Solution Overview

Problem

In remote operations on board work machines, general workers may perform unnecessary work, leading to decreased safety and efficiency due to potential duplicate work and unnecessary movement.

Innovation Solution

A remote operation notification system that includes a determination section to identify remote operations and a notification section to alert general workers when a specific worker is performing remote operations, thereby preventing duplicate work and unsafe movements.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If remote operation is performed by a specific worker on a board work machine, then operational flexibility is improved, but safety decreases because general workers may perform work in the machine and duplicate work may occur

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveremote operation flexibilityVSAvoidwork safety
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements a notification mechanism that provides real-time feedback to general workers when a specific worker is performing remote operations. The determination section detects the remote operation state and the notification section alerts general workers, creating a feedback loop that prevents unsafe actions while maintaining remote operation flexibility.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Adaptability or versatility

If general workers are allowed to perform work in the board work machine, then operational versatility is improved, but work efficiency decreases due to duplicate work and unnecessary movements

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvework assignment flexibilityVSAvoidwork efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The notification section provides real-time information to general workers about ongoing remote operations, enabling them to make informed decisions about whether to approach the machine. This feedback mechanism eliminates unnecessary movements and duplicate work while preserving the system's flexibility to assign tasks dynamically.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

AI summary

A remote operation notification system includes a determination section and a notification section. The determination section is configured to determine whether there is a remote operation performed by a worker of a board work machine configured to perform predetermined board work on a board. The notification section is configured to give a notification of the remote operation performed by a specific worker of the board work machine, who is the worker who performs the remote operation on the board work machine, to at least a general worker, who is the worker other than the specific worker, among the specific worker and the general worker when the determination section determines that there is the remote operation.
