[0028] Going further,

[0029] Device Model Management Module

[0030] It plays a vital role in the entire system. It greatly simplifies the subsequent management process and improves the interoperability and flexibility of the system by abstracting different types of heterogeneous devices into a unified model.

[0031] Device model library: As the core component of the device model abstraction layer, it stores standardized models of various heterogeneous devices and provides a convenient and efficient device management solution. The model library covers multiple types of devices such as sensors, actuators, machine vision devices, programmable logic controllers (PLCs), flow meters, and thermostats. Each device model contains unique parameters and description information to facilitate users to quickly find and call it in subsequent management.

[0032] Convenient model search: Users can quickly search for suitable device models by device model, type, function, etc., avoiding the tedious process of re-establishing models. The design of the model library follows the principle of high modularity, allowing users to easily add new device models according to business needs, adapt to market changes, and maintain management flexibility.

[0033] Model mapping and conversion:

[0034] Physical device information mapping: The system uses an automated mechanism to identify and extract key information about physical devices, and maps it into corresponding device models to ensure the uniformity and interoperability of device information. Through this process, key information including the device's operating status, connection information, fault codes, etc. can be effectively managed.

[0035] Efficient data integration: With standardized interfaces, the information in the equipment model can be seamlessly integrated with other systems (such as monitoring systems and maintenance management systems). This interoperability greatly improves the efficiency of equipment management. For example, when the equipment status is updated, the system can quickly upload real-time data to the database and compare and analyze it with historical operating data to provide sufficient information for decision-making.

[0036] Scene model assembly module

[0037] The scenario model assembly module is responsible for flexibly generating equipment assembly solutions to cope with changing application scenarios. It aims to optimize equipment utilization efficiency through scenario management and model management, while improving the system's responsiveness.

[0038] Scenario model assembly module: built on detailed scenario management. By defining equipment object models related to application scenarios, the system can ensure more accurate equipment management and deployment. For example, in a factory production line, in order to cope with product changes and process adjustments, the system will flexibly generate specific equipment assembly solutions based on real-time demand conditions to ensure efficient use of resources.

[0039] Equipment object model definition: According to different application scenarios (such as production lines, maintenance sites, environmental monitoring, etc.), the equipment object model is defined to include not only equipment categories and functional characteristics, but also its role and positioning in related scenarios. These models not only contain the basic attributes of the equipment (such as equipment type, name, description), but also elaborate on the tasks, collaborative relationships and interactions that need to be performed in specific scenarios. For example, the object model of a conveyor belt may define its carrying capacity, speed adjustment mechanism, and coordinated operation parameters with other equipment (such as sensors, processors, etc.).

[0040] Model management of specific equipment: By dynamically creating specific equipment models, the system can manage the characteristics and functions of each equipment in real time and adjust them at any time as needed. For example, when a new equipment is introduced or upgraded, the system automatically generates its data model to reflect the latest technical parameters, ensuring that the equipment information is always up to date and improving the accuracy of fault diagnosis and maintenance.

[0041] Definition and management of scenario models: Users can customize scenario models according to different application scenarios (such as production lines, maintenance sites, environmental monitoring, etc.). Each scenario model contains the device type, functional requirements, and operating modes related to the scenario. This flexibility ensures that the device can operate efficiently in a specific scenario. For example, in an environmental monitoring scenario, users may define a model to integrate temperature and humidity sensors, air quality monitors, and alarm systems to achieve comprehensive monitoring of environmental parameters.

[0042] Association between scenarios and models: The system can classify scenarios and closely associate specific scenarios with corresponding equipment object models for dynamic management. This linkage ensures rapid response to business needs. For example, when a device is marked as a key device on a production line, the system can automatically associate it with the corresponding inspection scenario to ensure that it receives priority attention in subsequent actual operations and reduce the risk of potential equipment failure.

