An Explainable Reconfiguration-Based Optimization Algorithm for Industrial and Reliability-Redundancy Allocation Problems

Dikshit Chauhan, Nitin Gupta, Anupam Yadav

Industrial and reliability optimization problems often involve complex constraints and require efficient, interpretable solutions. This paper presents AI-AEFA, an advanced parameter reconfiguration-based metaheuristic algorithm designed to address large-scale industrial and reliability-redundancy allocation problems. AI-AEFA enhances search space exploration and convergence efficiency through a novel log-sigmoid-based parameter adaptation and chaotic mapping mechanism. The algorithm is validated across twenty-eight IEEE CEC 2017 constrained benchmark problems, fifteen large-scale industrial optimization problems, and seven reliability-redundancy allocation problems, consistently outperforming state-of-the-art optimization techniques in terms of feasibility, computational efficiency, and convergence speed. The additional key contribution of this work is the integration of SHAP (Shapley Additive Explanations) to enhance the interpretability of AI-AEFA, providing insights into the impact of key parameters such as Coulomb's constant, charge, acceleration, and electrostatic force. This explainability feature enables a deeper understanding of decision-making within the AI-AEFA framework during the optimization processes. The findings confirm AI-AEFA as a robust, scalable, and interpretable optimization tool with significant real-world applications.

AutoIAD: Manager-Driven Multi-Agent Collaboration for Automated Industrial Anomaly Detection

Dongwei Ji, Bingzhang Hu, Yi Zhou

Industrial anomaly detection (IAD) is critical for manufacturing quality control, but conventionally requires significant manual effort for various application scenarios. This paper introduces AutoIAD, a multi-agent collaboration framework, specifically designed for end-to-end automated development of industrial visual anomaly detection. AutoIAD leverages a Manager-Driven central agent to orchestrate specialized sub-agents (including Data Preparation, Data Loader, Model Designer, Trainer) and integrates a domain-specific knowledge base, which intelligently handles the entire pipeline using raw industrial image data to develop a trained anomaly detection model. We construct a comprehensive benchmark using MVTec AD datasets to evaluate AutoIAD across various LLM backends. Extensive experiments demonstrate that AutoIAD significantly outperforms existing general-purpose agentic collaboration frameworks and traditional AutoML frameworks in task completion rate and model performance (AUROC), while effectively mitigating issues like hallucination through iterative refinement. Ablation studies further confirm the crucial roles of the Manager central agent and the domain knowledge base module in producing robust and high-quality IAD solutions.

OnePiece: Bringing Context Engineering and Reasoning to Industrial Cascade Ranking System

Sunhao Dai, Jiakai Tang, Jiahua Wu et al.

Despite the growing interest in replicating the scaled success of large language models (LLMs) in industrial search and recommender systems, most existing industrial efforts remain limited to transplanting Transformer architectures, which bring only incremental improvements over strong Deep Learning Recommendation Models (DLRMs). From a first principle perspective, the breakthroughs of LLMs stem not only from their architectures but also from two complementary mechanisms: context engineering, which enriches raw input queries with contextual cues to better elicit model capabilities, and multi-step reasoning, which iteratively refines model outputs through intermediate reasoning paths. However, these two mechanisms and their potential to unlock substantial improvements remain largely underexplored in industrial ranking systems. In this paper, we propose OnePiece, a unified framework that seamlessly integrates LLM-style context engineering and reasoning into both retrieval and ranking models of industrial cascaded pipelines. OnePiece is built on a pure Transformer backbone and further introduces three key innovations: (1) structured context engineering, which augments interaction history with preference and scenario signals and unifies them into a structured tokenized input sequence for both retrieval and ranking; (2) block-wise latent reasoning, which equips the model with multi-step refinement of representations and scales reasoning bandwidth via block size; (3) progressive multi-task training, which leverages user feedback chains to effectively supervise reasoning steps during training. OnePiece has been deployed in the main personalized search scenario of Shopee and achieves consistent online gains across different key business metrics, including over $+2\%$ GMV/UU and a $+2.90\%$ increase in advertising revenue.

