Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current technologies inadequately monitor the state of predetermined areas, such as plants, and fail to accurately transmit monitoring results to administrators.
Innovation Solution
A management system comprising sensors installed in predetermined areas, a management device that acquires and accumulates sensor information wirelessly, performs abnormality determination, and notifies and displays the results, allowing for accurate monitoring and transmission of area states.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If current monitoring technologies are used, then basic area monitoring is achieved, but accurate transmission of monitoring results to administrators is not achieved
Solution Approach 1:
The system establishes a closed-loop feedback mechanism where sensor data is continuously collected, analyzed against registered tendencies and thresholds, and results are transmitted back to administrators. This feedback loop ensures accurate information transmission by comparing actual measurements with expected patterns and notifying stakeholders of deviations.
Solution Approach 2:
The management device acts as an intermediary between sensors and administrators. It receives raw sensor information, processes it through abnormality determination using registered tendencies and thresholds, and transmits only meaningful results to administrators, thereby reducing information loss and improving transmission accuracy.
2Area of stationary object
If multiple sensors are deployed to improve monitoring coverage, then area monitoring capability is enhanced, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
Multiple sensors are merged into a unified management system that collects information from all sensors through a single management device. This consolidation approach allows extensive monitoring coverage while maintaining manageable system complexity by centralizing data processing and abnormality determination functions.
Solution Approach 2:
The management device is designed with universal functionality to handle data from multiple sensor types and locations. It performs multiple functions including data collection, accumulation, abnormality determination using registered tendencies and thresholds, result transmission, and display control, thereby managing complexity through multi-functional integration.
3Measurement precision
If sensor information is continuously monitored and analyzed, then abnormality detection accuracy is improved, but data processing time increases
Solution Approach 1:
Tendencies and thresholds are registered in advance before actual monitoring begins. This preliminary action allows the system to quickly compare incoming sensor data against pre-established criteria, improving abnormality detection accuracy while reducing real-time processing time by avoiding complex calculations during critical monitoring phases.
