Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing video display systems for the performance industry are cumbersome to assemble and disassemble, requiring significant time and varying skill levels, along with the need for multiple tools, and are difficult to repair or replace.
Innovation Solution
A method of assembling and disassembling video display systems by positioning and selectively engaging modules to form tiers, using pinnable joints and latches/hooks for easy assembly and maintenance, allowing for tool-free operation and module replacement while the system is raised or suspended.

Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If traditional assembly methods are used for video display systems, then the system can be assembled, but it requires significant time, multiple tools, and varying skill levels
Solution Approach 1:
The video display system is divided into modular display units that can be independently assembled and disassembled. Each module contains standardized connection interfaces that enable simple coupling without requiring complex assembly procedures or multiple tools.
Solution Approach 2:
The connection interfaces are designed with universal compatibility, allowing the same coupling mechanism to be used across different display modules. This standardized interface enables any module to connect to any other module using the same simple procedure, eliminating the need for specialized tools or skills.
2Ease of repair
If traditional assembly methods are used, then the system can be constructed, but repair and replacement are difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The system is segmented into independent replaceable modules, allowing individual display units to be quickly removed and replaced without affecting the rest of the system. This modular approach simplifies maintenance and repair operations.
Solution Approach 2:
The connection interfaces are designed to be dynamically adjustable, allowing modules to be easily coupled and decoupled during operation or maintenance. The flexible connection mechanism enables rapid replacement without requiring system disassembly or complex procedures.
3Productivity
If video displays are consolidated for transportation, then they can be stored, but significant time is required for arranging and assembling
Solution Approach 1:
Display modules are pre-assembled into consolidated units during storage and transportation. These pre-assembled modules require minimal assembly time when deployed, as they only need to be coupled together using the simple standardized interfaces rather than being assembled from individual components.
Solution Approach 2:
The system uses segmented modular units that can be quickly coupled together during setup. The standardized connection interfaces enable rapid assembly of the consolidated modules without requiring complex arrangement procedures or specialized tools.
