IIoT Accessory Inventory Control for Real-Time Supply Devices
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing intelligent manufacturing systems face challenges in efficiently and accurately regulating the inventory of accessories for automatic production lines, leading to production disruptions due to insufficient or excessive accessory supplies, caused by the complexity and large volume of data processing required for real-time monitoring and management of multiple accessory supply devices.
Innovation Solution
An industrial Internet of Things (IoT) system comprising a user platform, service platform, management platform, and sensor network platform, with each platform having independent sub-platforms for data processing and transmission, allowing for real-time data collection, processing, and control of accessory supply devices to ensure adequate inventory levels.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If real-time monitoring and management of multiple accessory supply devices is implemented, then inventory accuracy and production continuity are improved, but data processing complexity and system burden increase significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments the management of accessory supply devices by creating a one-to-one correspondence between management sub-platforms and service sub-platforms. Each management sub-platform independently manages a specific accessory supply device, dividing the complex data processing task into multiple manageable units. This segmentation reduces the burden on any single platform while maintaining comprehensive real-time monitoring capability across all devices.
2Productivity
If the count of accessory supply devices increases to meet production needs, then production capacity is improved, but the difficulty of data collection and processing increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system establishes a universal data collection and management architecture where each management sub-platform and service sub-platform pair can handle any accessory supply device through standardized interfaces and protocols. This multi-functional design allows the system to scale to any number of devices without increasing complexity, as each new device is managed through the same standardized process.
Solution Approach 2:
The system introduces management sub-platforms as intermediary components between the accessory supply devices and the service sub-platforms. These intermediaries collect, process, and manage data from multiple devices, reducing the direct data collection burden on the service platforms and simplifying the overall data flow architecture.
3Ease of operation
If independent service platform and management platform are used for each accessory supply device, then real-time separate control is achieved, but system structure complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments the control architecture into independent management sub-platforms and service sub-platforms, where each pair handles a specific accessory supply device. This segmentation enables independent real-time control of each device while maintaining a systematic overall structure through standardized interfaces and one-to-one correspondence between platforms.

AI summary
The present disclosure provides an industrial Internet of Things for regulating an inventory of accessories and control methods. The industrial Internet of Things comprises a user platform, a service platform, a management platform, a sensor network platform, and an object platform interacting in sequence. The service platform and the management platform both use an independent arrangement, and the sensor network platform uses a centralized arrangement. The object platform is configured to include different accessory supply devices, each of which is configured with a data collector. The data collector may obtain accessories storage and consumption corresponding to the accessories supply devices and upload the collecting data in real-time. The independent service platform and the independent management platform may perform data processing and data transmission separately, and different data processing parameters may be set for different accessories supply devices, thereby regulating the inventories of the accessories of the different accessories supply devices.
