Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If conventional manufacturing methods are used with observation of drawings or still images, then the design process is simple, but the customer cannot accurately understand the motion and operation of the conveyance device
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a video copy of the conveyance device's operation using a virtual model that replicates the actual device's motion and behavior. This video copy is then presented to the customer during the specification determination phase, allowing them to visually understand the device's operation without requiring complex physical prototypes or detailed technical explanations.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent performs the operation confirmation action preliminarily by generating and reviewing video footage of the conveyance device's operation before the actual manufacturing and installation takes place. This allows customers to confirm their requirements and understand the device's motion in advance, preventing misunderstandings and reducing the need for post-installation corrections.
2Manufacturing precision
If the conveyance device is manufactured and installed using traditional methods, then installation is completed, but numerous correction operations are needed after installation
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a feedback mechanism where the customer reviews video footage of the conveyance device's operation and provides corrections or confirmations during the specification determination phase. This feedback loop allows for refining the device's operation parameters before manufacturing, ensuring higher precision and reducing the need for post-installation corrections.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent performs operation confirmation and correction actions preliminarily during the specification determination phase by reviewing video footage before the device is manufactured and installed. This preliminary validation ensures that the device will operate according to customer expectations, significantly reducing the time needed for post-installation corrections and accelerating the overall delivery process.
3Ease of operation
If drawings or still images are used for specification determination, then the process is straightforward, but the customer cannot visualize the actual motion and operation
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a video copy that captures the motion and operation of the conveyance device, replacing static drawings or images. This video copy maintains ease of presentation while effectively conveying dynamic behavior, allowing customers to visualize actual motion without requiring complex interactive simulations or physical demonstrations.
Data Source
AI summary
A method for manufacturing a conveyance device capable of accurately completing the conveyance device imagined by a customer in a relatively short time. One or a plurality of operation confirmation devices that visually confirms an operation of the conveyance device is used. The method includes exhibiting a desired operation of the conveyance device in a video by the operation confirmation device and confirming a required operation of the conveyance device in a specification confirmation step, inputting data for realizing the required operation or realizing an operation similar to the required operation to the operation confirmation device, exhibiting the operation of the conveyance device in a video based on the data that has been input in a virtual operation confirmation step, and inputting the data to an actual individual controller of the conveyance unit in a data input step.
