Solution Overview
Problem
The complexity of measuring processes in various materials requires significant user expertise, leading to lengthy preparation times as users must determine the appropriate measuring method and settings, such as temperature and energy supply, which can be time-consuming and prone to errors.
Innovation Solution
A method and measuring device where a controller receives a request for a specific measured value, establishes and outputs a parameter list to the user, including settings like temperature, pressure, and energy supply, and can access a database to support the user in determining the necessary parameters, monitor and adjust settings in real-time to ensure accurate measurements.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If a user manually determines measuring methods and settings, then measurement accuracy can be ensured through expert knowledge, but preparation time increases significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The controller pre-establishes parameter lists and measuring methods in advance based on stored measurement data and material properties. When a measurement is requested, the controller automatically retrieves and applies pre-configured parameters, eliminating the need for users to manually determine settings during the measurement preparation phase.
Solution Approach 2:
The measuring device performs self-configuration by automatically selecting measuring methods and setting parameters based on the type of material and desired measured value. The system uses its own stored knowledge base to autonomously determine optimal measurement settings without requiring external expert intervention.
2Measurement precision
If complex measuring processes are used to determine material properties, then measurement accuracy improves, but device complexity and ease of operation deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The controller acts as an intermediary between the user and the complex measuring device. It translates simple user requests into detailed measurement configurations by automatically selecting appropriate measuring methods and parameters from its stored knowledge, shielding the user from complexity while maintaining measurement accuracy.
Solution Approach 2:
The measuring device is designed with multi-functionality to handle various material types and measured values through a single unified interface. The controller stores multiple measuring methods and parameters that can be automatically selected based on the measurement requirements, allowing one device to perform many different measurement tasks without requiring specialized configuration for each.
3Reliability
If comprehensive parameter settings are provided to ensure accurate measurements, then measurement reliability improves, but the complexity of operation increases
Solution Approach 1:
All necessary parameter settings are pre-configured and stored in the controller's memory before measurements are performed. The system maintains reliability by having comprehensive parameter lists ready in advance, organized by material type and measured value, allowing automatic retrieval without requiring users to manually configure complex settings at the time of measurement.
