Building Face Material Printed Indications for Marking Efficiency
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The existing method of printing marks on building face materials requires significant time and labor, as each material must be removed, marked, and then re-piled, leading to inefficiencies in the manufacturing process.
Innovation Solution
The method involves printing marks at predetermined intervals on the building face materials at an upstream location of the production line, before the rough cutting process, ensuring that the first printed indication is marked at an allowable distance from the end side and subsequent marks are printed along a straight line parallel to the long side.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Manufacturing precision
If marks are printed on building face materials after they are removed from the piled materials one by one, then the marks can be accurately positioned, but significant time and labor are required for the printing process
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by printing the marks on the building face materials while they are still in the piled state, before removal from the pile. This allows the marking process to be performed in advance on materials that are already positioned, eliminating the need for time-consuming individual removal and marking operations while maintaining accurate mark positioning through the predetermined printing locations on the piled materials.
2Ease of operation
If marks are printed on building face materials after removal from the pile, then each material can be marked individually, but the process requires repeated removal and re-piling operations
Solution Approach 1:
The patent performs the marking action in advance while the building face materials are still piled, before any removal operations are required. This preliminary marking eliminates the need for repeated removal and re-piling cycles, as the marks are already in place on the materials when they are needed for installation.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent merges the marking operation with the piled state of the materials, combining the storage function of the pile with the marking function. By printing marks on materials while they remain in the piled configuration, the process combines multiple operations (storage, marking, and preparation for installation) into a single efficient workflow, eliminating the need for separate removal and re-piling steps.
3Manufacturing precision
If marks are printed at predetermined intervals on building face materials, then fastening can be guided accurately, but the printing process becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses preliminary action by pre-printing marks at predetermined intervals on the building face materials while they are in the piled state. This advance preparation establishes accurate fastening position references before the materials are removed for installation, simplifying the on-site fastening process while maintaining high positioning accuracy through the predetermined mark placement.

AI summary
A building face material with printed indications is provided, where, even when any part of the building face material is cut in a cutting process in a manufacturing process, each first printed indication is marked at an allowable distance from an end side of the building face material that is rectangular in a plan view, and printed indications are preliminarily marked at predetermined intervals, in a given column.The building face material 10 with printed indications includes printed indication strings each including one string group that is repeated in cycles, the string group being formed, in a plan view, on a rectangular flat face of the building face material, and the strip group consisting of multiple printed indications that are arranged, at regular first intervals, in a predetermined order along at least one straight line driven to a first side 11 or a second side 12 of a rectangle.
