Solution Overview

Problem

Existing IIoT systems struggle with effective management of personnel and devices across multiple production lines, leading to inefficiencies and potential interference with normal production activities, especially when personnel or devices are not in the current time period, and lack integrated data utilization.

Innovation Solution

A management cloud platform is introduced to manage IIoT security by obtaining security control regions, determining monitoring parameters, generating instructions, and adjusting parameters based on execution results, utilizing subsystems like IIoT user, service, management, sensor network, and perceptual control platforms for coordinated operation and risk recognition.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If IIoT systems are deployed for real-time monitoring and data collection in factories, then productivity and operational visibility are improved, but security risks and management complexity increase when personnel or devices from different time periods remain in production regions

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvereal-time monitoring capabilityVSAvoidsecurity risks from unauthorized personnel/device access
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by pre-defining security control regions and time-period associations before production activities occur. The management cloud platform establishes the spatial-temporal security framework in advance, assigning specific production regions to specific time periods and personnel, so that when security violations occur, the system can immediately identify and respond to unauthorized access without needing to make complex decisions in real-time.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The management cloud platform acts as an intermediary between the IIoT monitoring systems and security control mechanisms. It receives monitoring data from multiple production lines, processes it through centralized security policies, and generates coordinated security responses. This intermediary layer unifies security management across previously independent production lines, enabling consistent security enforcement while maintaining productivity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Ease of operation

If multiple independent IIoT systems are deployed for different production lines, then each line can operate autonomously, but data utilization efficiency decreases and integrated security management becomes difficult

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveautonomous operation of production linesVSAvoiddata utilization efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges multiple independent IIoT systems into a unified management cloud platform that consolidates data from all production lines. This consolidation enables centralized analysis and utilization of data across the entire factory, improving overall data utilization efficiency while maintaining the autonomous operational capability of individual production lines through the platform's coordinated control mechanisms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The management cloud platform provides universal functionality that serves multiple production lines simultaneously. It handles security management, data analysis, and coordination across different lines, allowing the system to operate autonomously while benefiting from integrated data utilization. The platform's multi-functional design enables it to manage both autonomous operations and centralized data optimization.

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

3Reliability

If security monitoring is intensified to detect unauthorized personnel and devices, then security control improves, but interference with normal production activities increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesecurity control accuracyVSAvoidproduction efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system applies local quality by defining specific security control regions within the production environment and applying security monitoring only to those designated areas. Instead of uniformly monitoring all production spaces, the management cloud platform identifies and monitors only the critical regions where unauthorized access poses security risks, thereby maintaining high security control accuracy while minimizing interference with normal production activities in non-monitored areas.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality
