Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of laboratory management technology, and in particular to a laboratory supplies management system and method. Background Technology

[0002] Laboratories in universities and research institutes are typically characterized by dispersed spatial layouts, diverse research content, a wide variety of supplies, frequent personnel turnover, and blurred lines of responsibility. Chemical reagents, scientific instruments, and experimental consumables, as core resources for scientific research activities, involve multiple roles and management units in their procurement, warehousing, storage, dispensing, use, and return. Currently, although some digital or semi-digital management tools exist in the industry, they generally suffer from the following limitations: Firstly, existing laboratory supplies management can be achieved through smart reagent cabinets. However, smart reagent cabinets and similar devices have obvious limitations and lack process-level management capabilities. These smart reagent cabinets mainly focus on the refined storage and control of the reagents themselves, but the management scope is usually limited to a single reagent cabinet, making it difficult to cover the entire management unit, such as the complete inventory system of a research group or college. Furthermore, they cannot be linked with upstream procurement processes, and it is difficult to achieve the sharing, requisition, and tracking of reagents across laboratories or reagent cabinets.

[0003] Secondly, existing laboratory supplies management software tends to focus on single-point operations and lacks end-to-end integration capabilities, making it unsuitable for the highly flexible usage environment in scientific research laboratories.

[0004] Therefore, existing laboratory supplies management technologies suffer from significant disconnects between procurement, usage, and management. Procurement often only handles order processing, lacking a final warehousing stage, making it impossible to establish a complete closed-loop chain of procurement-warehousing-usage-verification / return. Scientific research activities inherently involve a wide variety of reagent types with diverse properties, multiple uses for a single item, and frequent cross-laboratory circulation, necessitating bulk warehousing and outbound processes. Laboratory supplies orders often comprise a mix of reagents, instruments, and consumables, making it impossible for research groups to manage their research workflows using existing laboratory supplies management systems. Summary of the Invention

Detailed Implementation

[0012] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0013] It should be noted that the terms "first," "second," etc., in the specification, claims, and accompanying drawings of this invention are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such data can be interchanged where appropriate so that the embodiments of the invention described herein can be implemented in orders other than those illustrated or described herein. Furthermore, the terms "comprising" and "having," and any variations thereof, are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion; for example, a process, method, system, product, or apparatus that comprises a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units explicitly listed, but may include other steps or units not explicitly listed or inherent to such processes, methods, products, or apparatus.

[0014] Example 1 Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of a laboratory supplies management system provided in Embodiment 1 of the present invention. This embodiment is applicable to laboratory supplies management situations, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the laboratory supplies management system 100 includes an order management module 110, a laboratory supplies management module 120, and an inventory management module 130.

[0015] The order management module 110 is used to determine the experimental supplies order data and send the experimental supplies order data to the inventory management module.

[0016] In this embodiment, the experimental supplies order data refers to all order information generated when purchasing experimental supplies. Experimental supplies include experimental consumables, reagents, and instruments, etc. The order information may include the name of the purchased experimental supplies, the specifications and models of the purchased experimental supplies, the type of purchased experimental supplies, the quantity of purchased experimental supplies, the unit price of purchased experimental supplies, and the purchase date, etc.

[0017] The laboratory supplies management system in this embodiment can also be linked to the supplier system to procure laboratory supplies in real time based on the supplier's warehouse inventory, enabling mixed procurement of various types of items such as reagents, instruments, and consumables. For example, a purchase order for laboratory supplies is sent to the supplier. If the supplier is out of stock, feedback is provided, and the procurement personnel modify the purchase order and resend it to the supplier system. Furthermore, after the supplier completes delivery, the laboratory administrator confirms the distribution of the delivered laboratory supplies. Once the procured laboratory supplies have been distributed, the person who submitted the laboratory supplies order confirms receipt.

[0018] When laboratory supplies order information enters the warehousing process, the laboratory supplies order data is sent to the inventory management module for data association, establishing a link between laboratory supplies order data and inventory data. This enables the provision of auxiliary prompts based on laboratory budget, inventory status, or safety category requirements, ensuring laboratory supplies procurement assistance and laboratory supplies inventory management.

[0019] In addition, this system can also handle procurement requests, management approvals, and supplier interactions for laboratory supplies through the order management module. Specifically, by confirming the procurement information for laboratory supplies and displaying it visually, the system allows the overall administrator or laboratory administrator to approve the procurement information. Based on the approval results, the system determines the laboratory supply order data, including approval and rejection. It should be noted that the laboratory supply order data only includes approved procurement information.

