Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The existing industrial intelligent manufacturing technology concentrates calculation pressure in the transmission control center, leading to a large load and data traffic jams due to uniform construction of control calculation and communication networks.
Innovation Solution
An independent sensor network platform is introduced, comprising a user platform, service platform, management platform, and object platform, with a centralized layout for the service and management platforms and an independent layout for the sensor network platform, allowing for classified control instructions and configuration files to be sent through distinct information channels and databases, reducing the burden on the management platform and ensuring data security.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If a uniform construction of control calculation and communication network is adopted, then the system structure is simple, but the calculation pressure is gathered in the transmission control center resulting in large load and data traffic jam
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the unified sensor network platform into multiple independent sensor network sub-platforms, each corresponding to a specific object sub-platform. This segmentation distributes the calculation pressure from the centralized management platform to the distributed sensor network sub-platforms, reducing data traffic congestion while maintaining manageable system complexity through modular architecture.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a new dimensional structure by creating independent sensor network sub-platforms that operate in parallel alongside the management platform. This adds a vertical dimension to the previously flat hierarchical structure, enabling distributed processing while preserving the overall system organization.
2Productivity
If an independent sensor network platform with sub-platforms is adopted, then the calculation load is distributed and data security is improved, but the system structure becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The sensor network platform is segmented into multiple independent sub-platforms, each handling specific object types. This segmentation distributes calculation load across parallel processing units while maintaining clear functional boundaries, making the complexity manageable through specialization rather than monolithic design.
Solution Approach 2:
Each sensor network sub-platform is designed with universal functionality to handle its corresponding object sub-platform, providing data storage, processing, and transmission capabilities. This multi-functionality at the sub-platform level reduces the need for specialized components, managing overall system complexity while achieving load distribution.
3Ease of operation
If centralized layout is used for service and management platforms, then data management is unified and efficient, but the transmission control center experiences large load
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts specific sensor network management functions from the centralized management platform and places them in dedicated sensor network sub-platforms. This extraction reduces the processing burden on the transmission control center while maintaining unified data management through the hierarchical structure, as the sub-platforms still report to and coordinate with the management platform.
