Abstract: This underscores the critical importance of enhancing production flexibility and intelligence. The extant
research primarily focuses on assembly line production models and has not extensively explored non-
assembly line production models. The present study focuses on the application of data empowerment to island
assembly models to optimize resource scheduling, production efficiency, and equipment utilization. The
research methods employed encompass theoretical modeling and case analysis. A mixed-integer
programming model is employed to analyze the role of data empowerment, and an intelligent warehouse
system is utilized to validate its effectiveness. A substantial body of research has demonstrated that the
empowerment of data leads to a considerable enhancement in the utilization of equipment and optimizes
inventory management. This approach contributes to the acceleration of production cycles and the
enhancement of process and task completion rates. Furthermore, it facilitates seamless production connections,
thereby enhancing system stability and response speed. Moreover, data empowerment enhances system
flexibility, thus enabling the system to respond more effectively to market fluctuations and uncertainties. This
article demonstrates the importance of data empowerment in manufacturing transformation and the potential
for further exploration of data technology integration in various fields.
1 INTRODUCTION
In recent years, the global manufacturing industry has
undergone a rapid transition from Industry 3.0 to
Industry 4.0. The traditional assembly line production
model plays a significant role in large-scale,
standardized production. It meets market demand for
standardized products with its efficient and scalable
characteristics. However, as consumer demand
diversifies and market uncertainty increases, the
traditional assembly line model is showing its
limitations in adapting to small-batch, multi-variety,
and personalized production. Traditional models
often prove ineffective when it comes to dealing with
market demand fluctuations, customized production,
and rapid resource allocation. Non-assembly line
production models have presented challenges in the
face of traditional assembly line models. Data-driven
technologies have advantages that make them a
potential solution to these problems. These
technologies have been adopted widely in

manufacturing, and there is immense potential for
them in non-assembly line production. It is critical to
conduct in-depth research on the application of these
technologies in non-assembly line production to drive
the transformation and upgrade of manufacturing and
enhance corporate competitiveness. Therefore, how
to enhance the flexibility and intelligence of
production systems while maintaining high efficiency
is a pressing issue that must be addressed in the
transformation and upgrading of manufacturing.
To address the challenges, data-empowered
technologies are increasingly being recognized as a
key method for enhancing production flexibility and
intelligence. Data-empowered technologies enable
real-time data collection, analysis, and optimization,
thereby improving the adaptive capabilities and
decision-making efficiency of production systems.
This assertion is especially valid in non-assembly line
production models, where the optimization of
resource scheduling, equipment utilization, and
production cycles can effectively address the

complexity and uncertainty inherent in production
environments (Li,2025). A significant body of
research was conducted by scholars and industry
experts on data-empowered technologies, with a
particular focus on their application in manufacturing.
For instant, the application of data empowerment in
flexible production systems can significantly improve
production response speed and resource utilization
(Zhang,2024). Wu et al. demonstrated through case
studies that data empowerment can help enterprises
quickly adjust production plans in highly uncertain
production environments, thereby maintaining
efficient operations (Wu,2025). However, despite the
myriad valuable explorations provided by extant
research on the application of data empowerment in
production systems, the majority of studies
concentrated on assembly line production models or
specific industries. These studies did not fully
consider the potential of data empowerment in non-
assembly line production models. Under island
assembly models, the question of how to achieve
intelligent and flexible production through data
empowerment remains a relatively under-researched
area. Therefore, filling this research gap and
exploring the specific applications and effects of data-
driven technologies in non-assembly line production
modes holds significant theoretical and practical
significance.
The focus of this study is to explore the
application of data empowerment in non-assembly
line production models, with an emphasis on how it
can enhance the flexibility and intelligence of
production systems through real-time data collection
and optimized decision-making, thereby addressing
issues such as uneven resource allocation, equipment
idling, and prolonged production cycles. The core of
the research lies in integrating the island assembly
mode with data empowerment technology, delving
into the underlying mechanisms of their combination,
and validating their effectiveness through case studies
in actual production settings.
