Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If manual transportation of test equipment and manual operation of host computer are used, then the testing process can be completed, but the labor cost increases and testing efficiency decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The system enables automated equipment transportation and automated host computer operation through the intelligent transport device and scheduling host computer, eliminating the need for manual intervention in routine testing tasks
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces manual mechanical operations with automated control systems, where the scheduling host computer automatically controls the intelligent transport device to move equipment and automatically operates the host computer for testing
2Reliability
If manual operation of host computer is used to control test equipment, then the test tasks can be executed, but errors in recording and execution may occur
Solution Approach 1:
The scheduling host computer automatically receives testing status information and equipment information, processes this feedback data, and adjusts the testing process accordingly, ensuring accurate recording and execution without manual errors
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces manual recording and operation with automated computer-based systems that precisely track and execute test tasks, eliminating human errors in data recording and task execution
3Productivity
If intelligent transport device automatically transports equipment without verification, then transportation efficiency increases, but unexpected transport errors occur
Solution Approach 1:
The scheduling host computer receives equipment information from the intelligent transport device, verifies whether the equipment meets transport tasks through automated comparison and judgment, and provides feedback control to prevent incorrect transportation
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary verification of equipment suitability for transport tasks before actual transportation occurs, allowing the scheduling host computer to determine in advance whether the equipment meets the required transport criteria

AI summary
A forming-machine equipment testing method includes: determining, by a scheduling host computer, an equipment transport task for equipment after a task start time of the equipment is reached, determining, by the scheduling host computer, whether the equipment meets the equipment transport task, and in response to the equipment meeting the equipment transport task, instructing, by scheduling host computer, an intelligent transport device to transport the equipment to a corresponding target location, so as to control the equipment to execute an equipment test task at the target location.
