Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Extent of automation
If racks are placed manually in logistics centers, then placement flexibility can be achieved, but the time required to establish a 3D logistics center increases and automation is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The system creates a digital twin (virtual copy) of the logistics center and uses 3D modeling to replicate rack placements automatically. The digital twin technology allows virtual copying and placement of racks based on predefined parameters, eliminating manual placement while maintaining design flexibility.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary 3D modeling and simulation of rack placements before actual implementation. By pre-defining placement parameters and visualizing the 3D logistics center in advance, the system prepares optimal rack configurations that can be automatically executed, reducing on-site placement time.
2Area of stationary object
If traditional rack placement methods are used, then implementation simplicity is maintained, but spatial utilization optimization is hindered
Solution Approach 1:
The system transitions from 2D planning to 3D visualization by creating a three-dimensional digital twin of the logistics center. This dimensional enhancement allows for optimized spatial utilization by visualizing rack placements in three dimensions, calculating optimal positions, and simulating various configuration scenarios before implementation.
3Manufacturing precision
If manual rack placement is performed, then system simplicity is maintained, but placement precision and standardization are reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The system replaces manual mechanical placement operations with automated 3D modeling and simulation processes. By using computer-based 3D visualization and digital twin technology, the system achieves precise rack placement positioning and standardized configurations without manual intervention, ensuring consistency and accuracy.
