Energy Consumption Management of Intelligent Production Buildings Within the Supply Chain Ecosystem of Smart City Manufacturing and Service Clusters: A Knowledge-Driven Coordination Approach

The supply chain ecosystem (SCE) operating within an urban environment is characterised by continuous interactions among manufacturing, logistics, service, information, and energy flows across multiple smart city manufacturing-service clusters (SCMSCs). Within the SCE, intelligent production buildings (IPBs) emerge as multifunctional multistorey production-service infrastructures developed under conditions of limited urban land availability and increasing demand for localised manufacturing and service integration. These buildings operate under heterogeneous and dynamically changing energy-demand conditions, substantially complicating energy consumption management. This study develops a knowledge-driven coordination approach for the energy consumption management of IPBs operating within SCMSCs from the perspective of the urban SCE. IPBs are conceptualised as distributed environments with finite building-level power supply system capacity, where manufacturing, logistics, service, and digital processes dynamically compete for shared energy resources. A hierarchical representation of the SCMSC energy environment is proposed, capturing distributed interactions and heterogeneous electricity-demand profiles across interconnected clusters. An information-analytical system integrating monitoring, data acquisition, analysis, ML-based demand prediction, planning, and decision-support functions is developed to support predictive electricity-demand coordination. The proposed framework combines IoT-enabled monitoring with digital-twin-supported synchronisation of energy states for distributed coordination among IPBs. The proposed approach is evaluated through scenario-based analysis of an IPB operating within an urban manufacturing-service environment. The results indicate the potential of knowledge-driven coordination to improve energy-capacity utilisation, mitigate peak-load formation, and enhance operational stability within SCMSCs.
