Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If manual generation of project planning documents is used for secondary technologies, then flexibility to handle complex control structures is maintained, but effort and time consumption increase significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by automatically generating project planning documents for secondary technologies (automation, electrification, building technology, telecommunications) based on the primary technology flow diagram. Configuration data including operational requirements, system-specific framework conditions, and specifications are pre-defined and stored, enabling automatic generation without manual intervention for each new project.
Solution Approach 2:
The system creates copies of project planning documents by automatically generating secondary technology solutions from the primary technology flow diagram. The configuration data and operational requirements are copied and adapted to specific project needs, allowing rapid reproduction of standardized planning documents while maintaining flexibility for custom requirements.
2Productivity
If standardized project planning solutions are applied, then efficiency is improved, but adaptability to specific system requirements is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically adapts standardized project planning solutions to specific system requirements. The configuration data structure allows operational requirements, system-specific framework conditions, and specifications to be modified and tailored for each project. The automatic generation process adjusts the standardized templates based on the specific flow diagram and configuration data provided, maintaining both efficiency and adaptability.
Solution Approach 2:
The system applies local quality by allowing specific portions of the project planning document to be customized while maintaining standardized structures. Configuration data can be selectively defined for different aspects of the secondary technology (automation, electrification, building technology, telecommunications), enabling tailored solutions in specific areas while maintaining overall standardization where applicable.
3Reliability
If automatic generation of secondary technology solutions is implemented, then quality and consistency are improved, but complexity of the planning system increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system achieves universality by implementing a single integrated automatic generation process that handles multiple secondary technologies (automation, electrification, building technology, telecommunications) through a unified configuration data structure. The same system architecture and evaluation logic are used across all technology domains, improving reliability through consistency while managing complexity through standardization of the planning system structure.
4Measurement precision
If comprehensive configuration data is collected for automatic evaluation, then accuracy of generated solutions is improved, but data processing effort increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments configuration data into distinct categories: operational requirements, system-specific framework conditions, and specifications. This segmentation allows the evaluation process to systematically process different types of data through appropriate evaluation logic for each category, improving accuracy by ensuring comprehensive consideration of all requirements while managing data processing complexity through structured organization.

AI summary
A method and a device for planning a specific process system, wherein during the planning of a specific process system, which consists of primary technology formed as components of the system that are interconnected with respect to process and at least one secondary technology that depends on the primary technology and enables operation of the system together with the primary technology, the primary technology is planned as a flow diagram of the system via a system planning tool, where configuration data formed as requirements, guidelines for operation of the system, system-specific basic conditions and/or specifications are added to the flow diagram, and where a data-processing device evaluates the flow diagram to which the configuration data have been added and automatically creates, optionally by accessing an archive having standard planning solutions, a specific planning solution for a secondary technology that meets the various requirements together with the planned primary technology.