Theoretical modeling can reveal the intrinsic
mechanisms of data empowerment in non-assembly
line production modes from an abstract level, while
case studies can validate the effectiveness and
feasibility of these mechanisms through actual cases.
Therefore, this study comprehensively employs
theoretical modeling and case study methods.
Specifically, first, through theoretical modeling,
based on the characteristics of data empowerment
technology and island assembly mode, this study
proposes the key mechanisms of data empowerment
in non-assembly line production modes. Second, the
specific application effects of data empowerment in
resource scheduling, production efficiency, and
equipment utilization are explored using optimization
tools such as data analysis and mixed integer
programming models in combination with a specific
smart warehouse case.
The study aims to investigate how data
empowerment can optimize non-assembly line
production modes, focusing on addressing key
challenges such as unbalanced resource allocation,
equipment idling, and prolonged production cycles.
By systematically analyzing the core differences
between non-assembly line and traditional assembly
line modes, the study reveals the unique application
value and efficiency-enhancing pathways of data
empowerment in non-standard production scenarios,
and validates its effectiveness in improving
production efficiency and resource utilization
through actual case studies.
2 OVERVIEW OF
NON-ASSEMBLY LINE
PRODUCTION MODELS
2.1 Definition and Characteristics of
Non-Continuous Production Mode
Non-continuous production mode is a production
organization method that does not rely on traditional
assembly lines. It is widely used in scenarios
involving small batches, multiple varieties, and
customized production. This production organization
method, which does not rely on traditional assembly
lines, has the following notable characteristics: It
emphasizes that each unit in the production process
can operate independently, and production steps can
be flexibly arranged according to product
requirements and process characteristics, rather than
following a fixed sequence. Unlike traditional
assembly line production modes, non-assembly line
production modes offer significant advantages in
terms of production flexibility and the ability to
address diverse demands (Tang,2021), particularly in
industries with long production cycles, complex
products, and strong customization requirements,
such as aerospace manufacturing, shipbuilding, and
the production of special equipment.
Under the non-assembly line production model,
production tasks are not strictly constrained by fixed
ICEML 2025 - International Conference on E-commerce and Modern Logistics
682
processes, and production units operate
independently and flexibly, enabling effective
response to production environments characterized
by significant market demand fluctuations, diverse
product types, and strong personalized customization
requirements. This model possesses strong
adaptability and production flexibility (Zhang,2022).
However, this flexibility also presents challenges in
data management and resource allocation. The
complexity of non-assembly line production requires
enterprises to have more precise scheduling and
resource allocation capabilities, especially with the
support of intelligent and automated management
systems. It is necessary to effectively integrate and
optimize the massive amounts of data generated
during the production process to improve production
efficiency and resource utilization (Wang,2022).
Although non-assembly line production faces
greater challenges in resource allocation and
production rhythm control compared to assembly line
production, it demonstrates unique advantages in
handling customized and highly flexible production
tasks. By leveraging data-driven capabilities and
intelligent scheduling systems, non-assembly line
production can meet personalized production
demands while improving production efficiency and
resource utilization, thereby playing an increasingly
important role in modern manufacturing
(Chen,2021).
2.2 Data Characteristics in
Non-Assembly Line Production
Modes
2.2.1 Data Types and Sources
In non-assembly line production modes, intelligent
manufacturing systems rely on wireless local area
network (WLAN) technology to achieve device
interconnection and data collection. System data
primarily includes equipment operation, workstation
status, material flow, and production rhythm,
covering the entire production process.
Data sources primarily include production
information management systems, sensors, and
central control screens. Specific types include
equipment operating status, such as current operation,
shutdown, or fault conditions. Production
environmental data covers key parameters such as
production capacity, air pressure, temperature and
humidity, and noise levels. Information for each
workstation and unit includes location, power status,
material status, and task progress. Additionally,
warehouse location information provides detailed
data on storage status, material categories, and
storage duration. Through comprehensive monitoring
and management of these data, the efficiency and
reliability of the production process can be effectively
improved (Fang,2021).
