Solution Overview

Problem

Existing methods for generating engineering projects in industrial plants require significant manual effort and expertise to ensure compliance with resource parameters and customer-specific standards, leading to inefficiencies and potential non-compliance with key performance indicators.

Innovation Solution

A computer-implemented method and system that uses an automation module to automatically generate engineering projects by converting compliance requirements into knowledge morphs through a knowledge graph and transformer autoencoder model, enabling seamless integration and adherence to compliance requirements.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If manual coding of engineering programs is performed, then compliance with resource parameters can be achieved, but significant time and effort are required

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecompliance with resource parametersVSAvoidtime and effort for manual coding
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by automatically generating compliance requirements and translating them into engineering project artifacts before the actual engineering work begins. The automation module pre-processes compliance requirements into structured formats that can be directly used to generate engineering programs, eliminating the need for manual coding and significantly reducing the time and effort required while ensuring compliance with resource parameters.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Reliability

If manual modification of engineering programs is performed to ensure compliance, then compliance requirements are met, but the process becomes expensive and time-consuming

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecompliance with requirementsVSAvoidengineering project generation efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system enables self-service by automatically generating and translating compliance requirements into engineering project artifacts without requiring manual intervention. The automation module independently processes compliance requirements, translates them into appropriate engineering formats, and generates compliant engineering programs, eliminating the need for expensive and time-consuming manual modification processes while maintaining high compliance standards.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Loss of time

If automated generation of engineering projects is implemented, then time and effort are reduced, but ensuring compliance with customer-specific standards becomes challenging

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetime for project generationVSAvoidcompliance with customer-specific standards
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of timeVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system handles parameter changes by allowing flexible configuration of compliance requirements to accommodate different customer-specific standards. The automation module can translate various types of compliance requirements (functional, performance, safety, customer-specific) into appropriate engineering artifacts by adjusting translation parameters and rules, thereby maintaining both speed of generation and compliance reliability across different standards and requirements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