[0043] Model update mechanism: As the usage of equipment changes, the equipment model should be updated flexibly. Equipment operation data (such as working hours, fault records, maintenance records, etc.) will be fed back to the management system in real time, and then the model parameters will be automatically adjusted to reflect the current operation status and performance indicators of the equipment in real time. In this way, the accuracy and timeliness of management information can be ensured, ensuring the effectiveness and reliability of decision support.

[0044] Task scheduling and management: Through the cycle management mechanism, the system can dynamically generate inspection tasks to ensure that the inspection process is more targeted and efficient. For example, the system may set a specific time interval or trigger an inspection task based on the equipment operation status, thereby achieving planned inspections and improving equipment operation efficiency.

[0045] Task scheduling generation and priority management: The system automatically generates reasonable inspection tasks based on the equipment's historical operating data, status information, fault records, and priority settings. At the same time, priorities are set to ensure that critical equipment and high-risk equipment receive more attention. For example, the system may set high priority for equipment with high failure frequency and critical production tasks, thereby optimizing the overall effectiveness of the inspection plan and ensuring that no unexpected equipment downtime occurs.

[0046] Automated inspection engine

[0047] The automated inspection engine is an important component of the system. It is responsible for executing preset inspection tasks and collecting and analyzing data from equipment operation in real time to enhance fault response efficiency and reduce potential losses caused by equipment failures.

[0048] Inspection task scheduling:

[0049] Intelligent scheduling algorithm: An intelligent scheduling algorithm based on multiple factors is used to comprehensively consider the device priority, historical fault records and real-time monitoring data to generate and optimize inspection tasks. This dynamic calculation method not only considers the current operating status of each device, but also analyzes the dependencies between devices to achieve the best configuration and resource utilization of inspection tasks. For example, if a certain device has a high failure rate, the scheduling system will ensure that the device takes priority in the inspection plan when generating inspection tasks, thereby reducing the risk of sudden failures.

[0050] Dynamic adjustment mechanism: During the inspection process, the system is highly flexible and can dynamically adjust the inspection tasks according to real-time monitoring data. For example, when the system detects that a certain device has a high temperature or abnormal vibration, the system will quickly prioritize the device in the next round of inspection tasks. Through big data and artificial intelligence technology, the system can predict and identify potential faults, thereby ensuring that equipment problems can be handled in the first place, minimizing downtime and maintenance costs.

[0051] Visual dashboard: The system provides a friendly visual interface, allowing managers to intuitively view the status and operating data of all equipment. Through data visualization, inspection results, historical data analysis and operating trends are clear at a glance, helping decision makers quickly understand the system operation status and make corresponding maintenance plans.

[0052] Fault warning and handling:

[0053] Intelligent early warning mechanism: Based on the historical data and real-time monitoring of the equipment, the system can realize fault early warning. When the operating parameters of the equipment exceed the set range or potential risks occur, the system will automatically generate an alarm and notify the relevant operation and maintenance personnel through mobile applications or emails to ensure that the problem can be paid attention to in the first time.

[0054] Automated processing suggestions: After identifying a problem, the system not only issues an alarm, but also automatically provides preliminary troubleshooting suggestions based on the knowledge base, including recommended inspection steps, possible causes of the fault and solutions, to help operation and maintenance personnel quickly carry out disposal work and improve the efficiency and accuracy of troubleshooting.

[0055] Data storage and management module

[0056] This module is dedicated to establishing a complete and efficient database system to facilitate the unified storage, management and analysis of the large amount of data generated during the inspection process.

[0057] Efficient storage mechanism: It adopts a combination of time series database and relational database to ensure the best balance between data security, scalability and access efficiency, and to ensure convenient retrieval and management of historical data and real-time data.

[0058] Data management strategy: Set reasonable data retention and archiving policies to properly manage different types of devices and data, ensure the integrity and security of important data, and optimize the use of storage resources.

[0059] User interface: This module provides an intuitive visual user interaction interface, allowing users to implement functions such as equipment management, inspection task configuration, inspection result viewing and data analysis, ensuring that users can operate and manage conveniently and quickly, thereby improving management efficiency.
