Innovation Solution

An Industrial Internet of Things system is developed with a five-platform structure, including a user platform, service platform, management platform, sensor network platform, and object platforms, which allows for independent data interaction, processing, and transmission, facilitating the coordination and execution of production task plans.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If a complex Internet of Things system is used for data interaction across multiple workshops and equipment, then data transfer capability is improved, but system complexity and data interaction errors increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata transfer capabilityVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the complex IoT system into multiple independent platform layers (user platform, service platform, management platform, sensor network platform, object platform). Each layer handles specific functions independently, reducing overall system complexity while maintaining comprehensive data transfer capability across multiple workshops and equipment.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces intermediate management platforms and service platforms that mediate between user platforms and sensor network platforms. These intermediary layers standardize data interactions, reduce errors, and simplify the complex communication paths between diverse workshops and equipment.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Productivity

If data interaction is expanded to cover all related workshops and equipment simultaneously, then production task plan implementation is improved, but data processing pressure and transmission burden increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveproduction task plan implementationVSAvoiddata processing pressure
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the data processing workload across multiple independent platforms (user platform, service platform, management platform, sensor network platform, object platform). Each platform processes only the data relevant to its function, distributing the processing pressure and avoiding the burden of handling all data centrally.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent transforms the data processing architecture from a flat, centralized structure to a multi-layered vertical structure. This dimensional change allows data to flow through specialized channels at different levels, reducing the processing burden at any single point while maintaining comprehensive production task plan implementation.

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

3Ease of operation

If the Internet of Things system is simplified to reduce complexity, then system ease of operation is improved, but data interaction accuracy and production task plan coordination deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesystem ease of operationVSAvoiddata interaction accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the system into standardized, modular platforms with clearly defined interfaces. This segmentation makes the system easier to operate while maintaining accuracy, as each module can be independently configured and validated without affecting the entire system.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates universal platform layers that can handle multiple functions and data types through standardized interfaces. This universality simplifies operation by providing consistent interaction methods across diverse workshops and equipment while maintaining data interaction accuracy through proven, reusable components.

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