Smart Socket Onboarding With Template-Based Supervisor Mapping
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Manually on-boarding a large number of smart sockets is time-consuming and cost-prohibitive, necessitating a streamlined process for integration with a supervisor controller.
Innovation Solution
The method involves discovering smart sockets on a network, automatically adding them to a supervisor database, and configuring predetermined objects, alarm extensions, and history extensions for each socket, with all configurations being consistently applied across all discovered smart sockets.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Manufacturing precision
If manual on-boarding of each smart socket is performed, then configuration accuracy is ensured, but time consumption and cost increase significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by automatically discovering smart sockets on the network and pre-configuring them with standardized object sets, alarm extensions, and history extensions before full integration. This automated preliminary configuration reduces manual intervention time while maintaining consistency across all devices.
Solution Approach 2:
The system creates standardized templates for smart socket configurations including predetermined objects, alarm extensions, and history extensions. These templates are copied and applied automatically to each discovered smart socket, ensuring configuration accuracy through replication of proven successful configurations while eliminating repetitive manual work.
2Loss of time
If automated on-boarding is implemented, then time consumption is reduced, but configuration consistency may be compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The system enforces homogeneity by applying identical predetermined object sets, alarm extensions, and history extensions to all smart sockets through automated processes. This standardized approach ensures that every smart socket receives the same configuration treatment, maintaining consistency across the entire device fleet while enabling rapid automated on-boarding.
3Reliability
If comprehensive configuration objects are added for each smart socket, then monitoring capability is enhanced, but database complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments the configuration data into distinct, modular components: predetermined objects (such as power consumption, temperature), alarm extensions, and history extensions. Each segment is independently managed and can be automatically assigned to smart sockets, reducing database complexity through organized modularity while maintaining comprehensive monitoring capabilities.

AI summary
For each discovered smart socket, the smart socket is automatically added to a supervisor database and a predetermined set of two or more objects for the smart socket are automatically added to the supervisor database. One or more predetermined alarm extensions are automatically added to predetermined ones of the two or more objects of the smart socket in the supervisor database. One or more predetermined history extensions are automatically added to predetermined ones of the two or more objects of the smart socket in the supervisor database. Predetermined ones of the two or more objects and/or extensions of each of the discovered smart sockets are automatically mapped to a predetermined dashboard.
