Remote Work Machine Calibration Matching for Faster Startup
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing remote operation systems for work machines face inefficiencies due to the need for frequent recalibration of correction values when actual or remote operation mechanisms change, leading to prolonged startup times.
Innovation Solution
A remote operation support system that includes a first support processing element to determine if remote and actual operation factors match, and a second support processing element to adjust settings accordingly, allowing remote operation to start without full recalibration when factors are already aligned.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If correction value registration processing is executed every time communication between remote operation apparatus and work machine is established, then matching accuracy between remote operation mechanism and actual machine operation mechanism is ensured, but remote operation startup time is prolonged
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs correction value registration processing in advance when the work machine or remote operation apparatus is changed, rather than executing it every time communication is established. The management server determines whether correction value registration is necessary by checking if the work machine type or remote operation mechanism type has changed, allowing the system to prepare in advance and avoid unnecessary processing during startup.
Solution Approach 2:
The system executes correction value registration processing selectively rather than completely every time. By using the determination result to decide whether full processing is needed, the system performs only the necessary portion of the processing - either full registration when changes are detected or no registration when no changes exist - thus reducing unnecessary time consumption.
2Reliability
If correction value registration is performed frequently to ensure accurate matching, then operational reliability is improved, but processing efficiency deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The management server uses feedback from type information comparisons to determine whether correction value registration is necessary. By continuously monitoring changes in work machine type information and remote operation mechanism type information, the system receives feedback about system state changes and adjusts its processing accordingly, maintaining reliability while improving efficiency.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs the necessary correction value registration processing in advance when changes are detected, rather than waiting until startup is needed. This preliminary action ensures that the correction values are ready before remote operation begins, maintaining reliability while avoiding delays during actual operation startup.
3Measurement precision
If full correction processing is executed at every connection to ensure accurate matching, then matching precision is maintained, but remote operation responsiveness is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The system determines whether correction value registration is necessary in advance by checking type information before remote operation startup. This preliminary determination allows the system to prepare correction values ahead of time when needed, ensuring matching precision is maintained while avoiding processing delays during actual operation startup.
Solution Approach 2:
The system executes correction value registration processing selectively based on the determination result. When type information indicates no changes, the system performs no processing or minimal processing rather than full correction processing, thus maintaining matching precision while significantly improving remote operation responsiveness.

AI summary
Provided is a system or the like which can achieve improvement in remote operation efficiency of a work machine by improving an efficiency of calibration processing. A determination result of whether a remote operation factor corresponds to an actual machine operation factor is recognized by a first support processing element 121. "The remote operation factor" is a factor defining an operation setting of a remote operation mechanism 211 included in a remote operation apparatus 20. "The actual machine operation factor" is a factor defining an operation setting of an actual machine operation mechanism 411 included in a work machine 40. Processing of making the actual machine operation factor correspond to the remote operation factor is executed by a second support processing element 122 on a requirement that the determination result is negative.
