Guidance Display Templates for Abnormality Cause Maintenance
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The existing systems require significant time and effort to create or change guidance screens for abnormality causes in production facilities, necessitating a more efficient method for maintaining guidance display.
Innovation Solution
A guidance display method that utilizes a guidance definition to associate causes of abnormalities with guidance information, allowing dynamic updates and changes without modifying the underlying control system, using a monitoring screen with a predetermined template and highlighting specific portions based on causality calculations.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If guidance screens are created or changed by directly describing guidance for each content, then the guidance can be displayed accurately, but the time and effort required for maintenance increases significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The guidance screen is divided into multiple regions, each associated with a specific cause. Instead of creating separate screens for each cause, the system segments the single screen into reusable regions that can be dynamically activated based on the detected cause, reducing maintenance effort while maintaining accuracy
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses templates that can be copied and reused across different guidance screens. By defining regions as reusable template elements, the system eliminates the need to recreate guidance content for each cause, significantly reducing maintenance time while preserving display accuracy
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple guidance screens are created for different causes, then comprehensive guidance can be provided, but the complexity of screen management increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a universal template system where a single guidance screen structure serves multiple purposes by activating different regions based on the cause. This multi-functional approach eliminates the need for separate screens for each cause, reducing management complexity while maintaining comprehensive guidance coverage
Solution Approach 2:
The guidance screen dynamically adjusts which regions are displayed based on the detected cause. Instead of managing multiple static screens, the system uses a dynamic single screen that adapts its content based on the situation, reducing complexity while providing comprehensive guidance for all possible causes

AI summary
To facilitate maintenance of guidance displayed in accordance with an abnormality or the like occurring in a production facility. The guidance display method performed by one or more computers includes acquiring process data output by a sensor included in a production facility and providing a user terminal with a monitoring screen for monitoring a production process performed by the production facility, the monitoring screen including the process data, calculating a degree of causality for each of a plurality of candidates for causes of an abnormality or a sign thereof by using the process data and a predetermined determination model, specifying the cause of the calculated degree of causality satisfying a predetermined condition, and outputting guidance information corresponding to the specified cause to the monitoring screen by using a guidance definition storing a plurality of combinations of the causes of the abnormality or the sign thereof and guidance information associated with the causes. Furthermore, the guidance information can be changed by updating the guidance definition.
