Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If manual methods are used to track construction progress, then the system complexity is low, but the time consumption and efficiency are poor
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces manual mechanical tracking methods with an automated electronic system that uses servers, processors, and communication interfaces to automatically receive, process, and track construction progress data, eliminating the need for manual chart filling and paperwork
Solution Approach 2:
The system automatically generates location matrices, creates task checkers, calculates progress percentages, and sends notifications without requiring manual intervention for each of these operations, allowing the system to serve itself in tracking and reporting project progress
2Loss of information
If manual chart filling is used, then the equipment requirement is minimal, but the time consumption is high and visibility is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The system continuously receives progress data from client devices, automatically calculates current status indicators comparing actual progress against planned progress, and provides real-time feedback through notifications to stakeholders, ensuring continuous visibility of project progress without time-consuming manual reviews
Solution Approach 2:
The system creates digital copies of project progress data in the form of location matrices and task checkers that can be automatically generated, stored, and shared, replacing the need for physical charts and paperwork while providing comprehensive visibility
3Ease of operation
If manual project tracking is used, then the implementation cost is low, but the inconvenience and paperwork burden are significant
Solution Approach 1:
The system integrates multiple functions including receiving progress data, generating location matrices, creating task checkers, calculating progress percentages, and sending notifications through a single integrated platform, eliminating the need for multiple separate manual tracking tools and reducing overall inconvenience
