Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If training data is generated using measurement data from mass production environment, then machine learning can be performed, but the learned model cannot accurately detect abnormalities in actual usage environment due to environmental differences

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveabnormality detection accuracyVSAvoidenvironmental adaptability
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by generating training data in the mass production environment before actual usage, and stores this training data for later use. The learned model is created in advance based on mass production data, and then this pre-created model is utilized in the actual usage environment to detect abnormalities.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system creates a copy of the mass production environment characteristics by generating training data that replicates the operational patterns and conditions of the mass production phase. This copied data structure and patterns are then used to train the model, allowing the model to learn from the mass production environment without requiring the actual physical environment to be present during operation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

2Productivity

If a learned model is generated using mass production environment data, then machine learning can be performed, but appropriate motor drive control cannot be achieved in actual usage environment

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemachine learning efficiencyVSAvoidcontrol reliability
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary machine learning during the mass production phase when efficient data collection is possible. The learned model is created in advance using this efficiently collected data, and then the model is stored and reused during actual usage, maintaining both learning efficiency and operational reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The motor drive control device performs self-learning by generating its own training data from its internal measurement data during mass production. The system uses its own operational data to train the model, eliminating the need for external data sources and enabling autonomous model creation that maintains reliability across different usage environments.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service
