Location-Centric Project Data Delivery for Construction Machines
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing systems for delivering project data files to construction machines are inefficient, relying on manual sorting using project and work order numbers, which are prone to human error and become difficult when machines move across geographical boundaries, especially in large projects with unwieldy data files and varying geographical calibrations.
Innovation Solution
A project data delivery apparatus that automatically selects and transmits relevant project data files based on the geographical location and identification of construction machines, using a database organized by project site locations and machine identifications, ensuring only pertinent files are delivered and updated as the machine moves within the project site.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If manual sorting using project and work order numbers is used, then file selection can be performed, but human error increases and reliability decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The system enables automatic self-service by having the construction machine itself provide its identification and location data, which the server uses to automatically select and deliver the appropriate project data files without requiring manual intervention or human error-prone number matching
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces the mechanical/manual process of sorting files by project and work order numbers with an automated electronic system that uses machine identification and location data to automatically retrieve and transmit the correct files, eliminating human error entirely
2Ease of manufacture
If project data files are organized by project and work order numbers, then files can be stored and retrieved, but the system becomes difficult to implement when machines move across geographical boundaries
Solution Approach 1:
The system changes the organizational parameter from static project/work order numbers to dynamic location-based parameters. The server now organizes and retrieves files based on the machine's real-time geographical location and identification, allowing seamless adaptation as machines move across different geographical boundaries within the project site
3Quantity of substance
If all project data files are delivered to the machine, then complete information is provided, but the data becomes unwieldy and unnecessary files increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system extracts and delivers only the necessary project data files relevant to the machine's current location and project tasks, rather than transmitting all available files. The server selectively retrieves and transmits only the specific files needed based on machine identification and location parameters, reducing data volume while maintaining completeness for the relevant scope
Data Source
AI summary
A project data delivery apparatus for automatically delivering project data files to a construction machine based on the geographical location and identification of the construction machine. The apparatus includes a project data distributor for storing, maintaining and transmitting project data files that are associated with project site locations and project plan machine identifications.
