Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If fixed maintenance technicians are hired to carry out maintenance in established maintenance equipment, then the maintenance equipment can be used by fixed technicians, but the service efficiency is low due to long idle time and inability to serve multiple equipment simultaneously
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a shared maintenance equipment system where multiple technicians from different companies can access and use the same maintenance equipment through a digital platform. This multi-functional approach allows equipment to serve multiple users and purposes, eliminating idle time and increasing overall service efficiency without requiring each technician to have dedicated equipment.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a virtual copy of the physical maintenance equipment through digital twins and blockchain-based digital certificates. These digital representations enable multiple technicians to interact with, book, and manage equipment usage remotely and simultaneously, allowing the system to handle multiple service requests without physical constraints, thereby reducing idle time and improving productivity.
2Quantity of substance
If a single investment party purchases a large amount of maintenance equipment, then the equipment can be established, but the investment amount is large and the investment threshold is high
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the ownership and usage rights of maintenance equipment into shareable units that can be accessed by multiple technicians and companies. Instead of one party owning all equipment, the system divides access rights among multiple stakeholders through digital certificates and blockchain-based authorization, reducing the investment burden on any single party while maintaining adequate equipment quantity.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent merges the resources and investments of multiple maintenance companies into a shared pool of equipment. By combining investments from multiple parties and creating a collaborative ecosystem where equipment serves multiple users, the system achieves adequate equipment quantity while distributing the financial burden, thereby reducing the investment threshold for individual participants.
3Quantity of substance
If multiple investment parties make investments on maintenance equipment, then the investment threshold is reduced, but the income sharing management lacks transparency which reduces investor enthusiasm
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a blockchain-based feedback system that provides real-time, transparent tracking of income generation and distribution among multiple investors. The system automatically records and verifies revenue data from equipment usage and distributes income according to pre-defined smart contracts, giving investors continuous visibility into their returns and ensuring fair, transparent sharing, thereby maintaining investor enthusiasm.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a blockchain-based intermediary system that acts as a neutral mediator between multiple investors and the maintenance equipment operations. This intermediary automatically manages income collection, verification, and distribution according to transparent rules encoded in smart contracts, eliminating manual manipulation and ensuring that all investors receive their fair share, thus maintaining trust and enthusiasm despite multiple investment parties.
4Ease of operation
If fixed maintenance technicians are used, then the maintenance equipment can operate, but customers need to queue up and wait which reduces service efficiency
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transforms the static, fixed-technician model into a dynamic system where equipment assignment and technician allocation are flexible and responsive to real-time demand. The digital platform continuously optimizes equipment booking and technician scheduling based on customer requests, equipment availability, and technician locations, enabling customers to access equipment quickly without queuing, thereby reducing waiting time while maintaining ease of operation.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses digital twins and virtual representations of maintenance equipment to enable remote booking, monitoring, and management. Customers can interact with digital copies of equipment to reserve time slots and track status, while the system coordinates physical equipment allocation dynamically. This virtual layer eliminates the need for customers to physically queue or wait, as all arrangements are made digitally in advance, reducing waiting time while maintaining user-friendly access.
Data Source
AI summary
The present application discloses a maintenance equipment management method, maintenance equipment management system and data management server, this method comprises: receiving, via a data management server, a transaction request of using a maintenance equipment from a first user and calling a usage smart contract to grant a permission of usage of the maintenance equipment to the first user according to the transaction request; calling the usage smart contract to send a transaction payment request to the first user according to transaction information when the first user finishes using the maintenance equipment; performing a sharing according to the transaction sharing rule via the data management server when the payment transaction is finished by the first user; and receiving the transaction information submitted by the data management server and registering the transaction information in a block chain via the block chain node device.
