Solution Overview
Problem
Current systems for agricultural working machines have limited ability to predict the movement and operational readiness of machines, leading to inefficiencies in initiating switching and actuation processes, particularly due to inadequate consideration of operator behavior and geographic information.
Innovation Solution
An electronic machine management system with an adaptive monitoring module that collects and evaluates data from multiple work cycles, including operator behavior and geographic information, to improve prediction accuracy by transmitting signals to a machine-specific module for timely component state adjustments, such as entering a stand-by state.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If basic speed prediction methods are used based on current speed measurements, then some delay reduction in distribution rate is achieved, but the prediction quality remains limited due to insufficient consideration of available information about current operation
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by collecting and storing information from multiple working cycles before the actual prediction is needed. The adaptive monitoring module continuously gathers data about operator driving behavior, geographic information, and machine operation parameters during previous cycles, preparing this information in advance to enable more accurate predictions when needed.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements feedback by using evaluated information from past working cycles to continuously improve prediction accuracy. The monitoring module evaluates collected information and feeds it back into the prediction system, allowing the machine-specific module to adjust component switching timing based on learned patterns from previous operations, thereby reducing information loss and improving prediction quality.
2Productivity
If component switching is initiated based on limited prediction capability, then some operational readiness is achieved, but delays occur in distribution rate due to inadequate timing
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary switching actions by activating components into standby states before they are actually needed for operation. Based on evaluated information from multiple working cycles, the machine-specific module initiates component switching in advance, ensuring operational readiness is established beforehand and eliminating delays in the distribution rate during actual work execution.
3Measurement precision
If more information from multiple working cycles is collected and evaluated, then prediction accuracy improves, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The adaptive monitoring module serves multiple functions: it collects information from sensors, evaluates data from multiple working cycles, identifies operator behavior patterns, and generates predictions. This multi-functional approach consolidates what could be separate complex systems into a single integrated module, improving prediction accuracy without proportionally increasing overall system complexity.
