Solution Overview

Problem

In large factories, production line devices of the same type often manufacture with different quality due to varying processing parameters, making it labor-intensive and time-consuming to find and update optimal manufacturing parameters across all devices, which affects product quality and manufacturing efficiency.

Innovation Solution

An industrial IoT system with a dual independent platform structure, comprising a user platform, service platform, management platform, and sensor network platform, that continuously executes and updates manufacturing parameters across sub-production line devices from a main production line device, optimizing parameter settings and improving product quality through centralized data processing and independent data transmission channels.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Manufacturing precision

If manufacturing parameters are manually extracted and updated across multiple production line devices, then product quality can be improved, but the workload increases significantly and the process becomes time-consuming

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveproduct qualityVSAvoidparameter update time

Core Design Contradiction:

Manufacturing precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system enables automatic self-updating of manufacturing parameters across production line devices. The main production line device automatically transmits optimized parameters to sub-production line devices through the dual-platform architecture, eliminating the need for manual parameter extraction and updating, thus resolving the contradiction between improving product quality and reducing time consumption.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary optimization of manufacturing parameters on the main production line device before automatically propagating these optimized parameters to sub-production line devices. This preliminary action ensures that all devices use optimized parameters without requiring manual intervention, thereby improving product quality while minimizing the time required for parameter updates.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action

2Manufacturing precision

If manufacturing parameters are manually extracted and updated across multiple production line devices, then product quality can be improved, but the workload becomes huge and labor-intensive

Engineering Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

Inventive Principle:

Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system replaces manual mechanical operations with automated electronic data transmission. The dual-platform architecture enables automatic parameter optimization and transmission, substituting manual labor with computational algorithms and automated communication protocols, thereby reducing workload while improving product quality.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

3Device complexity

If a single platform is used for data processing and transmission, then system structure is simple, but computational pressure on the platform increases significantly

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:

Device complexityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The system divides the data processing and transmission functions into two independent platforms: a service platform for centralized data reception and processing, and a management platform for independent data transmission and device control. This segmentation distributes computational pressure across multiple platforms while maintaining manageable system complexity through clear functional separation.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The service platform acts as an intermediary between user input and the management platform, performing preliminary data processing and filtering before transmission. This intermediary role reduces the computational burden on the management platform by pre-processing data and only transmitting essential information, thereby distributing computational pressure while maintaining system structure simplicity.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
