number into analytic hierarchy process is proposed, while the complexity of the influence relationship among the indicators is processed by the integration of complex networks modeling and PROMETHEE II for the indicator importance degree determination. A two-stage evidence combination model based on evidence theory is built for intelligent manufacturing project assessing lastly. The presented digital-twin-driven information architecture and the sustainability assessment method is tested and validated on a study of sustainability assessment of 8 intelligent manufacturing projects of an air conditioning enterprise. The results of the presented method were validated by comparing them with the results of the fuzzy and rough extension of the PROMETHEE II, TOPSIS and VIKOR methods, indicator importance degree determining method by entropy and indicator value determining method by accurate expert scoring.

Design of Digital and Intelligent Financial Decision Support System Based on Artificial Intelligence

“…For a long time, the construction of a financial decision support system has been the concern of scholars. The financial decision support system realizes scientific and effective financial decision-making by comprehensively managing the upstream and downstream financial information of the enterprise, integrating the actual financial situation of the enterprise in the whole process, and integrating internal and external information [ 1 – 3 ]. In recent years, with the vigorous development of computer technology, the concepts of digitization and intelligence have emerged in the management information system [ 4 ], [ 5 ].…”

Research on Toy Design for Special Children Based on Sensory Integration Training, D-S Theory, and Extenics: Taking Physical Toys for ADHD Children as an Example

“…First, a D-S theoretical discrimination framework [16][17][18] for physical toy design scheme evaluation is established as Θ � θ 1 , θ 2 , . .…”

“…It can be seen that extension analysis can deal with the incompatibility in evaluation and provides a new way for thing classification and pattern recognition. e Dempster Shafer theory (D-S theory) [16][17][18] can directly express uncertainty and provides an effective method for the expression and synthesis of uncertain information, but its evidence is mainly obtained through expert knowledge and experience, which is highly subjective. Extension analysis can effectively transform the contradictory problems existing in things into compatible ones, so as to reduce the conflict between various evidences and optimize the results of evidence fusion to the greatest extent.…”

Coal Mine Safety Evaluation Based on Machine Learning: A BP Neural Network Model

“…On the other hand, in recent years, with the continuous changes in the internal and external environment faced by coal enterprises and the continuous deepening of the reform of large and medium-sized stateowned enterprises, the operating conditions of coal enterprises have fluctuated. On the whole, they are in the process of continuous adaptation and re-adaptation, organization and reorganization, and innovation and re-innovation [8][9][10][11]. Coal resources are nonrenewable resources.…”
