Mounting Line Warning Control for Supply Interruptions
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In mounting systems with unmanned conveyance vehicles, the halt of the supply device leads to a reduction in the operating rate of the mounting line, as the system does not effectively address the issue of supply interruptions.
Innovation Solution
A mounting system with a reporting section that issues warnings when members are not supplied to the mounting machines, prompting operators to address the issue, thereby preventing a reduction in the operating rate.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the supply device stops due to obstacle detection, then safety is ensured, but the operating rate of the mounting line decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The reporting section issues a warning in advance when member supply is interrupted, allowing operators to take preliminary actions to resolve the issue before the mounting line is fully affected, thus maintaining higher operating rates while ensuring safety
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements feedback through the reporting section that continuously monitors member supply status and provides real-time warnings to operators, enabling timely responses to supply interruptions and preventing complete line stoppage
2Object-affected harmful factors
If the supply device stops to ensure safety, then harmful factors are reduced, but loss of time occurs
Solution Approach 1:
The reporting section provides early warning of supply interruptions, enabling operators to address the issue before it causes complete line halt, thereby reducing loss of time while maintaining safety
Solution Approach 2:
The warning system enables operators to quickly identify and rush to resolve supply interruption issues, minimizing the duration of harmful effects and reducing overall time loss
