Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Manual recording of tyre changes in civil engineering vehicles is prone to errors, leading to unreliable database management, as operators may incorrectly associate tyre and vehicle identifiers, affecting the accuracy of tyre positions and replacement records.
Innovation Solution
A tyre handling machine equipped with first and second reading means that require specific predetermined conditions to be met simultaneously for accurate identification and activation, ensuring that tyre and spatial zone identifiers are correctly updated in the database, preventing inappropriate reading and ensuring robust database updates.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If manual recording of tyre changes is performed by operators, then flexibility and adaptability in handling various tyre replacement scenarios is improved, but recording errors increase and database reliability deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system enables automatic identification and database updating through reading means that autonomously capture tyre and vehicle identifiers without human intervention. The reading means automatically compare identifiers, determine spatial zones, and update the database, eliminating operator errors while maintaining adaptability through automated logic that handles various replacement scenarios.
Solution Approach 2:
The manual mechanical process of operators writing down changes on paper and updating databases is replaced with an automated electronic system. Reading means using radio waves or optical scans automatically capture identifiers and trigger database updates, substituting human manual operations with automated electronic detection and processing.
2Measurement precision
If multiple reading means are used to read identifiers simultaneously, then identification accuracy is improved, but inappropriate reading errors occur when conditions are not properly controlled
Solution Approach 1:
The system establishes predetermined conditions that must be satisfied before reading operations are performed. Spatial zone definitions and reading condition criteria are pre-configured to ensure that only appropriate identifiers are read and processed, preventing inappropriate readings while maintaining accurate identification of valid targets.
Solution Approach 2:
The reading means compare identifiers against predetermined conditions and spatial zone definitions to determine whether readings are appropriate. This feedback mechanism validates each reading attempt, ensuring that only identifiers meeting the established criteria are processed, thereby preventing inappropriate readings while maintaining high identification accuracy.

Function Achieved in This Case
The solution enables automatic, real-time, and reliable updating of the database, reducing human error and ensuring accurate tracking of tyre replacements and positions, even in cases where multiple tyres with varying degrees of wear need to be replaced.
Implementation Method 1
The first reading means is of the radio wave type and meets the first predetermined condition associated with the first reading means if the first reading means is able to send a radio wave reading signal with a power greater than or equal to a first predetermined reading power
Implementation Method 2
The second reading means is of the radio wave type and meets the second predetermined condition associated with the second reading means if the second reading means is able to send a radio wave reading signal with a power greater than or equal to a second predetermined reading power
Implementation Method 3
The first activation means is of the radio wave type and meets the first predetermined condition associated with the first activation means if the first activation means is able to send a radio wave activation signal with a power greater than or equal to a first predetermined activation power
Implementation Method 4
The second activation means is of the radio wave type and meets the second predetermined condition associated with the second activation means if the second activation means is able to send a radio wave activation signal with a power greater than or equal to a second predetermined activation power
Data Source
AI summary
A handling machine performs a method for updating a database for managing a fleet of vehicles, during replacement of a tire on a vehicle that includes a plurality of predetermined spatial zones. The database includes a tire identifier for each tire of the vehicle and a zone identifier for each predetermined spatial zone. Each of the tire identifiers is associated with a corresponding one of the zone identifiers in the database. A zone identifier of a spatial zone containing a tire is determined when first predetermined conditions are met, and a tire identifier of the tire is determined when second predetermined conditions are met. An association in the database between a zone identifier and a tire identifier is updated if at least the first and second predetermined conditions are met simultaneously at least once.
