Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If construction management is performed manually without automated calculation systems, then labor flexibility is maintained, but productivity is reduced due to labor shortages and aging workforce
Solution Approach 1:
The construction management system performs self-service by automatically calculating construction amounts, estimating costs, and generating construction plans without requiring manual intervention. The system acquires landform data, automatically processes it through calculation units, and outputs management information, enabling the system to serve itself and eliminate dependency on manual labor for these tasks.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces manual mechanical calculation methods with automated computer-based calculation systems. The construction amount calculation unit, cost estimation unit, and construction plan generation unit substitute human manual computation, transforming the mechanical system of manual calculation into an automated information processing system that enhances productivity.
2Measurement precision
If detailed construction amount calculations are performed manually, then measurement precision is improved, but loss of time increases due to manual computation
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces manual calculation mechanisms with automated computer-based calculation systems. The construction amount calculation unit automatically computes precise construction amounts by processing landform data through algorithms, substituting manual mechanical calculation with electronic computation that achieves both high precision and rapid processing.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary action by pre-calculating construction amounts and storing them in a database before actual construction planning. The construction amount calculation unit computes these values in advance based on landform data, so that when construction plans need to be generated, the precise measurements are already available, eliminating the need for time-consuming manual recalculation.
3Productivity
If construction plans are optimized for multiple parameters (cost, time, resources), then productivity is enhanced, but device complexity increases due to multiple calculation units
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple calculation functions into an integrated construction management system. The construction amount calculation unit, cost estimation unit, and construction plan generation unit work together as a unified system, sharing data and coordinating their operations. This merging allows the system to optimize multiple parameters simultaneously while presenting a cohesive interface that manages the underlying complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The construction management system exhibits multi-functionality by performing diverse tasks including landform data acquisition, construction amount calculation, cost estimation, and construction plan generation. This universal system handles multiple functions that would otherwise require separate specialized systems, enhancing productivity while consolidating complexity into a single multi-functional platform.
