Manufacturing History Display System for Product Traceability
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing technologies face challenges in accurately and efficiently managing and displaying the complex manufacturing processes and carbon footprint of products, especially when dealing with numerous steps and branching processes.
Innovation Solution
An information processing device with a reading unit, acquisition control unit, and display control unit is used to read attachment information on a product, acquire associated manufacturing history information from a server, and display this information in a time-series format on a display unit, allowing users to easily navigate and understand the manufacturing process.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If all manufacturing process information is displayed at once, then complete information is provided, but the display becomes complex and difficult to understand
Solution Approach 1:
The manufacturing history information is segmented into multiple individual process information items, each representing a distinct manufacturing step. The display control unit displays one piece of process information at a time rather than all information simultaneously, dividing the complex information set into manageable units that can be easily understood and navigated through user operations.
2Reliability
If detailed manufacturing history information is stored and displayed, then traceability is improved, but the system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts and displays only the necessary process information at each step rather than presenting the entire manufacturing history at once. The display control unit selectively presents one piece of process information corresponding to the current manufacturing step, extracting relevant data from the complete manufacturing history stored in the attachment information.
3Loss of information
If multiple process steps are displayed simultaneously, then comprehensive overview is achieved, but user understanding becomes difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The display is made dynamic through user operations. The display control unit transitions between different pieces of process information based on user interactions, allowing users to navigate through manufacturing steps sequentially. This dynamic display adapts to user needs, presenting information in a manageable sequence rather than a static overwhelming view.

AI summary
Disclosed is a technique of technique of processing manufacturing history information. Attachment information attached to a product is read. The attachment information is associated with manufacturing history information of the product. The manufacturing history information associated with the attachment information is acquired from a server based on the read attachment information. The manufacturing history information is displayed on a display unit based on the acquired manufacturing history information. The manufacturing history information is information in which multiple pieces of process information are stored in time series. The multiple pieces of the process information indicate steps of a process related to manufacture of the product. One piece of the process information included in the manufacturing history information is displayed on the display unit, and the process information displayed on the display unit is transitioned in a time series in response to a user operation.