Managers can use mobile terminals to monitor
workstation and task status in real time, while
electronic bulletin boards provide visual monitoring.
Digital twin technology enables real-time interaction
between the physical status of equipment and virtual
models, supporting digital mapping of the entire
production process and significantly improving
system efficiency and flexibility.
2.2.2 Data Complexity and Correlation
In non-assembly line production modes, the island-
based assembly model achieves decoupling and
flexible reorganization of assembly processes
through modular work units called “islands.” Each
‘island’ is responsible for completing one or a group
of relatively independent assembly operations and
possesses certain autonomous operations and local
optimization capabilities. Under the unified
management of the central scheduling system, the
“islands” collaborate to complete complex assembly
tasks and can dynamically adjust the content and
execution order of operations based on real-time
production status. It is precisely because of this
characteristic of the island assembly model that the
data in the production process is highly complex and
interrelated.
To achieve this flexible and efficient coordination
mechanism, each “island” relies extensively on data-
driven analysis methods during operation. First, by
collecting real-time data on equipment status and
process execution, the system uses correlation
analysis to identify resource conflicts, process
dependencies, and bottlenecks, guiding dynamic
adjustments to assembly rhythms. Second, leveraging
mixed-integer programming (MIP) algorithms, the
system integrates multiple constraints such as process
priorities, resource utilization, and time windows into
a unified scheduling model to optimize production
scheduling strategies across multiple islands,
ensuring globally optimal resource allocation. Third,
based on predictive models (such as time-series-
based order trend forecasting and inventory demand
forecasting), the system can anticipate future
production capacity loads and material requirements,

enabling proactive adjustments to assembly plans to
mitigate the impact of sudden orders or inventory
shortages.
Additionally, some “islands” utilize edge
computing devices to locally process high-frequency
data such as equipment operational status, sensor
feedback, and work-in-progress information,
reducing reliance on the central system and
accelerating response times. These data analysis and
processing mechanisms support the independent
operation of “islands” and ensure the entire assembly
system maintains high adaptability and robustness in
response to dynamic changes in orders, processes,
and material conditions.
3 APPLICATION OF DATA
EMPOWERMENT IN
NON-ASSEMBLY LINE
PRODUCTION MODELS
3.1 Role and Mechanism of Data
Empowerment
3.1.1 Enhancing Production Efficiency
Through Data Empowerment
In a Smart Warehouse environment, the demand for
resources among different work islands is highly
uncertain, requiring real-time scheduling systems to
effectively resolve potential conflicts during frequent
resource calls. At the same time, the diversity of data
types, such as equipment operating status, material
location information, and process progress,
significantly increases the complexity of the decision-
making process. Faced with constantly changing
order demands, the assembly system must have a
highly flexible, dynamic adaptation capability to
minimize material waste and avoid process delays. To
effectively address these issues and enhance the
dynamic adaptability of assembly systems, data
decomposition has emerged as a critical approach. By
decomposing complex data, heterogeneous data can
be transformed into basic elements that can be
independently identified and analyzed, thereby
providing a reliable foundation for analyzing resource
requirements and optimizing decision-making
processes. Data decomposition helps systems better
identify potential conflicts, optimize resource
scheduling, reduce material waste, and avoid process
delays.
Initially, the data types involved must be
identified and classified. According to the preceding
analysis, the present study encompasses the following
data types. The initial category is equipment data,
encompassing the operational status of equipment,
including power status (i.e., on, off, and malfunction),
as well as real-time production capacity and
environmental parameters such as air pressure,
temperature, and humidity. The second category is
production data, which encompasses production
rhythm, the number of work-in-progress items, and
the input and output quantities of materials. The third
category is job unit data, which includes the real-time
operating status of each job unit, the material
information involved, power consumption, and task
execution progress. The fourth category is inventory
data, which encompasses information regarding
temporary storage location, material status, storage-
related information, and material storage time. The
fifth category is real-time monitoring data, which is
primarily obtained through sensors and central
control screens to gather real-time information on
equipment operation and environmental conditions.
