Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In the manufacturing industry, existing methods fail to effectively model and divert production instructions across different devices and factories, leading to variations in productivity and quality due to differences in equipment and work processes, and lack consideration for worker status data in estimating optimal work procedures.
Innovation Solution
An information processing device that acquires record data including Man data and associates it with a work model to estimate the current work status, allowing for the derivation of recommended work content that can be applied across various manufacturing sites and equipment.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If a production instruction model is constructed using past production records, then productivity and quality can be improved, but the model cannot be diverted between different devices and factories since equipment and work are different
Solution Approach 1:
The production instruction model is segmented into device-specific components and universal components. The system divides the model into parts that are specific to particular equipment and parts that can be applied across different devices and factories, enabling selective diversion and adaptation of model elements.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes parameters of the production instruction model to adapt it for different devices and factories. By adjusting model parameters and configuration settings, the same base model can be customized for specific equipment while maintaining core productive elements, thus achieving both productivity improvement and model divertibility.
2Loss of time
If work path information is extracted from structure information of a similar work model, then input work of operators is reduced, but the method cannot be diverted when assumed work models between factories and devices are different
Solution Approach 1:
The work path extraction method is designed with universal applicability across different factories and devices. The system extracts work path information using a standardized approach that can be applied to various work models, enabling the method to serve multiple functions and contexts while reducing operator input work consistently.
Solution Approach 2:
The system creates adaptable copies of work path information from similar work models. Instead of rigid copying, the method generates customizable instances that can be adjusted for different devices and factories, maintaining the time-saving benefit while achieving divertibility through flexible replication.
3Productivity
If an optimal maintenance work procedure is estimated based on failure recovery rate and work time, then maintenance efficiency is improved, but there is no countermeasure against situation variation that changes from time to time
Solution Approach 1:
The maintenance work procedure estimation system incorporates dynamic adjustment capabilities. It continuously adapts to changing situations by updating estimates based on current conditions, equipment state, and historical data, allowing the system to maintain efficiency while responding to temporal variations and unexpected changes.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements feedback mechanisms that monitor actual maintenance outcomes and use this information to improve future estimates. By incorporating feedback from completed maintenance tasks and observed situation variations, the system adjusts its estimation algorithms to better handle changing conditions while maintaining overall efficiency.
