Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional injection systems lack a mechanism for predicting operation failures and misuses, leading to potential downtime, improper functioning, and delayed or improper medical procedures.

Innovation Solution

A computer-implemented method and system for predictive maintenance that receives operation data from injection systems, determines prediction scores for potential failures or misuses, and provides maintenance data to prevent such issues.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If conventional injection systems operate without predictive maintenance mechanisms, then device complexity is reduced, but reliability deteriorates due to unexpected failures and downtime

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinjection system availabilityVSAvoidmaintenance prediction system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary maintenance actions by predicting potential failures before they occur. The predictive maintenance system analyzes operation data to identify patterns indicating future failures, allowing maintenance to be scheduled in advance rather than reacting to actual failures, thus improving reliability without requiring complex real-time intervention mechanisms

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements feedback loops where operation data is continuously collected, analyzed, and used to generate maintenance predictions. These predictions feed back into the maintenance scheduling process, creating a closed-loop system that progressively improves reliability through learned patterns from historical data while maintaining manageable complexity through automated decision-making

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Measurement precision

If operation data is continuously monitored and analyzed, then measurement precision of failure prediction improves, but use of energy increases due to continuous data processing

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefailure prediction accuracyVSAvoidcomputer system energy consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The system uses feedback from analyzed operation data to improve prediction accuracy over time. By continuously processing operation parameters and comparing actual outcomes with predictions, the system refines its models to achieve higher measurement precision. The energy consumption is justified by the increasing accuracy that reduces false alarms and improves maintenance timing

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The system processes operation data at varying levels of intensity based on system state and risk assessment. Rather than continuously analyzing all parameters at maximum depth, the system applies partial analysis to normal operations and more intensive analysis only when failure patterns are detected, optimizing the balance between prediction precision and energy consumption

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action
