Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If traditional manual design and assembly methods are used for UAS, then users have flexibility in component selection, but the process requires extensive knowledge and time, leading to potential defects due to incorrect component selection and assembly
Solution Approach 1:
The system pre-stores compatibility information and assembly instructions for all UAS components in a database before the design process begins. When a user selects a component, the system has already prepared all necessary compatibility data, assembly instructions, and validation rules, eliminating the need for users to perform complex compatibility checks manually during the design process.
Solution Approach 2:
The system acts as an intermediary between the user and the complex world of UAS component compatibility. It provides a user interface that translates user requirements into validated component selections, automatically checking compatibility against the database and guiding users through the assembly process with step-by-step instructions, thereby reducing both time and errors.
2Adaptability or versatility
If traditional manual design and assembly methods are used for UAS, then users can customize their systems, but extensive knowledge is required leading to potential defects
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments the complex UAS design process into distinct, manageable steps: component selection, compatibility validation, assembly instruction generation, and verification. Each step is handled independently with specific guidance, breaking down the overwhelming complexity into simple, sequential tasks that users can follow without requiring expert knowledge.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes the parameters of interaction by providing dynamic, context-aware guidance that adapts to the specific components selected. Instead of requiring users to know all possible compatibility parameters, the system automatically adjusts the information presented based on the current selection state, showing only relevant compatibility checks and assembly steps for the specific components chosen.
3Productivity
If automated component identification is implemented, then assembly efficiency is improved, but the system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system employs universal data structures and communication protocols that work across all UAS component types. The database schema, compatibility validation logic, and assembly instruction generation mechanisms are designed to handle diverse components through common interfaces, reducing the need for component-specific complex handling logic and making the automated system more efficient.
