Solution Overview

Problem

Existing condition monitoring systems lack real-time processing capabilities, leading to delays in anomaly detection and response due to non-real-time analysis and diagnosis processes.

Innovation Solution

A condition monitoring system that sets measurement and analysis conditions based on the time required for analysis and diagnosis processes, ensuring they do not exceed the measurement interval, using a data analyzer to calculate and adjust these conditions to maintain real-time processing.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of time

If real-time analysis and diagnosis processes are performed on measurement data, then responsiveness of anomaly detection is improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveanomaly detection timeVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of timeVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary setup of measurement conditions (sampling frequency, measurement interval) and analysis conditions (analysis method, calculation interval) before real-time monitoring begins. These pre-configured conditions ensure that the analysis process can operate in real-time without requiring complex dynamic adjustments during operation, thus reducing system complexity while maintaining responsiveness.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system dynamically adjusts parameters such as measurement interval and analysis calculation interval based on the relationship between data acquisition speed and processing speed. By changing these parameters adaptively, the system maintains real-time processing capability without requiring overly complex hardware or algorithms, thereby resolving the contradiction between response time and system complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Loss of time

If measurement interval is reduced to improve real-time monitoring, then anomaly detection responsiveness is improved, but data processing load increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemonitoring response timeVSAvoiddata processing load
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of timeVSPower

Solution Approach 1:

The system dynamically adjusts the measurement interval and analysis calculation interval based on real-time conditions. When the facility operates normally, longer intervals reduce processing load. When anomalies are detected or suspected, the system automatically shortens intervals to improve detection responsiveness. This dynamic adjustment resolves the contradiction between monitoring responsiveness and processing load.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

Instead of continuously performing full analysis at maximum frequency, the system applies analysis at selective intervals based on operational needs. The analysis calculation interval is set to be longer than the measurement interval, performing analysis only on selected measurement data points. This partial action approach maintains adequate monitoring responsiveness while significantly reducing overall data processing load.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action
