Solution Overview

Problem

The large amount of data generated in industrial product production processes complicates effective management and analysis of product defects due to the need for managing different processes and personnel across various equipment.

Innovation Solution

A system comprising a production configuration module, data acquisition module, and data storage module that selects and connects process nodes, acquires product data, and stores it in current and historical data tables based on a preset strategy, optimizing data management and reducing the amount of data in current tables.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If all product data is stored in a single current data table, then data retrieval is simple, but query efficiency deteriorates due to large data volume

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata storage simplicityVSAvoidquery efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the data storage structure into multiple tables (current data table and historical data tables) to segment the large volume of product data. This segmentation allows the system to maintain simple storage operations while improving query efficiency by reducing the data volume in the current data table through periodic archiving to historical tables.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Quantity of substance

If product data is archived to historical tables, then current data table size is reduced, but data retrieval complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecurrent data table sizeVSAvoiddata retrieval complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements preliminary archiving of historical data to separate tables before they are needed for analysis. By pre-organizing historical data in dedicated tables with proper indexing, the system reduces current data table size while maintaining efficient retrieval capabilities through structured access patterns to historical tables.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Reliability

If production process data is recorded in detail, then traceability is improved, but data management difficulty increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveproduct traceabilityVSAvoiddata management complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments production process data into multiple tables (current data table for active production data and historical data tables for archived data). This segmentation maintains detailed traceability information while reducing data management complexity by organizing data temporally and thematically, making it easier to query and manage.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
