Automated Device Tracking for Shared Maintenance Tools
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The management efficiency of shared maintenance equipment and tools in vehicle maintenance plants is low due to reliance on labor management, leading to potential loss and theft, as well as increased management costs.
Innovation Solution
A device management method and system that utilizes a sensing terminal and device management server to monitor and record the link state information of devices at different times, determine abnormal usage states, and mark usage states accordingly, including granting usage permissions, sending warnings, and prompting users to return devices to designated areas.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If devices are guarded by a keeper, then device security is improved, but management cost increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the mechanical/manual guarding system with an automated electronic monitoring system comprising sensing terminals, GPS locators, and a management server. The sensing terminals continuously detect device status and location, automatically transmitting data to the server which then sends alerts to users' mobile devices, eliminating the need for human keepers while maintaining security.
Solution Approach 2:
The system enables self-service monitoring where the device itself (through integrated sensing terminals) automatically reports its status and location. The user receives direct notifications about device anomalies or unauthorized movement, allowing them to manage their own devices without requiring external guardians.
2Quantity of substance
If devices are not guarded, then management cost is reduced, but device loss and theft increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces expensive human guarding with an automated electronic monitoring system that provides continuous surveillance at minimal operational cost. The sensing terminals and server infrastructure replace the need for human keepers while maintaining or improving security effectiveness.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements real-time feedback loops where sensing terminals continuously monitor device status and location, automatically transmit data to the management server, and trigger immediate alerts to users when anomalies are detected. This continuous feedback enables rapid response to potential theft or loss without requiring constant human presence.
3Loss of information
If labor management is used, then device tracking is possible, but management efficiency is low
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces manual labor-based tracking with an automated electronic system. Sensing terminals equipped with GPS locators automatically capture and transmit device location data, while the management server processes information and generates reports, eliminating the need for manual tracking efforts and significantly improving management efficiency.
Solution Approach 2:
The system provides continuous automated monitoring and tracking of devices without interruption. The sensing terminals operate continuously, constantly updating device status and location information, ensuring uninterrupted tracking capability that surpasses manual monitoring methods.
