Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If industrial machines are equipped with multiple sensors, cameras, and communication units to enable electronic meeting participation, then communication capability and operational control are improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The control unit is designed to perform multiple functions: it manages electronic meeting participation, controls machine operations, processes sensor data, and handles communication protocols. This multi-functionality allows the industrial machine to participate in electronic meetings while maintaining operational control without requiring separate dedicated systems for each function, thereby improving communication capability while limiting the increase in device complexity.
2Reliability
If an information processing unit is added to handle electronic meeting data and machine control, then operational control and safety are enhanced, but device complexity and cost increase
Solution Approach 1:
The information processing unit is merged with the control unit, creating an integrated system that handles both electronic meeting data processing and machine operational control. This consolidation improves operational control and safety by ensuring centralized management of critical functions, while avoiding the need for separate redundant systems that would increase device complexity and cost.
3Loss of information
If the industrial machine transmits multiple types of electronic information (images, sounds, character strings) from multiple sources, then communication effectiveness is improved, but information management complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The control unit acts as an intermediary that receives electronic information from multiple sources (cameras, microphones, detectors, sensors), processes and prioritizes this information, and transmits it through the communication unit. This intermediary function ensures complete information transmission while simplifying information management by centralizing the processing logic and providing a unified interface for handling diverse information types.