[0020] The experimental supplies management module 120 is used to determine the experimental supplies usage data and send the experimental supplies usage data to the inventory management module.

[0021] In this embodiment, the experimental supplies usage data refers to all usage information generated when experimental supplies are consumed in the laboratory. Experimental supplies include experimental consumables, reagents, and instruments, etc. The usage information includes the name of the experimental supplies used, the specifications and models of the experimental supplies used, the type of experimental supplies used, the quantity used, and the date of use.

[0022] In practical applications, when a laboratory requests the use of experimental supplies, the laboratory personnel requesting the use of the supplies submit the usage data, which is then visualized. The laboratory administrator reviews the requested usage data, and the review results include approval and rejection.

[0023] It should be noted that this system manages data on the use of laboratory supplies through the laboratory supplies management module, and sends the laboratory supplies usage data to the inventory management module for data association, thereby realizing the laboratory's laboratory supplies inventory management.

[0024] The inventory management module 130 is used to determine inventory data, update the inventory data according to the experimental supplies order data after the experimental supplies are received, and update the inventory data according to the experimental supplies usage data after the experimental supplies are shipped.

[0025] In this embodiment, the inventory data refers to the inventory information of various experimental supplies in the laboratory warehouse. The experimental supplies include experimental consumables, reagents, and instruments. The inventory information represents the information of all experimental supplies stored in the laboratory warehouse. The inventory data includes the name of the experimental supplies, the specifications and models of the experimental supplies, the types of supplies, the quantities of supplies, and the current time.

[0026] It should be noted that existing laboratory supplies management technologies suffer from significant disconnect between procurement, usage, and inventory management. The procurement module often only handles order processing, lacking a final warehousing stage, thus failing to establish a complete closed-loop chain of procurement application – approval – supplier delivery – warehousing – usage – verification / return. Furthermore, scientific research activities inherently involve a wide variety of reagent types with diverse properties, multiple uses for a single item, and frequent cross-laboratory circulation, necessitating bulk inventory management. Laboratory supplies orders often comprise a mix of reagents, instruments, and consumables, making it impossible for existing methods to manage the entire research process through a single system.

[0027] Therefore, in practical application, after the purchased experimental supplies are distributed, the person who submitted the order data confirms receipt, and the order information enters the warehousing process. After the supplies are received, the inventory data is updated based on the order data. Similarly, after the requested experimental supplies are distributed, the person who submitted the usage data confirms receipt, and the usage data enters the outbound process. After the supplies are issued, the inventory data is updated based on the usage data.

[0028] This laboratory supplies management system enables the inventory management module to link with the order management module and the laboratory supplies management module, automating the process from laboratory supplies receiving to inventory updates and from laboratory supplies leaving to inventory updates, thereby improving the management efficiency of laboratory supplies.

[0029] In this embodiment, the inventory management module 130 is specifically used for: Determine inventory data and obtain laboratory supplies order data; The types of experimental supplies to be received and the quantity of each type of experimental supplies to be received are determined based on the experimental supplies order data. The inventory data is updated based on the types and quantities of experimental supplies received.

[0030] In this embodiment, the types of experimental supplies entering the warehouse are the types of experimental supplies purchased in the experimental supplies order data, and the quantity of experimental supplies entering the warehouse is the quantity of each type of experimental supplies purchased in the experimental supplies order data.

[0031] After the experimental supplies are received into the warehouse, the types of experimental supplies and the quantity of each type of experimental supplies are determined based on the experimental supplies order data. Then, the same types of experimental supplies are searched in the inventory data according to the types of experimental supplies received. Then, the quantity of each type of experimental supplies in the inventory data is updated according to the quantity of each type of experimental supplies received. The updated quantity of the current experimental supplies type is the sum of the quantity of the current experimental supplies type received and the historical quantity of the current experimental supplies type.

[0032] The inventory management module 130 is also specifically used for: Determine inventory data and obtain data on the use of experimental supplies; The types of experimental supplies to be shipped out and the quantity of each type of experimental supplies to be shipped out are determined based on the usage data of the experimental supplies. The inventory data is updated based on the types and quantities of experimental supplies issued.

