Innovation Solution

An industrial internet of things (IIoT) system for intelligent production control, comprising a user platform, service platform, management platform, and sensor network platform, which interact to uniformly receive, process, and send data, enabling centralized control and monitoring of production lines, with an abnormal determination model to assess device and product quality.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Manufacturing precision

If existing intelligent manufacturing technology is applied to specific product production lines or nodes, then control precision for that specific line is improved, but universal applicability deteriorates and repeated development occurs

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontrol precisionVSAvoiduniversal applicability
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a unified control platform that integrates multiple production lines and nodes into a single system. The platform uses standardized data collection interfaces, unified data processing algorithms, and common control strategies that can be applied across different production lines, eliminating the need for separate development for each specific line while maintaining precise control capabilities.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The control system is divided into modular components including data collection modules, data processing modules, and control execution modules. Each module can be independently configured and deployed for different production lines, allowing the system to maintain universal applicability while adapting to specific line requirements through modular assembly.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Productivity

If centralized layout is used for service platform, management platform, and sensor network platform, then data processing efficiency is improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata processing efficiencyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines the service platform, management platform, and sensor network platform into a centralized control system where all data collection, processing, and control functions are unified. This merging eliminates the need for multiple distributed systems to communicate, significantly improving data processing efficiency by reducing communication overhead and enabling centralized optimization of data flow.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a standardized data interface layer that acts as an intermediary between various production nodes and the centralized control platform. This interface layer handles data standardization, protocol conversion, and communication management, thereby reducing the perceived complexity of the centralized system while maintaining high processing efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

AI summary

An industrial internet of things system for intelligent production control is provided, comprising: a user platform, a service platform, a management platform, a sensor network platform, and an object platform. The user platform modifies production line parameters based on an instruction of the user, generates a first instruction, and sends it to the management platform through the transformation of the service platform. The object platform collects production link data of each production link of products and transmits it to the management platform. The management platform modifies work order parameters based on a second instruction transformed by the service platform, generates a third instruction, and determines whether devices corresponding to the plurality of production links are abnormal based on the production link data. The management platform sends the third instruction and the judgment result to the object platform through the sensor network platform to control manufacturing and production line data collection.
