Pseudo OT Process Modeling for Faster IT System Construction
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In system construction that requires data from OT-side processes for IT-side processes, the OT-side process often necessitates trial and error, leading to prolonged time and increased costs due to the need for on-site adjustments and data collection, which delays the IT-side process and increases operational loads on customers and suppliers.
Innovation Solution
A support system that utilizes a pseudo model to simulate the OT-side process, allowing the IT-side process to commence without waiting for the OT-side process completion, with the pseudo execution data enabling efficient OT-side process optimization and reducing overall construction time and costs.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If the OT-side process is executed through trial and error with on-site adjustments, then the data quality for the IT-side process is improved, but the construction time and operational costs increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by executing the OT-side process before the IT-side process to generate execution data in advance. This allows the IT-side process to start without waiting for OT-side completion, thereby reducing construction time while maintaining data quality through the preliminary data generation step.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent segments the system construction into two independent processes: the OT-side process and the IT-side process. By dividing the construction into separable stages with the OT-side process completing first and providing data to the IT-side process, the patent eliminates the need for sequential trial-and-error adjustments, reducing both time and costs.
2Measurement precision
If the OT-side process is executed through trial and error with on-site adjustments, then the data quality for the IT-side process is improved, but the operational costs increase
Solution Approach 1:
By executing the OT-side process preliminarily to generate execution data before the IT-side process begins, the patent eliminates repeated on-site adjustments and trial-and-error operations. This preliminary data generation reduces operational costs while maintaining the required data quality for system construction.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a copy of the execution data from the OT-side process and provides it to the IT-side process. This data copying mechanism eliminates the need for repeated on-site testing and adjustments, thereby reducing operational costs while ensuring the IT-side process receives high-quality data for accurate system construction.
3Reliability
If the IT-side process waits for the OT-side process completion, then the data accuracy is ensured, but the system construction timeline is prolonged
Solution Approach 1:
The patent executes the OT-side process as a preliminary step to generate execution data before the IT-side process begins. This preliminary execution ensures data accuracy is established in advance, allowing the IT-side process to proceed independently without waiting for OT-side completion, thereby shortening the overall system construction timeline while maintaining data reliability.
Data Source
AI summary
There is an on-site process as at least part of an OT-side process. The on-site process includes one or more tasks that start and finish for each of one or more targets. A pseudo model that simulates such an on-site process is prepared. A support system executes the pseudo model, and executes an IT-side process, based on pseudo execution data that is data obtained by executing the pseudo model.