[0033] In this embodiment, the types of experimental supplies to be released are the types of experimental supplies requested for release in the experimental supplies usage data, and the quantity of experimental supplies to be released is the quantity of each type of experimental supplies requested for release in the experimental supplies usage data.

[0034] After experimental supplies are issued, the types of experimental supplies issued and the quantities of each type are determined based on the usage data. Then, the same types of experimental supplies are searched in the inventory data based on the types of experimental supplies issued. Finally, the quantities of each type of experimental supplies in the inventory data are updated based on the quantities of each type of experimental supplies issued. The updated current quantity of experimental supplies is the difference between the historical quantity of experimental supplies for the current type and the quantity of experimental supplies issued for the current type.

[0035] See Figure 2 The diagram shown is a structural schematic of another laboratory supplies management system in this embodiment. The laboratory supplies management system 100 includes an order management module 110, a laboratory supplies management module 120, an inventory management module 130, a laboratory supplies coding module 140, a laboratory supplies circulation module 150, and a laboratory supplies verification module 160.

[0036] The system also includes a laboratory supplies coding module 140, specifically used for: Determine the ownership information of candidate experimental supplies, including the type of experimental supplies, the laboratory to which they belong, the personnel to which they belong, and their storage location; An identification code is generated for the experimental supplies based on the ownership information and the identification code is attached to the surface of the candidate experimental supply container, wherein the ownership information of the candidate experimental supplies is bound to the identification code of the candidate experimental supplies.

[0037] In this embodiment, the candidate experimental supplies can be experimental supplies applied for. The attribution information includes the name of the candidate experimental supplies, the laboratory to which the candidate experimental supplies belong, the experimental personnel to which the candidate experimental supplies belong, and the storage location of the candidate experimental supplies. The attribution information is used to describe the laboratory, location, and experimental personnel information to which the candidate experimental supplies are to be assigned.

[0038] When a candidate experimental item is requested for use, a unique identification code is generated for the item based on its code, the laboratory to which the request belongs, the personnel to which it belongs, and its storage location. In practical applications, this identification code can preferably be a QR code label with a highly fault-tolerant structure, ensuring that the label can carry information such as the item name, code, laboratory, personnel to which it belongs, and storage location. The identification code is then affixed to the surface of the candidate item's container, preferably using a corrosion-resistant and high / low temperature coated self-adhesive label to adapt to the laboratory environment.

[0039] When candidate experimental supplies are to be put into storage, a unique identifier can be generated for each candidate experimental supply through the experimental supply coding module when the supply enters the storage process. An identifier label is then affixed to the surface of the container. Further, after laboratory management personnel confirm the identifier by scanning the code, the candidate experimental supply is placed into inventory status. The laboratory administrator then sets the ownership information and management permissions for the instrument, thus establishing the beginning record of the experimental supply's lifecycle.

[0040] It should be noted that this system can also perform operations such as scanning and storing laboratory supplies, scanning and querying, scanning and transferring ownership, and scanning and verifying through identification codes, thereby meeting the needs of batch scanning and managing laboratory supplies and improving the efficiency of laboratory supply management.

[0041] The system also includes a laboratory supplies transfer module 150, specifically used for: When target experimental materials are transferred between different experimental personnel or laboratories, the transfer information of the target experimental materials is determined; the transfer information includes the transferring laboratory, the transferring experimental personnel, the transferring storage location, and the transfer time; The ownership information of the target experimental supplies is changed based on the transfer information.

[0042] In this embodiment, the target experimental supplies can be experimental supplies that are transferred between different experimental personnel or laboratories. The transfer information includes the transferring laboratory, the transferring experimental personnel, the transfer storage location, and the transfer time.

[0043] It should be noted that during the use of the target experimental supplies, the target experimental supplies may be transferred between different experimental personnel or different laboratories. By determining the transfer information of the target experimental supplies during the transfer, the ownership information of the target experimental supplies can be overridden based on the transfer information.

[0044] Specifically, the system updates the ownership information of the transferred laboratory, the ownership information of the transferred personnel, and the storage location based on the transferred storage location. By updating the ownership information of the target experimental supplies in real time, the system avoids inconsistencies in ownership information during the transfer process, improves the accuracy and security of experimental supplies information management, and enables controllable transfer of the target experimental supplies.

