Production Failure Information Sharing for Timely Countermeasures
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional methods for sharing failure information in production devices lead to delays, resulting in reduced productivity and quality due to the lack of timely communication of failure information from user-side devices to support-side servers.
Innovation Solution
A failure information sharing system where user-side production devices and a support-side information server are connected via a network, enabling periodic distribution of failure and avoidance information, with user-side production managers receiving critical updates to promptly take countermeasures.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If failure information is published on a website support column, then information can be disclosed to users, but there is a delay in informing users and productivity deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system proactively pushes failure information to user devices before users can act on it. The information distribution section automatically transmits failure information and avoidance methods to connected production devices, eliminating the delay of users manually checking websites. This preliminary action ensures users receive critical information in advance, allowing them to take preventive measures before productivity is impacted.
Solution Approach 2:
The system establishes a feedback loop where failure information flows from the support side back to user devices through the network. The information distribution section continuously monitors and pushes updates to connected devices, creating a real-time feedback mechanism that keeps users informed of current failure conditions and avoidance methods, enabling rapid response to prevent productivity loss.
2Loss of information
If failure information is published on a website support column, then information can be disclosed to users, but quality deteriorates due to same failures occurring
Solution Approach 1:
The system delivers failure avoidance information proactively to user devices before similar failures can occur in production. By pushing avoidance methods in advance through the information distribution section, users can implement preventive measures ahead of time, ensuring manufacturing quality is maintained without waiting for failures to manifest or for users to discover information on websites.
Solution Approach 2:
The system creates a continuous feedback loop that delivers updated avoidance methods from the support side to user devices. This real-time feedback ensures users have access to the latest quality-preserving information, enabling them to adjust production parameters or procedures promptly to prevent defective products, thereby maintaining high manufacturing precision.
3Ease of operation
If conventional website browsing method is used, then users can find failure information, but production stops or defective products are produced during the delay period
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs information delivery automatically without requiring user initiation. The information distribution section autonomously pushes failure information and avoidance methods to connected devices through the network, eliminating the need for users to manually browse websites. This self-service approach ensures critical information reaches users regardless of their awareness or action, maintaining production continuity and reliability.

AI summary
Multiple component mounters that configure multiple user-side component mounting lines and a support-side information server are connected so as to be able to communicate with each other via a network. The support-side information server includes an information registration section collecting and registering failure information generated in the multiple user-side production devices and updating and registering failure avoidance information as a failure avoidance method becomes apparent, and an information distribution section distributing the failure information and the failure avoidance information to the user-side production devices. Each user-side production device includes an information receiving section receiving the failure information and the failure avoidance information from the support-side information server, and an information transmitting section transmitting to a user-side production manager the failure information and the failure avoidance information related to a failure that may occur at a production device managed by the production manager.