Bridging Research and Practice in Simulation-based Testing of Industrial Robot Navigation Systems

Sajad Khatiri, Francisco Eli Vina Barrientos, Maximilian Wulf et al.

Ensuring robust robotic navigation in dynamic environments is a key challenge, as traditional testing methods often struggle to cover the full spectrum of operational requirements. This paper presents the industrial adoption of Surrealist, a simulation-based test generation framework originally for UAVs, now applied to the ANYmal quadrupedal robot for industrial inspection. Our method uses a search-based algorithm to automatically generate challenging obstacle avoidance scenarios, uncovering failures often missed by manual testing. In a pilot phase, generated test suites revealed critical weaknesses in one experimental algorithm (40.3% success rate) and served as an effective benchmark to prove the superior robustness of another (71.2% success rate). The framework was then integrated into the ANYbotics workflow for a six-month industrial evaluation, where it was used to test five proprietary algorithms. A formal survey confirmed its value, showing it enhances the development process, uncovers critical failures, provides objective benchmarks, and strengthens the overall verification pipeline.

Towards Open-Vocabulary Industrial Defect Understanding with a Large-Scale Multimodal Dataset

TsaiChing Ni, ZhenQi Chen, YuanFu Yang

We present IMDD-1M, the first large-scale Industrial Multimodal Defect Dataset comprising 1,000,000 aligned image-text pairs, designed to advance multimodal learning for manufacturing and quality inspection. IMDD-1M contains high-resolution real-world defects spanning over 60 material categories and more than 400 defect types, each accompanied by expert-verified annotations and fine-grained textual descriptions detailing defect location, severity, and contextual attributes. This dataset enables a wide spectrum of applications, including classification, segmentation, retrieval, captioning, and generative modeling. Building upon IMDD-1M, we train a diffusion-based vision-language foundation model from scratch, specifically tailored for industrial scenarios. The model serves as a generalizable foundation that can be efficiently adapted to specialized domains through lightweight fine-tuning. With less than 5% of the task-specific data required by dedicated expert models, it achieves comparable performance, highlighting the potential of data-efficient foundation model adaptation for industrial inspection and generation, paving the way for scalable, domain-adaptive, and knowledge-grounded manufacturing intelligence.

IndusGCC: A Data Benchmark and Evaluation Framework for GUI-Based General Computer Control in Industrial Automation

Xiaoran Yang, Yuyang Du, Kexin Chen et al.

As Industry 4.0 progresses, flexible manufacturing has become a cornerstone of modern industrial systems, with equipment automation playing a pivotal role. However, existing control software for industrial equipment, typically reliant on graphical user interfaces (GUIs) that require human interactions such as mouse clicks or screen touches, poses significant barriers to the adoption of code-based equipment automation. Recently, Large Language Model-based General Computer Control (LLM-GCC) has emerged as a promising approach to automate GUI-based operations. However, industrial settings pose unique challenges, including visually diverse, domain-specific interfaces and mission-critical tasks demanding high precision. This paper introduces IndusGCC, the first dataset and benchmark tailored to LLM-GCC in industrial environments, encompassing 448 real-world tasks across seven domains, from robotic arm control to production line configuration. IndusGCC features multimodal human interaction data with the equipment software, providing robust supervision for GUI-level code generation. Additionally, we propose a novel evaluation framework with functional and structural metrics to assess LLM-generated control scripts. Experimental results on mainstream LLMs demonstrate both the potential of LLM-GCC and the challenges it faces, establishing a strong foundation for future research toward fully automated factories.

Automated Neural Architecture Design for Industrial Defect Detection

Yuxi Liu, Yunfeng Ma, Yi Tang et al.

