Shape Data Search and Suitability Checks for Component Mounting
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing data management systems for component mounting processes are limited by the need to manage multiple types of shape data, often leading to search errors and reduced convenience due to incorrect setting of search conditions.
Innovation Solution
A data management system that includes a first storage section for registration data associating component specifying information with shape data, a second storage section for possession device data, a search section to find suitable shape data using partial information, and a determination section to verify suitability based on possession device data, simplifying the search process and preventing errors.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If multiple types of shape data are stored to cover various production environments, then the system's adaptability improves, but the complexity of managing and searching shape data increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments shape data into multiple types (first shape data, second shape data, third shape data) with different levels of detail and purposes. Each type serves specific production scenarios, allowing the system to adapt to various environments without managing a single monolithic data structure. This segmentation reduces search complexity by enabling targeted queries for specific data types.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary mechanism (the determination section and search condition management) that mediates between the user's simple search input and the complex multi-type shape data repository. This intermediary automatically translates partial information into appropriate search conditions and determines suitability, shielding users from the underlying data complexity while maintaining high adaptability.
2Measurement precision
If detailed search conditions are required to find suitable shape data, then the precision of shape data selection improves, but the ease of operation deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by pre-defining multiple shape data types with predetermined characteristics and suitability criteria. When a user initiates a search, the system has already prepared the classification framework and suitability determination rules, enabling accurate selection without requiring users to manually specify detailed search conditions. The determination section automatically applies these pre-established criteria.
Solution Approach 2:
The determination section implements self-service by automatically analyzing the search results and determining whether each shape data type is suitable for the user's production environment. The system autonomously evaluates compatibility between shape data and production conditions without requiring user intervention or detailed specification of suitability criteria, thereby maintaining high selection precision while simplifying operation.
3Reliability
If the system automatically determines suitability based on possession device data, then search accuracy improves, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The determination section is designed with multi-functionality, serving as a universal evaluator that can assess suitability across all three shape data types (first, second, and third) using a unified determination mechanism. This universal approach improves reliability by applying consistent evaluation criteria throughout the system while avoiding the need for separate complex determination mechanisms for each data type, thereby managing device complexity efficiently.

AI summary
The data management system includes a first storage section storing registration data in which component specifying information for specifying a component is associated with shape data, a second storage section storing possession device data, a search section for searching the registration data from the first storage section by using partial information included in at least one of the shape data and the component specifying information as a search condition, and a determination section for performing a suitability determination process of determining whether the shape data included in the registration data in a search result by the search section is suitable for the mounting process using the configuration device, based on the possession device data.
