Solution Overview

Problem

Existing device management approaches are reactive and fail to consider cross-correlations between device components and attributes, leading to inaccurate replacement policies that decrease productivity and increase costs.

Innovation Solution

The use of deep learning techniques to process telemetry data from enterprise devices, generating predictions for device component lifecycle information and automating actions based on these predictions, such as updating replacement policies.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of manufacture

If reactive alert-based approaches are used for device component management, then implementation simplicity is maintained, but prediction accuracy and proactive management capability deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveimplementation simplicityVSAvoidprediction accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by continuously analyzing device telemetry data and generating failure predictions before actual failures occur. The deep learning model processes device attributes and generates predictions about component lifecycle and potential failures, enabling proactive replacement policies to be implemented before failures impact productivity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Measurement precision

If deep learning techniques are implemented for processing device attributes, then prediction accuracy improves, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprediction accuracyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system introduces an intermediary deep learning model that acts as a mediator between raw device telemetry data and replacement policy decisions. The model processes multiple device attributes and cross-correlations, transforming complex data into actionable predictions that inform replacement policies without requiring direct complex analysis in the policy enforcement layer.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements self-service through automated prediction generation and policy recommendation. The deep learning model autonomously analyzes device data, generates failure predictions, and recommends replacement policies without requiring manual intervention for each device assessment, reducing operational complexity despite the sophisticated analysis performed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Measurement precision

If cross-correlations between device components and attributes are considered, then replacement policy accuracy improves, but computational requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvereplacement policy accuracyVSAvoidcomputational requirements
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments the analysis by focusing on specific device attributes and their cross-correlations relevant to component failures, rather than processing all possible data. The deep learning model is trained to identify and process only the most predictive attribute combinations, reducing computational requirements while maintaining high replacement policy accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
