Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If machine learning algorithms are used to predict controller failure, then reliability is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
A prediction platform is introduced as an intermediary system between controllers and users. This platform collects operational data from multiple controllers, processes it through machine learning algorithms, and generates predictions about future failures. The intermediary handles the complexity of ML model training, data processing, and prediction generation, while providing simplified outputs to users through user devices.
Solution Approach 2:
The prediction platform performs self-service by automatically collecting operational data from controllers, training machine learning models using historical data, generating predictions without human intervention, and transmitting results to users. The system autonomously manages the entire prediction workflow, reducing the need for manual configuration and maintenance.
2Loss of time
If operational data is collected and analyzed using machine learning, then loss of time is reduced, but use of energy increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by continuously collecting and analyzing operational data to predict failures before they occur. Machine learning models are trained in advance using historical data, and the system generates predictions proactively, allowing users to take corrective actions before actual failures happen, thereby reducing downtime.
Solution Approach 2:
The prediction platform implements feedback loops where prediction results are transmitted to users, who can then take corrective actions. The system continuously monitors operational data and adjusts predictions based on new information, creating a closed-loop system that improves over time and optimizes energy usage by focusing analysis on controllers showing signs of degradation.

AI summary
Techniques for failure prediction of controllers are disclosed. For example, a method comprises collecting data corresponding to operation of a plurality of controllers from one or more devices, and predicting, using one or more machine learning algorithms, at least one of degradation and failure of one or more controllers of the plurality of controllers based, at least in part, on the data corresponding to the operation of the plurality of controllers. Using the one or more machine learning algorithms, one or more corrective actions to prevent the at least one of the degradation and the failure of the one or more controllers are identified. Instructions comprising the one or more corrective actions are generated and transmitted to at least one user device.
