Solution Overview

Problem

The lack of unified and standard research in industrial IoT development leads to repeated development and inefficiencies in intelligent manufacturing, particularly in large-scale production lines where complex communication protocols and decoding modes complicate coordination and stability.

Innovation Solution

A five-platform structure is introduced, with a centralized layout for the service and management platforms and a post-sub-platform layout for the sensing network platform, allowing for classification and processing of control instructions and data across multiple sub-platforms, enabling efficient coordination and data summarization for large-scale production lines.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If different industrial IoT systems are developed independently, then each system can be optimized for specific needs, but it leads to lack of unified standards and repeated development

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesystem optimizationVSAvoidsystem standardization
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a universal five-platform architecture that can serve multiple industrial IoT applications. The standardized platform structure includes user platform, service platform, management platform, sensing network platform, and object platform, which can be adapted to different industrial scenarios while maintaining consistent interfaces and protocols, thereby achieving both optimization for specific needs and unified standards

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Device complexity

If centralized layout is used for service and management platforms, then data processing is simplified, but it may create bottlenecks in large-scale systems

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata processing complexityVSAvoidsystem throughput
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The sensing network platform is segmented into multiple sub-platforms that can independently process data for different object platforms. Each sub-platform handles specific sensing network communications, allowing parallel processing and eliminating the bottleneck that would occur if a single centralized platform had to handle all sensing network data for large-scale systems

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Reliability

If post-sub-platform layout is used for sensing network platform, then coordination of multiple production line devices is improved, but it increases system structural complexity

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinstruction coordinationVSAvoidplatform structure
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a hierarchical dimension to the platform structure, with the sensing network platform positioned between the management platform and object platforms. This intermediate layer provides standardized interfaces and protocols that simplify coordination, while the hierarchical arrangement allows complex multi-device coordination to be managed through layered abstraction rather than direct complex connections

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

AI summary

The present disclosure discloses the industrial internet of things (IoT) with a sensing network platform in a post-sub-platform type and controlling method thereof, which has adopted a form of a five-platform structure to construct an intelligent manufacturing industrial IoT. Each platform has a corresponding hardware device. As a service platform and a management platform adopt a centralized layout, while the sensing network platform adopts a post-sub-platform layout, the sensing network platform may receive large quantities of instructions issued by the management platform, and balance the coordination of various instructions at the same time, which makes the present disclosure very suitable for large-scale production lines with the requirement of high overall coordination and makes the present disclosure have strong applicability.