[0045] In addition, during the use of the target experimental supplies, since the ownership information of the experimental supplies is bound to the identification code of the experimental supplies, the ownership information of the experimental supplies can be queried and the ownership transfer operation can be carried out by scanning the identification code. The ownership information of the target experimental supplies can be changed, and the ownership information before and after the transfer and the transfer time can be automatically recorded, thereby forming a traceable record of the flow of experimental supplies and a complete experimental supplies usage log, improving the efficiency, accuracy and traceability of experimental supplies management.

[0046] The system also includes a laboratory supplies verification module 160, specifically used for: When the target experimental supplies are used up, reach the end of their service life, or are no longer under the scope of laboratory management, the ownership information of the target experimental supplies shall be deleted.

[0047] In this embodiment, when chemical reagents are used up, expire, reach the disposal conditions, or are no longer within the scope of laboratory management, the identification code of the target experimental material is scanned through the experimental material verification module to delete the ownership information of the target experimental material, thus completing the verification operation of the target experimental material. Simultaneously, this system can also automatically trigger inventory data reduction or deletion operations based on the verification operation, and record the ownership information of the deleted target experimental material as verification information in the lifecycle file of the target experimental material, realizing full lifecycle management of the target experimental material.

[0048] In addition, this laboratory supplies management system can be configured with a role management module to assign roles to each login account, allowing different personnel to log in and manage the system. This enables hierarchical control over the procurement, inventory, and management permissions of laboratory supplies. The different personnel roles include global administrator, laboratory administrator, instrument administrator, general user, and supplier roles.

[0049] Specifically, the global administrator has the highest privileges and is used to uniformly configure and manage the permissions of other roles within the system, including but not limited to setting or removing the permissions of designated users as laboratory administrators or instrument administrators. Role setting or removal operations take effect immediately upon confirmation and are synchronously updated to other modules of the laboratory supplies management system.

[0050] When the global administrator assigns a laboratory administrator role to a user, that user gains permissions to approve laboratory supply purchase orders, manage laboratory supply warehousing and inventory, and edit reagent cabinet and storage locations within the corresponding laboratory. When the global administrator assigns an experimental administrator role to a user, that user gains permissions to manage laboratory supply warehousing, querying, transfer, return, and reservation. When the global administrator removes the laboratory administrator or instrument administrator role permissions, the system automatically revokes the corresponding permissions.

[0051] Furthermore, the global administrator also has the authority to submit, view, approve, and modify experimental supplies purchase orders, as well as the authority to enter, query, transfer, edit, and verify / return experimental supplies. Additionally, the administrator has the authority to scan barcodes for entry, query, transfer, and verification, and can download all system data.

[0052] The laboratory administrator is responsible for managing the procurement and inventory of laboratory supplies within their assigned laboratory. They have the authority to submit, view, approve, and modify laboratory supply purchase orders, as well as the authority to receive, query, transfer, edit, and verify reagents / consumables. They also have the authority to edit the laboratory reagent cabinets and their storage locations, and the authority to scan barcodes for receiving, querying, transferring, and verifying.

[0053] The instrument administrator is responsible for managing the inventory and use of experimental instruments. They have the authority to submit and view purchase orders for experimental supplies, as well as the authority to receive, query, transfer, and verify reagents and reagent consumables. They also have the authority to receive, query, return, and reserve instruments, and have the authority to scan barcodes for receiving, querying, transferring, and verifying.

[0054] Ordinary users are responsible for the daily use and management of laboratory supplies. They have the authority to submit and view laboratory supply purchase orders, the authority to enter, query, transfer and verify their own reagents and consumables, the authority to enter, query and reserve instruments, and the authority to scan codes for entry, query, transfer and verify.

[0055] The supplier is responsible for receiving and managing the delivery of experimental supplies, and has the authority to view the purchase orders and submit delivery information.

[0056] Furthermore, the lab supplies barcode scanning entry operation involves entering reagent or instrument information by recognizing the identification code; the lab supplies barcode scanning query operation involves recognizing the identification code and displaying the ownership information of the corresponding lab supplies; the lab supplies barcode scanning transfer operation involves changing the ownership information of lab supplies by recognizing the identification code; the lab supplies barcode scanning verification operation involves verifying and returning lab supplies by recognizing the identification code; and the lab supplies barcode scanning batch operation involves continuously recognizing multiple identification codes to achieve batch entry, query, transfer, or verification of a single type of lab supplies. Specific Implementation This laboratory supplies management system is applicable to the entire lifecycle management of laboratory supplies.

