Abstract

Due to the rapid development of industrial internet technology, the traditional manufacturing industry is in urgent need of digital transformation, and one of the key technologies to achieve this is multi-source data fusion. For this problem, this paper proposes an improved entropy-weighted topsis method for a multi-source data fusion evaluation system. It adds a fusion evaluation system based on the decision-level fusion algorithm and proposes a dynamic fusion strategy. The fusion evaluation system effectively solves the problem of data scale inconsistency among multi-source data, which leads to difficulties in fusing models and low fusion accuracy, and obtains optimal fusion results. The paper then verifies the effectiveness of the fusion evaluation system through experiments on the multilayer feature fusion of single-source data and the decision-level fusion of multi-source data, respectively. The results of this paper can be used in intelligent production and assembly plants in the discrete industry and provide the corresponding management and decision support with a certain practical value.

Keywords: decision-level fusion; fusion evaluation system; multi-source data.
