Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of laboratory equipment management, and in particular to a visual networked laboratory equipment management system and method. Background Art

[0002] At present, the equipment management system of many school laboratories is still in its infancy, mainly relying on manual records and electronic spreadsheets for management. While this traditional management model meets basic record needs, it also exposes a series of problems. For example, manual recording methods are prone to omissions or errors, resulting in incomplete equipment usage records and unclear equipment responsibility division, further exacerbating the chaos of equipment management. In addition, with the continuous increase in the types and number of equipment in the laboratory, this traditional model has been unable to meet the efficient needs of modern laboratory management.

[0003] Laboratory equipment is generally highly professional and complex to operate. Many devices require strict authority control and professional operation guidance during use. However, the existing management method lacks effective authority control. Misoperation by unauthorized personnel or improper use of equipment may cause equipment damage, loss of experimental data, and even safety accidents, bringing great risks to laboratory management.

[0004] Existing technical problems:

[0005] Incomplete equipment usage records Laboratory equipment usage records are usually filled out manually, which makes it difficult to fully and accurately track the equipment's usage status, usage duration, and responsible person information. This incomplete recording method not only affects the management efficiency of laboratory equipment, but also makes it difficult to ensure the fairness and transparency of laboratory equipment use.

[0006] High equipment management costs The daily management of laboratory equipment usually requires a dedicated person, including the allocation of equipment use rights, the organization of equipment maintenance records, etc. This manpower-dependent approach not only has low management efficiency, but also significantly increases management costs when there are a large number of devices.

[0007] Low safety of equipment operation Existing laboratory equipment management systems usually lack an effective authority control mechanism. Unauthorized personnel may use equipment without permission, resulting in equipment damage or operational errors. In addition, operators lack systematic guidance and may make mistakes due to unfamiliarity with equipment operation procedures.

[0008] Insufficient data analysis capabilities Traditional laboratory management methods usually lack in-depth analysis of equipment usage data. For example, data such as equipment usage frequency, idle rate, and failure rate are usually not effectively collected and analyzed. The lack of these data supports makes it difficult for laboratories to scientifically optimize the allocation of equipment resources and maintenance plans.

[0009] The traditional management method is difficult to achieve real-time monitoring and data synchronization of equipment status. For example, when equipment fails or is abnormal, laboratory administrators often cannot learn about the status of the equipment in time, missing the best maintenance time, affecting the normal use of the equipment and the progress of the experiment.

[0010] Based on the above requirements, the present invention proposes a visual networked laboratory equipment management system and a management method thereof. Summary of the invention

[0190] The visual networked laboratory equipment management method includes the following steps:

[0191] Step S1: Verify user identity and authorize use of device

[0192] The user needs to use an authorized NFC card close to the NFC reader of the device, and the slave will read the user identity information and unique ID in the card.

[0193] The slave transmits the read information to the host database in an encrypted manner (AES encryption protocol). The host compares the user identity data to determine whether the user has the device operation authority.

[0194] After successful verification, the system allocates an operation scope based on the user's permissions, including the permission to start, stop or adjust parameters of the device.

[0229] The alarm trigger unit generates alarm information, including the device number, fault type and occurrence time, and sends it to relevant personnel (administrators, technicians) through the notification distribution unit.

[0230] Notifications are sent in the form of text messages, emails or APP push notifications to ensure that fault information is delivered in a timely manner.

[0241] This method covers the complete process from user identity authentication to device operation, status monitoring, data synchronization, fault alarm and data analysis, emphasizing the coherence and coordination between each step. Each step not only explains the implementation method in detail, but also combines the technical effects and extended functions, providing strong support for the practical application of the invention.

[0242] Example 1: Real-time monitoring of equipment operating status and fault response

[0243] Optical equipment commonly used in laboratories (microscopes, spectrophotometers) are prone to operational failures when used frequently. Traditional management models cannot monitor the operating status of equipment in a timely manner, and failures are often discovered only after the equipment is deactivated, resulting in experimental interruptions or equipment damage.

[0244] System deployment: Install the visual networked laboratory equipment management system of the present invention in the laboratory. Each device is connected to the slave machine, including the NFC identity authentication module, the state monitoring sensor (temperature, current sensor) and the data acquisition module.

[0245] Device operation monitoring: The user starts the device after completing the identity authentication through the NFC card. The system monitors the device operation status (temperature, current changes) in real time and synchronizes it to the host through the wireless network.

[0246] Fault detection and response: When the equipment operating temperature exceeds the safety threshold (exceeding the set 40°C), the system automatically triggers an alarm through the status monitoring unit.

[0247] The alarm information is sent to the administrator via SMS and APP push, including the device number, fault type, occurrence time, etc.
