Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In mass production settings, existing control methods for optimizing product characteristics are often inefficient due to reliance on intuition or classical control theories, leading to issues like overshoot and hunting phenomena, and Bayesian optimization methods face challenges with constrained optimization and high computational complexity.
Innovation Solution

Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If intuition or experience approach is used by site worker, then ease of operation is improved, but manufacturing precision deteriorates due to dependency on worker ability
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs self-optimization by automatically acquiring control result data, calculating evaluation values through Bayesian optimization, and determining optimal control conditions without requiring manual intervention from site workers. The evaluation device independently executes the optimization process, eliminating dependency on worker ability while maintaining ease of operation.
2Ease of operation
If classical control or modern control theory is used, then ease of operation is improved, but manufacturing precision deteriorates due to overshoot and hunting phenomena
Solution Approach 1:
The system changes the optimization approach from traditional control theory parameters to Bayesian optimization parameters. Instead of adjusting control parameters through trial and error, the system calculates evaluation values based on probability distributions and acquisition functions, fundamentally changing the optimization mechanism to eliminate overshoot and hunting phenomena.
3Manufacturing precision
If Bayesian optimization is used, then manufacturing precision is improved, but device complexity increases due to computational complexity
Solution Approach 1:
The Bayesian optimization process is segmented into distinct functional modules: data acquisition module, evaluation value calculation module, and optimal condition determination module. Each module handles a specific aspect of the optimization process, making the complex system more manageable and easier to implement while maintaining high manufacturing precision.
4Productivity
If conventional control methods are used, then productivity is maintained, but manufacturing precision deteriorates leading to production loss
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements a feedback mechanism where control result data is continuously acquired and used to update the Bayesian optimization model. The evaluation values are recalculated based on new data, and optimal control conditions are continuously refined, creating a closed-loop system that improves manufacturing precision while maintaining productivity through automated optimization.
