Industrial Asset Model Rollback Using Revert Conditions
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Industrial automation systems face challenges in managing and reverting industrial asset models effectively, particularly in ensuring data quality and maintaining accurate versions of these models, which is crucial for predictive maintenance and operational efficiency.
Innovation Solution
A system comprising a processor and memory that determines whether a defined revert condition is satisfied, allowing for the reverting of an industrial asset model from a second version to a first version, with features like versioning control and data quality analysis, enabling efficient management and rollback of industrial asset models.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If industrial asset model versioning is implemented to enable rollback, then model reliability and data quality are improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the asset model management into distinct version instances, where each version is a separate, complete copy of the model state. This segmentation allows independent management of each version without affecting others, enabling reliable rollback while keeping the versioning mechanism itself simple and modular.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates complete copies of the asset model for each version, storing multiple identical copies that can be independently retrieved. This copying approach ensures data integrity and reliability for rollback operations, while the copies are managed through a simple version identifier system that minimizes overall system complexity.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple versions of industrial asset models are stored, then model adaptability and rollback capability are improved, but data storage requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent performs preliminary actions by creating complete version copies only when explicitly requested or triggered by specific events. Rather than continuously maintaining all possible versions, the system prepares version snapshots on-demand, reducing unnecessary storage consumption while maintaining adaptability when needed.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent manages the quantity of stored data by dynamically controlling the version retention parameter. The system can adjust how many versions are kept based on storage availability and operational needs, allowing flexibility in balancing adaptability requirements against storage constraints through parameter-based control.
3Productivity
If automatic revert conditions are implemented, then operational efficiency is improved, but control complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements self-service through automatic revert conditions that autonomously evaluate and execute rollback operations without human intervention. The system monitors model states and automatically reverts when predefined conditions are met, improving operational efficiency by eliminating manual assessment while keeping the control logic simple and rule-based.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses feedback mechanisms where the system continuously monitors asset model states and compares them against predefined revert conditions. When the feedback indicates a condition is met, automatic rollback is triggered. This simple feedback-loop approach improves operational efficiency without requiring complex control systems.

AI summary
Industrial asset model rollback (e.g., using a computerized tool) is enabled. For example, a system can comprise: a memory that stores executable components, and a processor, operatively coupled to the memory, that executes the executable components, the executable components comprising: a model condition component that determines whether a defined revert condition, applicable to an industrial asset model, has been satisfied, and a versioning component that, in response to the defined revert condition being determined to be satisfied, reverts the industrial asset model from a second version of the industrial asset model to a first version of the industrial asset model.