Industrial surface defect detection (SDD) is critical for ensuring product quality and manufacturing reliability. Due to the diverse shapes and sizes of surface defects, SDD faces two main challenges: intraclass difference and interclass similarity. Existing methods primarily utilize manually designed models, which require extensive trial and error and often struggle to address both challenges effectively. To overcome this, we propose AutoNAD, an automated neural architecture design framework for SDD that jointly searches over convolutions, transformers, and multi-layer perceptrons. This hybrid design enables the model to capture both fine-grained local variations and long-range semantic context, addressing the two key challenges while reducing the cost of manual network design. To support efficient training of such a diverse search space, AutoNAD introduces a cross weight sharing strategy, which accelerates supernet convergence and improves subnet performance. Additionally, a searchable multi-level feature aggregation module (MFAM) is integrated to enhance multi-scale feature learning. Beyond detection accuracy, runtime efficiency is essential for industrial deployment. To this end, AutoNAD incorporates a latency-aware prior to guide the selection of efficient architectures. The effectiveness of AutoNAD is validated on three industrial defect datasets and further applied within a defect imaging and detection platform. Code is available at https://github.com/Yuxi104/AutoNAD.

The in vitro gastrointestinal digestion-associated protein corona of polystyrene nano- and microplastics increases their uptake by human THP-1-derived macrophages

Hugo Brouwer, Mojtaba Porbahaie, Sjef Boeren et al.

Abstract Background Micro- and nanoplastics (MNPs) represent one of the most widespread environmental pollutants of the twenty-first century to which all humans are orally exposed. Upon ingestion, MNPs pass harsh biochemical conditions within the gastrointestinal tract, causing a unique protein corona on the MNP surface. Little is known about the digestion-associated protein corona and its impact on the cellular uptake of MNPs. Here, we systematically studied the influence of gastrointestinal digestion on the cellular uptake of neutral and charged polystyrene MNPs using THP-1-derived macrophages. Results The protein corona composition was quantified using LC‒MS–MS-based proteomics, and the cellular uptake of MNPs was determined using flow cytometry and confocal microscopy. Gastrointestinal digestion resulted in a distinct protein corona on MNPs that was retained in serum-containing cell culture medium. Digestion increased the uptake of uncharged MNPs below 500 nm by 4.0–6.1-fold but did not affect the uptake of larger sized or charged MNPs. Forty proteins showed a good correlation between protein abundance and MNP uptake, including coagulation factors, apolipoproteins and vitronectin. Conclusion This study provides quantitative data on the presence of gastrointestinal proteins on MNPs and relates this to cellular uptake, underpinning the need to include the protein corona in hazard assessment of MNPs.

A Comparative Analysis of Electricity Consumption Flexibility in Different Industrial Plant Configurations

Sebastián Rojas-Innocenti, Enrique Baeyens, Alejandro Martín-Crespo et al.

The increasing integration of renewable energy sources into power systems is intensifying the demand for greater flexibility among industrial electricity consumers. However, operational constraints, production requirements, and market dynamics pose significant challenges to achieving optimal flexibility. This paper presents an enhanced mixed integer linear programming (MILP) model that directly optimizes electricity consumption flexibility in manufacturing plants. Unlike previous approaches, the proposed model determines optimal transactions with both day-ahead and intraday continuous electricity markets, while ensuring production continuity and adhering to plant-specific operational constraints. The methodology is validated through annual simulations of two real world industrial configurations, cement manufacturing and steel production, using 2023 market data. Comparative results highlight that the steel plant achieved average electricity cost savings through flexibility of 0.41 euro/MWh, whereas the cement plant achieved 0.24 euro/MWh, reflecting differences in storage capacities, production rates, and operational flexibility. A comprehensive sensitivity analysis further identifies key parameters affecting flexibility potential, such as the production to demand ratio, storage capacity, and minimum operation periods. The findings offer valuable insights for industrial operators aiming to reduce energy costs, enhance operational flexibility, and support the decarbonization of electricity systems.

