Solution Overview

Problem

In intelligent manufacturing, implementing a production task plan across multiple workshops and equipment is challenging due to complex data interactions and errors, making it difficult to achieve unified control and coordination within the Industrial Internet of Things.

Innovation Solution

The Industrial Internet of Things is structured with a five-platform architecture, featuring independent service platforms for user interaction, a front sub-platform layout for data processing, and a rear sub-platform layout for sensor network data transmission, enabling independent data processing and transmission paths to facilitate unified management and regulation of production task plans across multiple platforms.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If a complex Internet of Things structure is used to achieve data interaction across multiple workshops and equipment, then the coverage and functionality are improved, but the system complexity and susceptibility to errors increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata interaction capabilityVSAvoidInternet of Things structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the complex IoT system into five distinct platforms: user platform, service platform, management platform, sensor network platform, and object platform. Each platform has specific functions and handles specific types of data, breaking down the monolithic complex system into manageable modular components that reduce overall system complexity while maintaining comprehensive data interaction capabilities across multiple workshops and equipment

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The management platform serves as an intermediary between the service platform and sensor network platform, coordinating data flow and interactions. This mediator approach simplifies the overall system architecture by providing a centralized coordination layer that manages the complex data interactions without requiring direct connections between all components

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Reliability

If data processing is centralized to achieve unified control of production task plans, then coordination capability is improved, but the processing pressure and bottlenecks increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveunified control capabilityVSAvoiddata processing speed
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements segmented data processing where each platform (user, service, management, sensor network, object) processes specific types of data independently according to its function. This distributed processing approach maintains unified control through the management platform's coordination role while avoiding centralized bottlenecks, as each platform handles its data stream in parallel without waiting for centralized processing

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a multi-dimensional platform architecture that processes data across different layers simultaneously. Rather than a single centralized processing dimension, the system operates across five platform dimensions (user, service, management, sensor network, object), enabling parallel data processing while maintaining unified control through the management platform's oversight

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