Sustainability assessment models (SAM) play a vital role in evaluating and improving the environmental, economic, and social impacts of manufacturing organisations. To develop a robust sustainability assessment model, it is important to understand how these models are formalised and validated. Consequently, discovering the relationships, whether implicit or explicit, among the formalisation and validation tools can be of value. To this end, the present work uses Formal Concept Analysis, as a clustering tool, to uncover the hidden relationships among several SAM formalisation and validation tools. The findings, in terms of association rules, reveal common pairings of formalisation and validation tools. In addition, a Decision Support System (DSS) has been developed to further assist the researchers in the sustainability assessment field to identify complementary formalisation and validation tools. The DSS takes a formalisation tool as input and, leveraging the derived association rules, provides ranked recommendations for additional complementary formalisation and validation tools. This research contributes to the existing literature by bridging the gap in understanding the interactions among SAM formalisation and validation tools, ultimately leading to more reliable and effective sustainability assessments in manufacturing.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":55975,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Industrial Information Integration","volume":"48 ","pages":"Article 100999"},"PeriodicalIF":10.4,"publicationDate":"2025-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145383756","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}

Erosion, caused by complex gas–solid interactions, is a typical degradation mechanism that affects the service life and operational stability of components such as elbows in syngas pipelines. However, existing monitoring and prediction methods often have limited spatiotemporal resolution, poor robustness, and weak real-time capability. These limitations make it difficult to accurately capture and predict erosion evolution under fluctuating operating conditions. To overcome these challenges, this study develops a digital twin–based framework for erosion monitoring, forecasting, and risk assessment (DT-FEMR) that combines physical constraints with data-driven modeling. The framework establishes a complete process from physical sensing to predictive maintenance. It consists of three core modules for erosion field reconstruction, future condition prediction, and lifetime evaluation. Through this hybrid physics–data design, DT-FEMR enables real-time visualization of erosion morphology, prediction of future gas velocity trends, and probabilistic assessment of remaining life and risk levels. The proposed framework offers a scalable and transferable approach for integrating multi-source data, physical simulations, and machine learning models. It enhances the interpretability, adaptability, and reliability of erosion analysis, providing a foundation for intelligent monitoring and predictive maintenance of critical industrial equipment.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":55975,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Industrial Information Integration","volume":"48 ","pages":"Article 101006"},"PeriodicalIF":10.4,"publicationDate":"2025-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145442129","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}

Although several review studies exist in this field, each has been confined to a limited scope, focusing on specific data types, data collection methods, or AI-based techniques. To date, no comprehensive review has been published that encompasses all data types, data collection methods, and AI-based approaches to assess prior research holistically. This study aims to address this critical gap by covering both passenger and freight railway transport systems. Firstly, the available databases used for AI applications in railway track inspection and maintenance were categorized and reviewed, distinguishing between peer-reviewed and non-peer-reviewed sources. Secondly, this review introduces a novel three-level classification framework, based on data acquisition method (including track response methods, on-board data approaches, and remote data methods), target railway track component or feature, and input data type, to systematically organize and analyze 567 studies the field published between 2005 and 2025. The findings reveal that the majority of research in this field (88 %) is concentrated on on-board data methods. Approximately 90 % of these studies focus on railway track components, specifically their identification or damage detection. Among the track components, rails and fastening systems, being both critical and vulnerable, have been the primary focus of most research efforts. Image data emerges as the most prevalent and widely utilized data type in on-board data approaches for all railway track components. An in-depth gap analysis was conducted on the literature to identify the limitations of previous studies and outline a roadmap for future research and open directions from multiple perspectives. A comprehensive review of the literature indicates a pressing need for the development of AI-based methods capable of processing multiple data types simultaneously to identify both internal and external damages across all railway track components. The limited number of studies addressing the integration of multiple data types underscores the significant research opportunities in this area. This review not only synthesizes AI-based methods for railway track monitoring and maintenance but also highlights their role in advancing industrial information integration by enabling scalable and intelligent fusion of multi-source data for real-time decision-making.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":55975,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Industrial Information Integration","volume":"48 ","pages":"Article 101005"},"PeriodicalIF":10.4,"publicationDate":"2025-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145424060","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}

These components serve as inputs to a parallel fuzzy inference mechanism for dynamic authority distribution. A human–machine mutual-adaptation robust control strategy is then developed based on a cybernetic driver model with coordinated visual-haptic feedback. Within an integrated driver-vehicle-road framework, a multiobjective robust tube model predictive controller is designed to jointly optimize conflict mitigation and path-tracking performance. Driver-in-the-loop experiments conducted on a four-degree-of-freedom motion platform demonstrate that the proposed framework effectively reduces human–machine conflict while enhancing vehicle stability and tracking accuracy. The results highlight the utility of multimodal compliance fusion as an embodied intelligence mechanism for adaptive shared control and suggest its broader applicability to complex human-machine systems.

The framework supports dynamic simulation and predictive maintenance while assisting decision-making by integrating real-time sensor data with AI-powered analytics. Experimental evaluation demonstrates consistent improvements, including approximately 20 % higher operational performance and a 15 % reduction in resource consumption, along with observable gains in decision-making accuracy and process efficiency compared with conventional IoT-based approaches. The framework also maintains stable operation under uncertainty, confirming its adaptability and reliability in dynamic industrial environments. A Monte Carlo-based sensitivity analysis was conducted under varied industrial workloads and uncertainty conditions to validate the robustness and flexibility of the proposed system. Comparative evaluations against AI-only and rule-based models indicate stronger adaptability and awareness of complex system interactions when using agent-based approaches.

To address these issues, this study introduces a novel LLM-based AI agent method integrating virtual model development, diagnosis, and calibration throughout the entire lifecycle in BDTs. During implementation, domain-specific AI agent is developed by knowledge engineering (prompt information, basic information, tool information, and building information) to avoid hallucinations. Then, different toolkits are used to automatically develop virtual models using the MLP algorithm, detect and diagnose faults through comparing the residual with threshold based on a period of time, and perform Bayesian in-situ calibration to ensure accuracy. Finally, the multi-level interpretable results are generated. A case study on a building HVAC system demonstrates the effectiveness of this method: the virtual models of return temperature of chilled water and supply air temperature achieve high accuracy with RMSE of 0.17 °C and 0.21 °C, faults are diagnosed with 10 consecutive residuals greater than the threshold of 1.16 °C, and calibration successfully reduces RMSE from 1.04 °C to 0.30 °C. Importantly, the LLM-based AI agent not only executes all stages with user prompts but also generates interpretable reports, reducing reliance on expert knowledge.
