Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If multiple cartridges with different titanium dioxide contents are used to achieve customized coverage levels, then the adaptability to different user needs is improved, but the device complexity increases due to multiple cartridge groups
Solution Approach 1:
The cartridge system is segmented into multiple groups (first group with higher titanium dioxide content for high coverage, second group with lower titanium dioxide content for low coverage). This segmentation allows the device to offer customized coverage levels by selecting appropriate cartridges from different groups, thereby improving adaptability while managing complexity through organized categorization.
Solution Approach 2:
Different cartridges are assigned different local qualities in terms of titanium dioxide content based on their intended coverage level. The first group contains cartridges with higher titanium dioxide content optimized for high coverage needs, while the second group contains cartridges with lower titanium dioxide content optimized for low coverage needs. This local quality differentiation enables precise customization for various user requirements.
2Manufacturing precision
If the system determines target cartridges based on both coverage level and target color, then the manufacturing precision of customized cosmetics is improved, but the information processing complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary action by pre-categorizing cartridges into groups based on their titanium dioxide content and coverage level characteristics. Before the actual cosmetic manufacturing process, the controller is pre-configured with information about which cartridges belong to which groups and their respective properties. This preliminary organization simplifies the subsequent decision-making process when determining target cartridges based on coverage level and color requirements.
Solution Approach 2:
The cartridge selection process is made dynamic by allowing the controller to adaptively choose from different cartridge groups based on the specific coverage level requirement. The system can dynamically switch between selecting from the first group (high coverage) or second group (low coverage) depending on user needs, while also considering the target color. This dynamic selection capability improves manufacturing precision without requiring a completely static, over-engineered control system.
