Solution Overview

Problem

Existing asset monitoring and management systems fail to adapt to changing user needs and operational goals, leading to inefficiencies and potential equipment failures that can halt production, pose safety risks, and incur financial costs.

Innovation Solution

The Asset Performance Optimization System (APS) utilizes a recommendation engine that analyzes asset data, telemetry data, user intent, and purchase history to recommend software upgrades and maintenance actions, integrating with a marketplace for software packages tailored to specific user roles and asset types.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If existing asset monitoring systems are used, then basic monitoring functionality is provided, but the systems fail to adapt to changing user needs and operational goals

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadaptability to changing user needsVSAvoidequipment failure prevention
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system dynamically adapts to changing user needs and operational goals by implementing a recommendation engine that continuously learns from asset data, telemetry data, user intent, and purchase history. This allows the monitoring system to evolve its functionality and recommendations based on actual usage patterns and changing requirements, resolving the contradiction between adaptability and reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system incorporates feedback loops where asset performance data, user interactions, and purchase history are continuously analyzed to refine and improve monitoring recommendations. This feedback mechanism enables the system to adapt to changing needs while maintaining or improving reliability through data-driven adjustments.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Reliability

If comprehensive asset monitoring is implemented, then equipment failures can be detected, but the complexity of the system increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveequipment failure detectionVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The recommendation engine acts as an intermediary layer between raw asset monitoring data and user decision-making. It processes complex telemetry data, asset information, and purchase history to generate simplified, actionable recommendations, thereby maintaining high reliability in failure detection while reducing the perceived complexity for users.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs self-analysis of asset data and automatically generates maintenance and optimization recommendations without requiring complex user configuration or intervention. This self-service capability maintains comprehensive monitoring reliability while simplifying the user interface and reducing operational complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Productivity

If timely software updates and maintenance recommendations are provided, then asset performance is optimized, but the need for specialized software solutions increases system complexity

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveasset performance optimizationVSAvoidsoftware solution complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The recommendation engine serves multiple functions simultaneously: it analyzes asset data, predicts maintenance needs, recommends software updates, and optimizes performance. This multi-functional approach consolidates what would otherwise require multiple separate specialized software solutions into a single unified system, improving productivity while managing complexity.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary analysis of asset data and generates maintenance recommendations before actual failures or performance degradation occur. By proactively identifying issues and recommending preventive actions, the system optimizes asset performance while reducing the need for complex reactive maintenance software.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

Various embodiments for a customized asset performance system and marketplace are described herein. An embodiment operates by receiving asset data indicating one or more assets that are being monitored by a control system. Telemetry data for at least a first asset is received, the telemetry data including data corresponding to a previous functionality of the asset over a specified period of time. The telemetry data is compared to an expected functionality over the specified period of time. A problem with the first asset is identified based on the comparing. One or more software packages that are configured to address the problem with the first asset are identified based on comparing the telemetry data to an expected functionality of the first asset over the specified period of time. A selection of a first software package from the one more software packages is received and the selected first software package is updated.