Additionally, it encompasses the execution status of
tasks, which are ascertained through the utilization of
mobile handheld devices.
Following the identification of the data types, it is
imperative to undertake a subsequent analysis of the
data sources to ensure data completeness and
accuracy. Sensors installed on-site enable real-time
monitoring of equipment operating status and
environmental parameters, thereby ensuring the
timeliness and authenticity of the data. The
production information management system provides
comprehensive production data support and statistical
analysis functions, helping to systematically
understand production status. Central control screens
and electronic bulletin boards are utilized to display
the status of equipment and key production indicators
in a centralized manner, thereby enhancing the
efficiency of information transmission. The
implementation of digital twin technology facilitates
the real-time mapping of equipment operation within
a virtual environment, thereby enabling dynamic
simulation and interaction with the status of the
equipment. This, in turn, enhances perception and
control capabilities over the production process. The
overall process is shown in Figure 1.

3.1.2 Data Dimensions and Key
Performance Indicators
Effective application of data dimensions, and key
performance indicators (KPIs) is critical to improving
production efficiency in the management and
optimization of smart warehouses. Data dimensions
offer a thorough analytical view of the production
process. They include the time dimension, which
identifies time-based patterns to support production
decision-making; the equipment dimension, which
monitors equipment utilization rates and failure
frequencies to mitigate risk; the material dimension,
which ensures material flow and supply align with
production demands to reduce waste (Fang,2021); the
process dimension, which monitors progress to
optimize production workflows; and the work unit
dimension, which coordinates resources between
workstations to enhance flexibility and adaptability.
However, data dimensions alone are insufficient for a
comprehensive assessment of production efficiency.
Thus, key performance indicators (KPIs) have
emerged as essential tools for quantifying the
performance of each dimension. Production cycle
time measures processing time to help identify
bottlenecks and optimize processes. Equipment
utilization assesses usage to help identify issues with
inefficient use. Inventory turnover rate measures
material flow efficiency to avoid inventory buildup.
Process completion rate reflects production task
execution to help adjust plans. Task execution rate
focuses on execution efficiency to ensure the
coordinated operation of all production links.
Comprehensive utilization of data dimensions and
key performance indicators (KPIs) enables
companies to enhance production transparency,
improve flexibility and efficiency, and make more
precise decisions in complex production
environments (Zheng,2022). This optimization
extends to their overall warehouse management
system.

685
Figure 2: Data dimension and key performance indicator correspondence chart (Picture credit: Original)
A close intrinsic relationship exists between data
dimensions and key performance indicators. As
shown in Figure 2. Each data dimension provides the
necessary contextual data for calculating KPIs. For
instance, the level of equipment utilization is directly
influenced by the operational status within the
equipment dimension. Frequent equipment
malfunctions result in a significant decrease in
equipment utilization, potentially indicating
underlying resource scheduling issues. Concurrently,
the length of the production cycle time is closely
related to the processing time of each process in the
time dimension, which can reveal bottlenecks in the
production process. Furthermore, the integration of
inventory turnover rate with real-time data from the
material dimension can facilitate the formulation of
rational material replenishment and allocation
strategies by management, thereby enhancing the
overall efficiency of the production system
(Zheng,2022). Through meticulous examination of
these dimensions and indicators, smart warehouses
can attain more efficient resource scheduling and
decision support.
To further enhance the operational efficiency of
smart warehouses, effective correlation analysis is
imperative. The objective of correlation analysis is to
explore the interrelationships between data
dimensions and key indicators, thereby providing a
scientific basis for real-time decision-making
(Ren,2022). Through the implementation of
statistical analysis and machine learning
methodologies, researchers can identify the pivotal
factors influencing production efficiency and discern
potential interdependencies among data elements.
