The Application of Big Data and AI Analytics in Rating Industrial and Smart Manufacturing Districts: Challenges and Opportunities

As an important carrier and component of industrial clusters, industrial districts are an important way for regional economic growth, and the economic effects of industrial districts have attracted more and more attention. Therefore, how to identify high-quality districts with good development trends and obvious competitive advantages from a large amount of district information has become an increasingly important topic. This article takes industrial and intelligent manufacturing districts as an example and proposes an innovative industrial and intelligent manufacturing zone rating method that combines rule-based modeling, Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), and Artificial Intelligence (AI) models. Collect structured and unstructured data, including real-time operational data, historical records, market trends, and expert opinions, from multiple sources through big data technology. Apply rule-based models and Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) to prioritize and weight various factors that affect regional performance, and obtain district ratings; And use the Kmeans method for clustering to obtain district level classification. Finally, the paper combines the outputs of the rule-based models, AHP, and AI models to create an overall rating system. This system continuously monitors district performance, providing accurate and comprehensive ratings to support decision-making in industry and government.
