Production Device Setting History for Abnormality Action Retrieval
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional system construction assistance devices for factory automation systems lack the functionality to provide users with actionable information in response to abnormalities, making it difficult for users to determine effective actions based on changes in production device states and settings.
Innovation Solution
A system construction assistance program that receives and stores setting information for production devices, allows input of action information during abnormalities, extracts and associates change content with action information, and searches for relevant action information using the change content as a condition, displaying it to the user.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If conventional system construction assistance devices only store and output change information without providing actionable guidance, then the device complexity remains low, but the ease of operation deteriorates as users struggle to determine effective actions against abnormalities
Solution Approach 1:
The system pre-stores multiple pieces of action information corresponding to different abnormality patterns in the storage device. When an abnormality occurs, the system retrieves and presents the appropriate pre-prepared action information to the user, eliminating the need for users to independently analyze and determine actions during emergency situations.
Solution Approach 2:
The system introduces an intermediary information processing layer that acts as a mediator between the abnormality detection and the user. This intermediary component analyzes the abnormality, retrieves relevant action information from storage, and presents it to the user in a comprehensible format, bridging the gap between raw data and actionable insights.
2Measurement precision
If the system stores detailed history of setting information and action information, then the measurement precision of abnormality analysis improves, but the loss of time for data processing increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary organization of action information during system setup and maintenance, storing multiple pre-analyzed action recommendations associated with different abnormality patterns. This pre-processing eliminates the need for real-time analysis during abnormality events, reducing response time while maintaining high precision through stored diagnostic data.
Solution Approach 2:
The system applies local quality by storing different levels of detail for different types of information. Frequently accessed action information is stored with high detail and specificity, while less critical data uses compressed formats. This selective detail distribution optimizes both retrieval speed and analysis precision for the most critical abnormality scenarios.

AI summary
A system construction assistance program causes a computer to execute a history creation step, an input step, a storage step, a search step, and a display step of displaying action information searched. The history creation step is for receiving a plurality of pieces of setting information indicating settings of production devices and storing the setting information. The input step is for receiving an input of action information indicating an action against an abnormality. The storage step is for storing the action information and the change content of the setting information accompanying occurrence of the abnormality in association with each other. The search step is for searching, in a case of occurrence of an abnormality in the production devices, for the action information for the abnormality occurring in the production devices from among the stored action information, using as a search condition the change content of the setting information.
