Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Spinning mills face difficulties in determining actionable information from the large number of event messages generated during operation, which degrades performance and reliability due to the complexity of monitoring and maintaining numerous textile machines and sensors.
Innovation Solution
An electronic device configured to receive and process event messages from a spinning mill's computer network, identifying recurring events and assigning frequency and time information to determine actionable insights for improving operation, including real-time and long-term maintenance needs.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a large number of sensors and textile machines are deployed to monitor spinning mill operation, then measurement precision and reliability improve, but device complexity and difficulty of detecting and measuring increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the large volume of event messages into recurring patterns and unique occurrences. By identifying and grouping recurring events, the system reduces complexity while maintaining comprehensive monitoring coverage. The segmentation allows operators to focus on pattern-based insights rather than individual events.
Solution Approach 2:
The electronic device acts as an intermediary between the complex sensor network and operators. It processes raw event messages, identifies recurring patterns, and presents simplified information, thereby reducing the complexity burden on both the monitoring system and human operators while maintaining reliable operation detection.
2Loss of information
If all event messages are recorded and displayed to operators, then information completeness improves, but loss of time in processing and analyzing messages increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system extracts recurring event patterns from the complete set of event messages. By identifying and separating recurring events from unique events, the system provides operators with condensed, actionable information while preserving access to complete event data when needed, thereby reducing analysis time without sacrificing information completeness.
Solution Approach 2:
The electronic device performs preliminary analysis of event messages by automatically identifying recurring patterns before operators review the data. This pre-processing step filters and organizes information in advance, allowing operators to quickly access pre-analyzed recurring events rather than manually analyzing every individual message.
3Productivity
If frequency information and time information are assigned to recurring event messages, then productivity in determining improvement information increases, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The electronic device automatically assigns frequency and time information to recurring event messages without requiring manual intervention. The system self-services by autonomously analyzing event patterns, calculating frequencies, and determining time characteristics, thereby improving productivity while keeping the additional processing complexity contained within the automated system rather than requiring complex manual procedures.

AI summary
An electronic device and associated method of operation determine information for at least partially improving operation of a spinning mill. The electronic device is configured to: receive a plurality of event messages related to operation of the spinning mill from a computer network; from the plurality of event messages, determine recurring event messages and assign one or both of frequency information and time information to the recurring event messages; and based on one or both of the frequency and time information, process one or more of the recurring event messages to determine the information for at least partially improving operation of the spinning mill.
