AGV Travel Instruction Blocks for Mounting Line Setup
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In mounting-related systems, users face increased burden in setting travel instructions for automatic conveyance vehicles due to the lack of consideration for manufacturer-specific data, requiring various settings for each type of vehicle, which complicates the process.
Innovation Solution
A mounting-related system that includes a storage section for instruction blocks, a display section to showcase these blocks on a screen, a setting section to configure travel instructions based on selected blocks, and a control section to execute travel control, allowing operators to easily set and perform travel instructions tailored to specific automatic conveyance vehicles.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If control data of automatic conveyance vehicles from multiple manufacturers is selected in simulator evaluation, then evaluation coverage is improved, but user burden increases due to lack of manufacturer-specific travel instruction data selection
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the travel instruction data into manufacturer-specific instruction blocks, allowing the system to selectively load and display only the relevant manufacturer's data rather than presenting all multi-manufacturer data at once. This reduces user burden by organizing information in manageable, targeted segments.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary action by pre-organizing control data into manufacturer-specific instruction blocks before the user needs them. When a simulator evaluation is conducted, the appropriate manufacturer's data is already prepared and displayed, eliminating the need for users to manually filter or organize data during the evaluation process.
2Reliability
If various types of setting are performed for travel instruction according to automatic conveyance vehicle type, then travel control accuracy is improved, but operation complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a universal interface that can handle multiple manufacturer types through a single standardized display and selection mechanism. The instruction blocks from different manufacturers are presented through the same user interface paradigm, allowing the system to maintain travel control accuracy for each manufacturer type while providing a consistent, simplified operation experience.
Solution Approach 2:
The system creates standardized copies of travel instruction data in the form of instruction blocks for each manufacturer type. These copied representations maintain the essential control parameters needed for accurate travel control while presenting them in a uniform, easy-to-select format that reduces operational complexity.
