Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The complexity of building automation projects requires extensive manual input and coordination among different experts, leading to inefficiencies, increased costs, and engineering faults due to the lack of consistent documentation and the need to start from scratch for each new project.
Innovation Solution
An automated computer-implemented method generates a building automation project by processing structural information using computer vision, machine learning, and data fusion to create a semantic model, which is then extended with equipment and application information, reducing manual input and enabling efficient project generation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If manual processing and coordination of different experts is used for building automation projects, then comprehensive project coverage is achieved, but project complexity and time consumption increase significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces manual mechanical processing with automated computer vision and machine learning systems. The computing unit automatically extracts equipment information from structural information using image recognition and data processing algorithms, eliminating the need for manual coordination among experts while maintaining comprehensive project coverage.
Solution Approach 2:
The system enables self-service automation where the computing unit independently processes structural information, generates equipment information, and creates building automation projects without requiring manual intervention. The automated extraction and generation processes serve themselves, reducing human labor while maintaining project quality.
2Reliability
If manual processing and coordination of different experts is used for building automation projects, then comprehensive project coverage is achieved, but time consumption and costs increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces manual mechanical processing with automated computer vision and machine learning systems. The computing unit automatically extracts equipment information from structural information using image recognition and data processing algorithms, eliminating the need for manual coordination among experts while maintaining comprehensive project coverage.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary automated extraction of equipment information from structural information before project generation. By pre-processing structural data to extract equipment details automatically, the system prepares all necessary information in advance, significantly reducing the time required for actual project creation and improving overall productivity.
3Adaptability or versatility
If each new project starts from scratch without reusing previous work, then project customization is achieved, but work efficiency and resource utilization decrease
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements automated copying and reuse of equipment information and project configurations. The computing unit extracts equipment information from structural information and can reuse previously processed data and templates for new projects, eliminating the need to start from scratch while maintaining customization through automated adaptation to specific project requirements.
