Current systems face difficulties in efficiently integrating multiple machine learning models and algorithms with manufacturing systems, requiring custom data collection plans and software deployment, which leads to time-consuming processes and resource consumption, resulting in manufacturing delays and inefficiencies.
Innovation Solution
A communication node is introduced to interface between evaluation systems and manufacturing systems, querying attributes needed from the manufacturing system, generating a monitoring device, and registering it to collect specific data, allowing for real-time data retrieval and feedback generation without requiring custom software deployment on the manufacturing system.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If custom data collection plans are deployed for each machine learning model, then measurement precision is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The communication node is designed as a universal interface that can serve multiple machine learning models and evaluation systems simultaneously. It provides a standardized method for querying attributes and generating data collection plans, eliminating the need for separate custom software deployments for each model while maintaining the precision required by each specific application.
Solution Approach 2:
The communication node acts as an intermediary between the manufacturing system and evaluation systems. It translates diverse data requirements from multiple machine learning models into standardized attribute queries, simplifying the interface complexity while preserving the specific measurement precision needs of each model through parameter customization.
2Measurement precision
If multiple custom data collection plans are deployed, then measurement precision is improved, but loss of time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The communication node pre-configures standardized attribute schemas and data collection templates that can be quickly instantiated for different machine learning models. This preliminary preparation eliminates the time-consuming custom software deployment process while maintaining the ability to generate precise, model-specific data collection plans when needed.
Solution Approach 2:
Instead of deploying different software systems for each model, the communication node uses parameter changes within a unified system. It dynamically adjusts query parameters, attribute selections, and data collection configurations based on the specific requirements of each machine learning model, achieving model-specific precision without the time cost of custom deployments.
3Adaptability or versatility
If custom software is deployed for each algorithm, then adaptability is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The communication node provides a universal adaptation layer that interfaces with multiple evaluation systems and machine learning models through standardized protocols. It maintains adaptability by allowing flexible configuration of attribute queries and data collection parameters while avoiding the complexity of custom software integration for each model.
