Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If manual generation method is used, then flexibility and understanding of requirements are maintained, but work efficiency and time consumption deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the manual mechanical process of reading drawing data and creating inspection items with an automated computer-based system. The tree structure analyzer automatically parses the hierarchical tree structure of three-dimensional drawing data, and the list generator automatically creates inspection item lists, eliminating manual labor and significantly improving productivity while reducing time consumption.
Solution Approach 2:
The system enables self-service by allowing the inspection item list to be generated automatically from the drawing data without human intervention. The tree structure analyzer and list generator work autonomously to extract requirements and generate inspection items, making the process self-sufficient and dramatically increasing work efficiency.
2Productivity
If automated generation is implemented, then productivity improves, but accuracy and reliability may deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The system incorporates feedback mechanisms where the tree structure analyzer continuously monitors the hierarchical structure of drawing data, and the list generator uses this analyzed information to create accurate inspection items. The automated process includes validation and verification steps that ensure the generated inspection items accurately reflect the original drawing requirements, maintaining reliability while improving productivity.
Solution Approach 2:
The tree structure analyzer acts as an intermediary between the raw drawing data and the inspection item list. It carefully parses and analyzes the hierarchical tree structure, extracting requirements accurately before passing them to the list generator. This intermediary process ensures that no information is lost or misinterpreted, maintaining accuracy while enabling automated high-speed generation.
3Productivity
If automated analysis is used, then work efficiency improves, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system is divided into distinct functional modules: the tree structure analyzer and the list generator. Each module has a specific function - the analyzer parses the hierarchical tree structure of drawing data, while the generator creates inspection items based on the analyzed information. This segmentation makes the complex automated system manageable and maintainable while achieving high productivity in inspection list generation.
