Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing manufacturing systems lack the ability to seamlessly transition driving control of moving objects from remote or autonomous control to manual control as processes are completed, leading to inefficiencies and potential accidents due to incorrect operation unit interactions.
Innovation Solution
A moving object system comprising a driving controller, process completion detector, and control content change unit that adjusts control settings based on process completion, allowing for remote or autonomous control during manufacturing, and enabling safe transitions to manual control by relaxing thresholds to prevent unintended stops.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If remote control or autonomous control is implemented during manufacturing processes, then driving control can be performed before finish of the vehicle, but control accuracy may be insufficient due to incorrect operation unit interactions
Solution Approach 1:
The patent dynamically changes control content based on process completion status. The driving controller transitions from remote control mode to autonomous control mode as manufacturing processes are completed, adapting the control strategy to the current state of the vehicle and manufacturing progress, thereby resolving the contradiction between early control implementation and control accuracy
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes control parameters (control content) based on process completion detection. When processes are completed, the system modifies control parameters to switch between remote and autonomous control modes, ensuring appropriate control accuracy for each manufacturing stage while maintaining productivity
2Adaptability or versatility
If control content is changed frequently during manufacturing processes, then driving control can be optimized for each step, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent pre-defines multiple control contents corresponding to different process completion stages. The driving controller is configured with predetermined control strategies for various manufacturing states, allowing seamless transitions without complex real-time decision-making logic, thus achieving step-specific optimization while managing system complexity
Solution Approach 2:
The system uses process completion detection as feedback to trigger control content changes. The detection unit monitors manufacturing process status and provides feedback to the driving controller, which automatically adjusts control content based on this feedback, enabling adaptive control optimization without requiring complex manual intervention
3Reliability
If autonomous control is used after object detection device mounting, then collision prevention control can be implemented, but transition from remote control may cause operational disruptions
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a dynamic transition mechanism where the driving controller smoothly switches from remote control to autonomous control based on process completion. This dynamic adaptation allows the system to gain collision prevention capabilities while maintaining operational continuity through automated, seamless mode transitions rather than abrupt changes

AI summary
A moving object manufactured in a factory comprises: a driving controller that implements driving control over the moving object by unmanned driving during a course of manufacture of the moving object in the factory; a process completion detector that detects completion of a process by at least one step included in the course of manufacture; and a control content change unit that changes a content in control over the moving object when the completion of the process is detected.
