Press Machine Operation Guidance Using History-Based Procedure Selection
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing press machine operation support methods fail to provide an efficient and user-specific operation procedure, as they either rely on predetermined patterns or prioritize operation time without considering other critical factors like stability and simplicity.
Innovation Solution
A press machine equipped with an operation content recording unit, database generation unit, and operation procedure acquisition unit that records and analyzes operation history data to generate a user-specific operation procedure database, allowing selection based on user-defined criteria such as time, order, frequency, stability, and simplicity.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a predetermined automatic operation procedure is used, then operation consistency is improved, but adaptability to user-specific needs and efficiency optimization deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system records actual operation history data and uses it to generate and update operation procedures automatically. The operation history recording unit captures real operation sequences, and the operation procedure generation unit uses this feedback to create optimized procedures that adapt to actual usage patterns while maintaining consistency through systematic processing of the recorded data.
Solution Approach 2:
The system automatically generates operation procedures based on recorded history data without requiring manual intervention. The operation procedure generation unit autonomously processes the recorded operation sequences and creates optimized procedures, enabling the system to serve itself by continuously improving its own operation guidance based on accumulated experience data.
2Loss of time
If operation procedures are learned and updated according to operation time only, then time-based optimization is improved, but reliability and completeness of operation procedures deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system evaluates operation procedures based on multiple parameters including operation time, frequency of execution, and success rates. The operation procedure selection unit selects procedures by comprehensively considering these parameters rather than relying solely on operation time, thereby maintaining reliability while achieving time-based optimization through multi-criteria evaluation.
3Ease of operation
If one fixed operation procedure pattern is provided, then simplicity of operation support is improved, but productivity and efficiency deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically generates and selects operation procedures based on recorded history data and current operational context. Instead of providing a fixed static procedure, the system adapts the operation guidance to match actual usage patterns and conditions, thereby maintaining simplicity through automated selection while improving productivity through optimized procedure recommendations.

AI summary
A press machine includes: an operation content recording unit that records history data including operation content and an operation time of an operation performed on the press machine; a database generation unit that extracts, from the recorded history data, data corresponding to a series of operations including an operation to serve as a start point and an operation to serve as an end point of an operation procedure to be an operation support target, and generates a database of the operation procedure; an operation procedure acquisition unit that acquires, from the database, the operation procedure that satisfies a determination criterion designated by a user; and an operation procedure output unit that outputs the acquired operation procedure.
