20.500.12556/RUL-169440 Exploring decentralized warehouse management using large language models a proof of concept The Fourth Industrial Revolution has introduced “shared manufacturing” as a key concept that leverages digitalization, IoT, blockchain, and robotics to redefine the production and delivery of manufacturing services. This paper presents a novel approach to decentralized warehouse management integrating Large Language Models (LLMs) into the decision-making processes of autonomous agents, which serves as a proof of concept for shared manufacturing. A multi-layered system architecture consisting of physical, digital shadow, organizational, and protocol layers was developed to enable seamless interactions between parcel and warehouse agents. Shared Warehouse game simulations were conducted to evaluate the performance of LLM-driven agents in managing warehouse services, including direct and pooled offers, in a competitive environment. The simulation results show that the LLM-controlled agent clearly outperformed traditional random strategies in decentralized warehouse management. In particular, it achieved higher warehouse utilization rates, more efficient resource allocation, and improved profitability in various competitive scenarios. The LLM agent consistently ensured optimal warehouse allocation and strategically selected offers, reducing empty capacity and maximizing revenue. In addition, the integration of LLMs improves the robustness of decision-making under uncertainty by mitigating the impact of randomness in the environment and ensuring consistent, contextualized responses. This work represents a significant advance in the application of AI to decentralized systems. It provides insights into the complexity of shared manufacturing networks and paves the way for future research in distributed production systems. shared manufacturing decentralized warehouse large language models multi-agent systems resource optimization capacity pooling decision theory true false true Angleški jezik Ni določen Članek v reviji 2025-05-28 13:59:00 2025-05-28 13:59:10 2025-05-30 03:42:04 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2025 0 0 35 str. iss. 10, art. 5734 Vol. 15 2025 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 658.5 2076-3417 10.3390/app15105734 237539331 Berlec_..._Exploring_Decentralized_Warehouse.pdf Berlec_..._Exploring_Decentralized_Warehouse.pdf 1 D077A31E5AA840F94F4F9C6A3604789E 4ec21e639949ab2f83e9b95da90e2f84cb4c2a9e67f18fecadfd8112ee49fbb3 a3d7d4a6-3bba-11f0-b232-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=210797 https://www.mdpi.com/2076-3417/15/10/5734 1 de9c4786-3bb9-11f0-b232-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=210793 Fakulteta za strojništvo 0 0 0
