Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI) offers a promising avenue for developing sustainable reconfigurable manufacturing systems. Although there has been significant progress in these research areas, there seem to be no studies devoted to exploring and evaluating AI techniques for such systems. To address this gap, the current study aims to present a deliberation on the subject matter, with a particular focus on assessing AI techniques. For this purpose, an AI-enabled methodological approach is developed in Python, integrating fuzzy logic to effectively navigate the uncertainties inherent in evaluating the performance of techniques. The incorporation of sensitivity analysis further enables a thorough evaluation of how input variations impact decision-making outcomes. To conduct the assessment, this study provides an AI-powered decision-making application using large language models in the field of natural language processing, which has emerged as an influential branch of artificial intelligence. The findings reveal that machine learning and big data analytics as well as fuzzy logic and programming stand out as the most promising AI techniques for sustainable reconfigurable manufacturing systems. The application confirms that using fuzzy logic programming in Python as the computational foundation significantly enhances precision, efficiency, and execution time, offering critical insights that enable more timely and informed decision-making in the field. Thus, this study not only addresses a critical gap in the literature but also offers an AI-driven approach to support complex decision-making processes1 .
