Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If manual processing steps are used in current production methods, then ease of operation is maintained, but productivity is reduced and manufacturing precision is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The building element is divided into multiple pre-fabricated components (support structure, slab-shaped components, integrated elements) that are manufactured separately in modular units and then assembled. This segmentation enables parallel production processes, increasing overall productivity while reducing manual labor requirements for each individual component.
Solution Approach 2:
Components are pre-assembled and pre-positioned during the manufacturing process before final assembly at the construction site. The support structure and slab-shaped components are prepared in advance with predetermined configurations, reducing on-site manual work and accelerating the overall production and assembly process.
2Adaptability or versatility
If inflexible production methods are used, then device complexity is reduced, but adaptability is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The production system employs universal modules and standardized interfaces that can accommodate various building element configurations. The same basic manufacturing equipment and assembly procedures can produce different types of building elements by changing the input components and assembly sequences, providing design flexibility without requiring completely different production lines for each variant.
Solution Approach 2:
The production method allows for dynamic adjustment of component configurations, sizes, and arrangements during the manufacturing process. The support structure and slab-shaped components can be adapted to different specifications through programmable positioning systems and adjustable assembly parameters, enabling versatile production while maintaining a relatively simple base equipment structure.
3Ease of operation
If shallow integration of components is used, then ease of manufacture is improved, but integration depth is reduced requiring high manual effort during assembly
Solution Approach 1:
Multiple functional components are merged into integrated units during manufacturing. The slab-shaped components are combined with support structure elements and other building components into single pre-assembled units with predetermined connections. This merging reduces the number of separate assembly operations required at the construction site, decreasing manual effort while increasing the degree of automation in the manufacturing process.
Solution Approach 2:
Components are nested within each other during assembly, with smaller elements positioned within or between larger structural components. The support structure, slab-shaped components, and integrated elements are arranged in nested configurations that simplify handling and assembly operations, reducing manual effort while enabling complex integrated designs through automated positioning systems.

AI summary
The invention relates to a method for producing multi-part building elements comprising a plurality of supporting elements, comprising the following operating steps: Positioning supporting elements on a work table and fastening them to one another in such a manner that a support structure is created; providing and depositing a slab-shaped component on the supporting building element, wherein the slab-shaped component is deposited in such a manner that the support structure is at least approximately covered on the side to be deposited; and fastening the slab-shaped component to the supporting elements. This makes it possible for the first time to provide an improved method with a higher flexibility and/or with a greater integration depth of components, for producing multi-part building elements.
