Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If traditional data analytics methods are used with human interaction, then insights can be provided, but the process is time-consuming and inefficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata analytics efficiencyVSAvoidtime for issue identification
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system enables automated self-service through the knowledge graph that automatically correlates operational technology data from multiple systems without human intervention. The cognitive advisor autonomously generates insights and recommends actions, eliminating the need for manual data analysis and significantly improving productivity while reducing time loss.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces manual mechanical analysis processes with an automated knowledge graph system. The knowledge graph automatically correlates data from multiple systems using predefined relationships and rules, substituting human analysts with an automated computational system that processes data faster and more efficiently.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

2Loss of information

If data from multiple systems is analyzed, then comprehensive insights are obtained, but determining inter-relationships becomes difficult and time-consuming

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecompleteness of insightsVSAvoidcomplexity of data correlation
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The knowledge graph serves as an intermediary layer between multiple operational technology systems. It standardizes data from diverse sources into a unified structure with predefined relationships, making it easier to correlate data without directly managing the complexity of inter-system relationships. The cognitive advisor then queries this standardized structure to generate comprehensive insights.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Reliability

If more assets are monitored by a specialized worker, then better asset management is achieved, but the difficulty of identifying and fixing issues increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveasset management qualityVSAvoiddifficulty of issue identification
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDifficulty of detecting and measuring

Solution Approach 1:

The knowledge graph system provides self-service monitoring capabilities that automatically detect and correlate issues across multiple assets without requiring specialized workers to manually analyze each asset. The system autonomously identifies patterns and relationships, making it scalable to monitor large numbers of assets while maintaining high reliability and reducing the difficulty of issue detection.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service