This methodological approach facilitates a
comprehensive understanding of how disparate data
dimensions interact with one another, thereby
providing a foundational framework for optimizing
resource allocation and enhancing production
flexibility.
3.2 Smart Warehouses and Production
Scheduling
3.2.1 Application of Mixed-Integer
Programming Models in Scheduling
Optimization
In the context of a Smart Warehouse environment,
correlation analysis frequently entails the
management of resources, including scheduling and
allocation. For instance, alterations in equipment

status, process priorities, and material inventory can
directly influence the execution of tasks on an
assembly line. MIP is an optimization algorithm
capable of handling models with both integer and
continuous variables, making it highly suitable for
addressing complex scheduling problems in smart
warehouses, particularly those involving resource
conflicts and priority allocation. MIP methods can
represent these variables and their interdependencies
as a set of mathematical constraints and an objective
function. By optimizing these constraints, the
algorithm attains a globally optimal schedule.
3.2.2 Model Definition
Within the MIP model, it is imperative to delineate
the objective function and constraints.
The objective of optimization is to be established,
and it may pertain to the minimization of production
cycle time, inventory costs, or equipment utilization.
In the context of intelligent warehouses, the objective
is to enhance equipment utilization and resource
dynamic adaptability by minimizing completion time
and inventory costs.The parameters are defined as

3.3 Model Results Analysis
3.3.1 Results Interpretation
Following the resolution of the model, a systematic
analysis was conducted, with a focus on the specific
task allocation and the operational status of the
equipment associated with each task. A comparison
of the model solution results with actual production
data allows for an effective evaluation of the model's
performance and its applicability in practical
applications. This analysis suggests that managers
can adjust their scheduling strategies promptly,
thereby enhancing resource allocation efficiency.
Specifically, the MIP model optimized the
allocation of equipment and tasks, thereby effectively
reducing equipment idle time in a non-flow
production mode. The model demonstrated a
substantial enhancement in equipment utilization,
leading to a notable reduction in resource waste
stemming from equipment idling (Ni, 2022). This
improvement was achieved through the dynamic
allocation of tasks to the most appropriate equipment,
thereby optimizing resource usage. Furthermore, the
model meticulously scheduled the commencement
and conclusion of each production task, ensuring that
tasks were executed by their relative priorities. This
approach not only reduced waiting times within the
production process but also enhanced the production
system's capacity to adapt to evolving market
demands. Consequently, this methodology
contributed to a reduction in the overall production
cycle and an improvement in delivery efficiency,
Figure 3 shows the correlation analysis process.
In the context of material management, the MIP
model can dynamically adjust real-time material
demands and inventory status, thereby reducing
inventory backlogs. The model can automatically
identify and determine the optimal replenishment
timing and quantity for materials. This capability
effectively reduces unnecessary inventory costs and
further optimizes material management (Huang,
2019). In the context of island production models, the
implementation of the MIP model enables the system
to achieve efficient coordination between production
units, thereby avoiding resource conflicts and
bottlenecks. This coordination mechanism has been
demonstrated to enhance overall production
efficiency while ensuring production flexibility.

3.3.2 Application Analysis
The MIP model exhibits considerable adaptability in
responding to fluctuations in production demand,
particularly in cases of variable order demand. The
model's capacity for expeditious reallocation of
resources is pivotal in ensuring the prioritized
execution of critical tasks, a feature that is particularly
salient in contexts characterized by the fulfillment of
bespoke and limited production volumes. The
model's scheduling optimization has been shown to
improve the production system's responsiveness and
adaptability to market changes, enhancing its
flexibility and efficiency.
Furthermore, the MIP model provides accurate
decision support by leveraging real-time data to
optimize production planning and scheduling
decisions. The integration of data analysis enables
management to make more precise decisions,
informed by real-time feedback. This approach
effectively mitigates production deviations and
reduces resource wastage, thereby enhancing overall
production efficiency(Ren,2022). This process
exemplifies the merits of data empowerment in
decision-making, thereby enhancing the scientific
rigor and efficiency of production scheduling.
