Solution Overview

Problem

In manufacturing environments, identifying abnormal data nodes in data transmission systems is challenging, leading to delayed troubleshooting and potential data loss due to the complexity of data collection and transmission processes, making it difficult for users to quickly determine which equipment is experiencing issues.

Innovation Solution

A monitoring method and system that includes data collection, analysis, and monitoring terminals to detect abnormalities by providing distinct messages when data is not received from either the analysis or collection equipment, allowing for quick identification of faulty nodes and facilitating timely maintenance.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of information

If data transmission monitoring is implemented through multiple data nodes, then data collection comprehensiveness is improved, but troubleshooting time increases and system stability decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata collection comprehensivenessVSAvoidtroubleshooting time
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-configuring each data node with unique identification information and establishing a monitoring mechanism that proactively tracks data transmission status. When abnormality occurs, the system immediately identifies which node failed to transmit data, eliminating the need for manual investigation and significantly reducing troubleshooting time while maintaining comprehensive monitoring coverage

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements feedback by creating a closed-loop monitoring system where each data node's transmission status is continuously tracked and reported. The monitoring terminal receives feedback from each node about data reception status, enabling real-time identification of abnormal nodes and facilitating rapid response to maintain system stability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Loss of information

If data transmission monitoring is implemented through multiple data nodes, then data collection comprehensiveness is improved, but system stability decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata collection comprehensivenessVSAvoidsystem stability
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

By pre-configuring each data node with unique identification information and establishing a monitoring mechanism before abnormalities occur, the system can immediately identify which node failed when problems arise. This preliminary setup maintains comprehensive monitoring coverage while enabling rapid fault isolation and recovery, thereby improving system stability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The closed-loop feedback mechanism continuously monitors data transmission status from each node and immediately reports abnormalities to the monitoring terminal. This real-time feedback enables rapid detection and response to failures, preventing cascading effects and maintaining overall system stability despite individual node failures

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Measurement precision

If manual investigation and troubleshooting are performed, then accurate fault identification is achieved, but productivity decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefault identification accuracyVSAvoidtroubleshooting efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies self-service by enabling the monitoring system to automatically identify abnormal data nodes through pre-configured identification information and status tracking. The system autonomously determines which node failed to transmit data without requiring manual investigation, thereby maintaining accurate fault identification while significantly improving troubleshooting efficiency and overall productivity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

AI summary

A monitoring method for data transmission includes the following steps. Collection data is provided by data collection equipment when determining that equipment data has been received from an equipment terminal. Analysis data is provided by analysis equipment when determining that the collection data has been received from the data collection equipment. A data transmission state is displayed on a monitoring terminal when determining that the analysis data has been received from the analysis equipment. A first abnormal message is provided in response to the analysis data not having been received, and the data transmission state includes the first abnormal message indicating that the analysis equipment is abnormal. A second abnormal message is provided in response to the collection data not having been received, and the data transmission state includes the second abnormal message indicating that the collection equipment is abnormal.