The Case for an Industrial Policy Approach to AI Sector of Pakistan for Growth and Autonomy

Atif Hussain, Rana Rizwan

This paper argues for the strategic treatment of artificial intelligence as a key industry within broader industrial policy framework of Pakistan, underscoring the importance of aligning it with national goals such as economic resilience and preservation of autonomy. The paper starts with defining industrial policy as a set of targeted government interventions to shape specific sectors for strategic outcomes and argues for its application to AI in Pakistan due to its huge potential, the risks of unregulated adoption, and prevailing market inefficiencies. The paper conceptualizes AI as a layered ecosystem, comprising foundational infrastructure, core computing, development platforms, and service and product layers, supported by education, government policy, and research and development. The analysis highlights that AI sector of Pakistan is predominantly service oriented, with limited product innovation and dependence on foreign technologies, posing risks to economic independence, national security, and employment. To address these challenges, the paper recommends educational reforms, support for local AI product development, initiatives for indigenous cloud and hardware capabilities, and public-private collaborations on foundational models. Additionally, it advocates for public procurement policies and infrastructure incentives to foster local solutions and reduce reliance on foreign providers. This strategy aims to position Pakistan as a competitive, autonomous player in the global AI ecosystem.

Segmentation of Industrial Burner Flames: A Comparative Study from Traditional Image Processing to Machine and Deep Learning

Steven Landgraf, Markus Hillemann, Moritz Aberle et al.

In many industrial processes, such as power generation, chemical production, and waste management, accurately monitoring industrial burner flame characteristics is crucial for safe and efficient operation. A key step involves separating the flames from the background through binary segmentation. Decades of machine vision research have produced a wide range of possible solutions, from traditional image processing to traditional machine learning and modern deep learning methods. In this work, we present a comparative study of multiple segmentation approaches, namely Global Thresholding, Region Growing, Support Vector Machines, Random Forest, Multilayer Perceptron, U-Net, and DeepLabV3+, that are evaluated on a public benchmark dataset of industrial burner flames. We provide helpful insights and guidance for researchers and practitioners aiming to select an appropriate approach for the binary segmentation of industrial burner flames and beyond. For the highest accuracy, deep learning is the leading approach, while for fast and simple solutions, traditional image processing techniques remain a viable option.

Klever: Verification Framework for Critical Industrial C Programs

Ilja Zakharov, Evgeny Novikov, Ilya Shchepetkov

Automatic software verification tools help to find hard-to-detect faults in programs checked against specified requirements non-interactively. Besides, they can prove program correctness formally under certain assumptions. These capabilities are vital for verification of critical industrial programs like operating system kernels and embedded software. However, such programs can contain hundreds or thousands of KLOC that prevent obtaining valuable verification results in any reasonable time when checking non-trivial requirements. Also, existing tools do not provide widely adopted means for environment modeling, specification of requirements, verification of many versions and configurations of target programs, and expert assessment of verification results. In this paper, we present the Klever software verification framework, designed to reduce the effort of applying automatic software verification tools to large and critical industrial C programs.

Hydrogen Sulfide Measurement of Degraded Corrosion Inhibitor with Glass Tube Detector in Oil & Gas Industry

Ni Made Truly Pinanti Sastra, Indri H. Susilowati

Introduction: Corrosion inhibitor (CI) is injected as carbon steel pipe corrosion protection with sulfur-containing substances in the product. One type of them is thioglycolic acid (TGA). Besides having benefits in maintaining pipe integrity, TGA can be decomposed to HS (hydrogen sulfide) due to changes in ambient temperature during storage, such as direct sunlight exposure on the field. This irritant gas can pose a risk to the health of chemical workers. Therefore, this study aims to measure the concentration of H2S in a CI product containing TGA. Method: The data were collected from an oil and gas company measurement report on 12 CI drums with 1-3%w of TGA content by using a glass tube detector. Measurements were performed by varying the measurement distance (0 and 10 cm from the mouth of the drum), observing the condition of the inflated drum surface, and determining the existence of internal pressure. Results: All samples were contained H2S, and the inflated drums had higher H2S content than those that were not inflated up to more than 200 ppm in the drum bore. At this concentration, workers can experience pulmonary edema significantly prolonged exposure. Biological monitoring can be done by analyzing thiosulfate content in urine and blood after exposure or routine examination at the end of the work shift. Conclusion: CI with TGA content has the potential of high H2S concentration, and it requires risk control such as engineering control, administration control, and PPE application to minimize the health impact of H2S exposure to the workers.