[0058] First, ordinary users submit chemical reagent purchase orders through the order management module. After the laboratory administrator approves the order, the overall administrator sends the purchase order to the supplier. After the supplier completes the delivery, the laboratory administrator confirms the distribution of the delivered chemical reagents, the user who submitted the purchase order confirms receipt, the laboratory administrator designates the storage location, and the laboratory supplies order data is transferred to the inventory management module.

[0059] In the reagent receiving process, a unique identification code is generated for each bottle of chemical reagent based on the laboratory supplies coding module, and a QR code label is affixed to the surface of the container. After the identification code is scanned and confirmed, the chemical reagent enters the inventory status, and the beginning record of the chemical reagent's life cycle is formed.

[0060] Once chemical reagents are in stock, ordinary users can retrieve them using their identification codes or key information to find details such as the reagent's name, specifications, assigned personnel, assigned laboratory, and storage location. Laboratory administrators and overall administrators can also perform the same operations by scanning the reagent identification code label.

[0061] When chemical reagents are transferred between different researchers or laboratories, authorized users can change the reagent ownership information through a transfer operation. The laboratory supplies transfer module automatically records the submitted transfer information and updates the ownership information of the reagent, thus forming a traceable reagent flow record.

[0062] During reagent use, the inventory management subsystem records reagent queries, transfers, information editing, and usage registration operations to form a complete reagent usage log.

[0063] When chemical reagents are used up, expired, or no longer needed, authorized users can use the laboratory supplies verification module to identify the reagent identification code and delete the reagent's ownership information to complete the reagent verification. At the same time, the module automatically performs inventory reduction or deletion operations and records the verification information in the reagent lifecycle file.

[0064] The above methods enable digital management of the entire process of chemical reagents, from procurement, warehousing, use, circulation, and verification, avoiding problems such as duplicate procurement and discrepancies between physical and physical items, and improving the accuracy and security of chemical reagent management.

[0065] This laboratory management system is applicable to the complete inventory system of research groups or colleges, and can be used for the full life cycle management and reservation of experimental instruments in research groups or colleges.

[0066] The procurement process for laboratory instruments is the same as that for chemical reagents. After the supplier completes the delivery, the laboratory administrator confirms the arrival of the laboratory instruments, the user who submitted the purchase order confirms receipt, and the laboratory supplies order data is transferred to the inventory management module.

[0067] In the experimental instrument warehousing process, the experimental supplies coding module generates a unique identification code for the experimental instrument and affixes a QR code label to the surface of the experimental instrument to represent the identification code. After confirmation by scanning the code, the experimental instrument enters the inventory status, and the instrument administrator sets the ownership information and management permissions of the instrument, and forms the start record of the experimental instrument's life cycle.

[0068] Regular users can query the ownership information and available time slots of experimental instruments by using key information such as instrument name, specifications, or identification code; instrument administrators and global administrators can also perform the above operations by scanning the instrument identification code.

[0069] When ordinary users have a need to use experimental instruments, they can submit instrument usage data through the experimental supplies management module. The reservation application will be reviewed or adjusted by the instrument administrator, and a reservation record or experimental supplies usage data will be generated in the experimental supplies management module.

[0070] During instrument use, the laboratory supplies management system can be used to record operations such as instrument reservation, inquiry, and information editing, which can be used to form a complete instrument usage log.

[0071] When experimental instruments reach the end of their service life or are no longer under the scope of laboratory management, authorized users can identify the instrument identification code through the experimental supplies verification module, delete the ownership information of the experimental instruments, complete the return of the instruments to the warehouse, and save the return history information.

[0072] The aforementioned laboratory supplies management system enables full lifecycle management of laboratory instruments, from procurement, warehousing, reservation, use to return, thereby improving the efficiency and standardization of the use of public laboratory instruments.

[0073] This invention discloses a laboratory supplies management system, comprising an order management module, a laboratory supplies management module, and an inventory management module. The order management module determines laboratory supplies order data and sends it to the inventory management module. The laboratory supplies management module determines laboratory supplies usage data and sends it to the inventory management module. The inventory management module determines inventory data, updates it based on order data after supplies are received, and updates it based on usage data after supplies are issued. This invention, through its order management module, laboratory supplies management module, inventory management module, laboratory supplies coding module, laboratory supplies circulation module, and laboratory supplies verification module, enables full lifecycle management of laboratory supplies from procurement, warehousing, use, circulation, and verification, improving management efficiency, standardization, and accuracy.
