Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If machine learning techniques are used to process sensor data for failure prediction, then prediction accuracy is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The sensor data is separated into multiple characteristic data sets based on different operating characteristics (e.g., engine load, temperature, speed). Each data set is processed independently through the predictive model, allowing the system to handle complexity in a modular fashion while maintaining high prediction accuracy for different operating conditions.
Solution Approach 2:
The system transforms raw sensor data into characteristic data sets by applying different processing parameters and transformations based on operating characteristics. This parameter-based approach enables the predictive model to accurately detect anomalies across varying operating conditions without requiring a completely different system for each scenario.
2Loss of information
If severity determination based on operating characteristics is implemented, then alert relevance is improved, but processing time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system pre-establishes multiple characteristic data sets corresponding to different operating characteristics before actual failure detection is needed. When sensor data is received, the system quickly matches the current operating conditions to the appropriate pre-defined characteristic data set, enabling rapid severity determination without extensive real-time processing.
Solution Approach 2:
The system provides customized alerts with different levels of detail and urgency based on the specific operating characteristics and severity level detected. Each alert is tailored to the local conditions (specific operating characteristic and anomaly severity), delivering relevant information efficiently without unnecessary processing overhead.
