Solution Overview

Problem

Existing IIoT data storage and processing are centralized in the management platform, leading to poor data management and high pressure on the system, which can cause collapse, especially with massive data generated in industrial production.

Innovation Solution

Implement a data management system with a sensor network platform and management platform structured as general databases and sub-platforms, performing multiple classifications and storage based on data type and function types to distribute data processing and storage efficiently.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If data storage and processing are centralized in the management platform, then data management is simplified, but system pressure increases and reliability decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata management simplicityVSAvoidsystem stability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the centralized management platform into multiple distributed edge computing nodes. Each node independently processes and stores data locally, eliminating the single-point bottleneck. The segmentation divides the system into hierarchical levels (edge nodes, regional centers, cloud platform), where each level handles appropriate data processing tasks, thereby maintaining operational simplicity while distributing system pressure to enhance reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a spatial dimension to data management by deploying edge computing nodes across multiple geographic locations and organizational levels. This transforms the traditional single-dimension centralized architecture into a multi-dimensional distributed architecture, allowing data to be processed and stored at multiple spatial points simultaneously, thus reducing pressure on any single point while maintaining manageable access through hierarchical organization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

2Loss of information

If massive amounts of industrial production data are processed centrally, then comprehensive data analysis is achieved, but processing pressure and energy consumption increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata analysis completenessVSAvoiddata processing energy consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts data processing functions from the centralized cloud platform and places them at the edge computing nodes closest to the data sources. This extraction allows local preprocessing, filtering, and initial analysis to occur at the edge, reducing the volume of data that needs to be transmitted and processed centrally. Comprehensive analysis is maintained through hierarchical aggregation, where only essential and aggregated data moves to higher levels, thereby preserving analytical completeness while significantly reducing energy consumption.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements preliminary data processing and filtering at the edge computing nodes before data is transmitted to higher levels. This preliminary action includes local data validation, preprocessing, and aggregation, which reduces the burden on centralized systems. By performing these actions in advance at the source, the system maintains comprehensive analysis capabilities while minimizing the energy required for centralized processing and data transmission.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Ease of operation

If data is stored in a single centralized database, then data access is simplified, but data retrieval efficiency decreases under high load

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata access simplicityVSAvoiddata retrieval efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the centralized database into multiple distributed data storage nodes organized in a hierarchical structure. Each edge computing node maintains local data storage, and data is distributed across regional centers and cloud platforms based on access patterns and data types. This segmentation allows simultaneous access to different data portions across multiple nodes, maintaining simple access interfaces through unified naming conventions while dramatically improving retrieval efficiency under high load through parallel access capabilities.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
