Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional methods for indicating machine failures in manufacturing sites are inadequate for quick response, leading to increased losses due to breakdowns.

Innovation Solution

An error log list and alarm service platform that includes an execution terminal and a monitoring server, which collects and analyzes operation state and error information, provides real-time alarms, and adjusts maintenance schedules based on error correlation and frequency analysis.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of time

If conventional alarm methods (red light or siren) are used to indicate machine failures, then the system is simple and easy to implement, but the response time is slow and losses increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresponse timeVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of timeVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments error handling into multiple levels: error detection at the machine level, error logging and classification at the server level, and targeted alarm generation based on error patterns. This segmentation allows complex error analysis without requiring complex alarm hardware at each machine.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

An error log list server acts as an intermediary between machines and alarm systems. The server collects error logs from multiple machines, analyzes patterns, and generates alarms only when necessary. This intermediary layer reduces response time by pre-processing error data while keeping the alarm system itself relatively simple.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Reliability

If real-time error monitoring and analysis systems are implemented, then response time improves and losses reduce, but system complexity and implementation cost increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveerror detection capabilityVSAvoidmonitoring system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The error log list server performs multiple functions: collecting error logs from various machines, storing error data, analyzing error patterns, generating alarms, and providing error history queries. This multi-functionality reduces the need for separate specialized systems while maintaining high reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The system automatically collects error logs, analyzes patterns, and generates alarms without requiring constant human intervention. The server autonomously monitors error frequencies, identifies patterns, and triggers alarms when predefined conditions are met, reducing operational complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Measurement precision

If detailed error logging and pattern analysis are performed, then maintenance scheduling accuracy improves, but data processing complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemaintenance scheduling accuracyVSAvoiddata processing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary error logging and pattern analysis continuously in the background, preparing maintenance recommendations before actual maintenance is needed. Error frequencies and patterns are pre-calculated and stored, allowing quick generation of accurate maintenance schedules when required.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
