Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If traditional data analytics methods are used with human interaction, then insights can be obtained from asset data, but the process becomes time-consuming and resource-intensive

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinsight accuracyVSAvoidanalysis time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system enables automated self-service analytics where the cognitive advisor independently processes asset data, correlates information from multiple systems, and generates insights without requiring human analyst intervention. This automation resolves the contradiction by eliminating manual analysis time while maintaining insight quality through AI-driven correlation algorithms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces the mechanical human analysis process with an electronic cognitive advisor system that uses machine learning and knowledge graphs to automatically correlate asset data. This substitution eliminates the time-consuming manual processes while preserving analytical accuracy through sophisticated automated algorithms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

2Reliability

If data from multiple systems is analyzed to identify asset issues, then comprehensive insights are achieved, but determining inter-relationships becomes difficult and inefficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveissue identification accuracyVSAvoiddata correlation complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a knowledge graph as an intermediary data structure that standardizes and correlates information from multiple disparate systems. The knowledge graph serves as a mediator that automatically establishes inter-relationships between asset data, system data, and operational parameters, resolving the complexity of multi-system integration while improving issue identification reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The cognitive advisor system performs multiple functions including data correlation, pattern recognition, anomaly detection, and insight generation within a single unified platform. This multi-functional approach simplifies the complexity of analyzing data from multiple systems by consolidating various analytical tasks into one versatile system.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

3Reliability

If specialized workers manually monitor multiple assets, then asset issues can be identified, but the workload becomes unmanageable for large numbers of assets

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveasset monitoring reliabilityVSAvoidassets per worker
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The cognitive advisor system enables assets to monitor and report their own status automatically, eliminating the need for specialized workers to manually track each asset. The system self-identifies issues, correlates problems across assets, and generates maintenance insights autonomously, allowing one worker to effectively manage thousands of assets while maintaining monitoring reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces the manual mechanical monitoring process with an automated electronic system that uses machine learning algorithms to detect asset issues. This substitution dramatically increases productivity by allowing a single worker to oversee far more assets than previously possible, while the AI system maintains or even improves detection reliability through consistent automated analysis.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)
