Integrated Information Labeling for Traceable Body Wear Articles
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing methods of adding identification information to three-dimensional objects, such as body wear articles, risk impairing the original appearance and functionality of the product, particularly in items like clothing and footwear.
Innovation Solution
A body wear article is manufactured with an information label that includes identification information, which is integrated during the manufacturing process, ensuring the original appearance and functionality while allowing for traceability management.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If identification information is added directly to the surface or interior of the product, then traceability management is improved, but the original appearance and functionality of the product deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The identification information is segmented from the main product body and placed on a separate information label. This label can be attached to or integrated with the product without modifying the product's original appearance or functionality, thus resolving the contradiction between traceability and appearance preservation.
Solution Approach 2:
An information label acts as an intermediary carrier for identification information. Instead of directly marking the product, the label serves as a mediator that provides traceability while leaving the product's original state intact, solving the conflict between information storage and appearance maintenance.
2Loss of information
If identification information is added directly to the surface or interior of the product, then traceability management is improved, but the functionality of the product deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
By segmenting the identification information into a separate information label, the product's functionality is preserved without compromise. The label provides traceability independently, preventing any potential interference with the product's original function.
Solution Approach 2:
The information label serves as an intermediary that carries identification information without interfering with the product's functionality. This mediator approach ensures that traceability is achieved while the product maintains its original performance characteristics.