The MIP model has been demonstrated to play a
dual role in terms of quality and cost improvement.
The model's efficacy is demonstrated by its ability to
optimize equipment utilization and inventory
management, thereby reducing inventory costs while
enhancing quality control levels. The model
incorporates a priority allocation function for critical
equipment and materials, thereby averting quality
issues stemming from material shortages or
equipment failures and ensuring effective cost control
during production. This optimization not only ensures
product quality but also further improves production
economics.
The MIP model establishes a sustainable feedback
optimization mechanism. The model provides data
support for future scheduling optimization through
continuous feedback on execution results, thereby
forming a cycle of continuous improvement. The
production management team can use this feedback
to continuously adjust resource allocation plans,
thereby improving the adaptability and scalability of
the model. This mechanism enables the MIP model to
continuously optimize in a dynamic production
environment, providing enterprises with long-term
production management advantages.
4 CONCLUSIONS
The primary conclusions of this study emphasize the
substantial influence of data empowerment on
numerous pivotal indicators within non-assembly line
production models. Firstly, the enhancement in
equipment utilization is indicative of the optimization
of resource scheduling that is driven by data. The
implementation of real-time data collection and
intelligent task allocation is instrumental in
enhancing the operational efficiency of production
equipment. This, in turn, leads to a reduction in
equipment idle time and ensures the optimal
utilization of overall production capacity. Secondly,
the enhancement in inventory turnover rate
substantiates the efficacy of data empowerment in
inventory management. Conventional inventory
management is characterized by substantial expenses
and protracted lead times. Conversely, data
empowerment employs dynamic integration of
production, inventory, and order data to optimize
replenishment strategies and storage routes, thereby
effectively mitigating inventory buildup and shortage
risks. About the production cycle time, the
empowerment of data results in a reduction of said
cycle through the optimization of task allocation and
resource configuration. Intelligent algorithms
circumvent traditional production issues, such as
process queuing and resource conflicts, by
prioritizing processes and considering resource
constraints. This renders the production process more
efficient and seamless. Furthermore, the
enhancement in process completion and task
execution rates underscores the pivotal role of data
empowerment in facilitating effective production
coordination. The real-time dissemination of pivotal
production data facilitates seamless coordination
among processes, mitigates production delays, and
enhances the stability of the production rhythm.
In summary, the application of data empowerment
in non-assembly line production models can
effectively improve key production indicators,
optimize resource allocation, enhance production
efficiency, and strengthen system flexibility and
responsiveness. Enterprises can enhance their
responsiveness to market demand changes and
production environment uncertainties by leveraging
accurate data analysis, intelligent scheduling, and
resource optimization. This, in turn, can lead to
improvements in overall competitiveness. Data
empowerment has been shown to improve production
efficiency and provide enterprises with more efficient
decision-making support and operational capabilities
in a dynamic market environment. Consequently, this
Strategies for Production Optimization in Non-Flow Production Models in the Context of the Digital Economy

can drive the non-assembly line production model
toward greater efficiency and flexibility.
The findings of this study offer novel insights for
future research, particularly in the domains of
production process optimization and intelligent
scheduling. The findings suggest that data
empowerment has a substantial impact on equipment
utilization, inventory management, and production
cycle acceleration. This prompts numerous avenues
for future research, particularly about the
enhancement of system intelligence, the
augmentation of data accuracy and real-time
performance, and the adaptation to more intricate and
evolving production environments.
Subsequent research endeavors should
concentrate on investigating methodologies for the
dissemination of data-empowered technologies
across diverse industry sectors, with a particular
emphasis on those domains characterized by intricate
resource scheduling and considerable demand
fluctuations. Furthermore, cross-industry
applications and system integration will be pivotal in
the development of data-empowered technologies.
Research must explore the profound integration of
data technologies with conventional manufacturing
industries and the innovative application of intelligent
algorithms.
