Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing intelligent manufacturing systems face challenges in efficiently managing and allocating similar accessories across multiple processes and equipment, leading to excessive accumulation or shortages, which results in resource waste and inefficient scheduling.
Innovation Solution
An industrial Internet of Things (IoT) system integrating centralized platforms and rear sub-platforms is implemented, which includes a user platform, service platform, management platform, sensor network platform, and object platform. This system enables unified management and scheduling of accessories, optimizing resource allocation and reducing waste.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If similar accessories are supplied separately to different processes and equipment, then each process or equipment can have its accessories independently managed, but this leads to excessive accumulation of accessories in some processes while other processes have shortages, causing resource waste and inefficient scheduling
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the management of similar accessories across multiple processes and equipment into a unified supply system. The accessory supply equipment is configured to supply similar accessories to multiple production line equipment simultaneously, enabling centralized management and scheduling. This allows the system to allocate accessories from processes with accumulation to processes with shortages, eliminating resource waste while maintaining ease of operation through integrated control.
2Productivity
If a unified management system for accessories is implemented across all processes, then resource allocation efficiency is improved and waste is reduced, but the system complexity and difficulty of managing diverse process requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the accessory supply system into a hierarchical structure with accessory supply equipment at the upper level that manages similar accessories centrally, and production line equipment at the lower level that receives customized allocations. The system divides accessory types into categories (first type, second type, etc.) and manages each category separately while maintaining unified control. This segmentation enables efficient resource allocation across diverse processes without overwhelming system complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The accessory supply equipment is designed with multi-functionality to supply different types of accessories (first type, second type, third type) to multiple production line equipment simultaneously. This universal supply capability allows a single system to handle diverse process requirements while maintaining centralized management, thereby improving allocation efficiency without proportionally increasing system complexity.
3Reliability
If accessory supply is optimized for specific processes, then manufacturing tasks are ensured, but other processes may experience accessory shortages requiring re-allocation from the supply chain
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a feedback mechanism where the accessory supply equipment continuously monitors the accessory status and manufacturing needs of multiple production line equipment. Based on this feedback, the system dynamically adjusts accessory allocation in real-time, ensuring that processes with sufficient accessories can supply others that experience shortages. This feedback-driven approach maintains manufacturing reliability across all processes while eliminating re-allocation delays through proactive balancing.

AI summary
The present disclosure discloses an industrial Internet of Things (IoT) of integrating centralized platforms and rear sub-platforms, the industrial IoT includes a user platform, a service platform, a management platform, a sensor network platform, and an object platform interacting in sequence, both the service platform and the sensor network platform are arranged using a centralized platform arrangement and the management platform is arranged using a rear sub-platform arrangement, the production line manufacturing equipment and the production line accessory supply equipment collect accessory data of corresponding equipment through the equipment data collectors and add the index item information through the management platform. Therefore, the corresponding index item information is classified and processed by sub-platforms of corresponding and different management platforms, so as to ensure the transmission and classification of data.
