Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If secondary batteries are supplied after large deterioration, then the number of supplied secondary batteries increases, but the quality and usability of the batteries deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by acquiring battery information before deterioration becomes severe, analyzing the battery state in advance, and providing sale information at optimal timing. This allows batteries to be supplied before excessive deterioration occurs, maintaining quality while ensuring adequate supply through early identification of suitable batteries for secondary use.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements feedback by continuously monitoring battery information, analyzing current battery states, and using this analysis to determine optimal sale timing. The feedback loop ensures that batteries are supplied at the right moment - not too early to waste potential secondary use, and not too late to cause excessive deterioration - thus balancing quantity and quality.
2Reliability
If secondary batteries are supplied early before deterioration, then the quality of batteries improves, but the number of available batteries decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary analysis of battery information to identify which batteries are suitable for secondary use before deterioration occurs. By analyzing battery states in advance and providing sale information at optimal timing, the system maximizes the number of batteries that can be supplied in good condition without needing to supply them all at once.
Solution Approach 2:
The system dynamically adjusts the supply strategy by providing sale information at optimal timing based on real-time battery analysis. Rather than a static early-supply approach, the system adapts to each battery's actual state, allowing flexible supply timing that increases both the number and quality of batteries supplied for secondary use.
3Device complexity
If battery information is not analyzed, then the distribution process is simple, but the timing and value assessment of battery sales are inaccurate
Solution Approach 1:
The system replaces complex manual analysis with automated information processing. By acquiring battery information and analyzing it through systematic processes, the system achieves accurate value assessment and optimal timing determination without requiring complex human judgment, thus improving measurement precision while keeping the process manageable.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes parameters by analyzing multiple aspects of battery information (state, value, timing) to determine optimal sale conditions. This multi-parameter analysis approach improves accuracy of value information and timing assessment while maintaining reasonable processing complexity through structured analysis methods.
4Ease of operation
If users are not provided with usage methods to limit deterioration, then the information provided to users is simpler, but the deterioration of batteries continues unchecked
Solution Approach 1:
The system enables self-service by providing users with usage methods that allow them to independently limit battery deterioration. By giving users the knowledge and tools to properly manage their batteries, the system improves deterioration control while keeping the information practical and easy to follow, rather than requiring complex external monitoring and control mechanisms.
