description As Industry 5.0 progresses, the demand for zero-touch configuration in industrial automation and smart manufacturing is increasing. This paper proposes a dynamic configuration management framework for Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN), aiming to address the challenges of flexibility and adaptability in dynamic network environments. A zero-touch configuration model is presented for TSN by incorporating a Delay-Aware Shortest Path Search (DASPS) algorithm to improve scheduling success rates. Simulation results demonstrate the ability of the framework to reconfigure networks within 2.67 milliseconds. The DASPS algorithm achieves a scheduling success rate of 70.22% for 1000 TSN flows, in contrast to only 22.23% achieved by the Shortest Path Search (SPS) algorithm. The proposed model effectively adapts to dynamic network changes, guaranteeing real-time data transmission. To further evaluate system adaptability, path entropy is introduced as a metric to quantitatively assess the balance of scheduling outcomes under topological changes. In the event of link failures, path entropy experiences a sharp decline but rapidly recovers after reconfiguration, demonstrating the system’s strong self-healing capability.
