[0015] Beneficial effects

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:

[0017] The automated and intelligent management methods have greatly improved the efficiency of reagent and consumable storage and management, reduced the tediousness and errors of manual operation, and provided 24 / 7 self-service for reagent and consumable cabinets, allowing people who place orders to pick up consumables at any time without waiting for delivery.

[0018] By implementing reasonable inventory management and procurement plans, we can avoid the backlog and waste of consumables, reduce inventory and management costs, and also reduce the workload of unit managers. This frees up positions that previously required dedicated personnel to collect reagents and consumables, thus reducing costs and increasing efficiency.

[0019] Reagent and consumable cabinets typically have multiple storage compartments, each capable of holding purchase orders from different individuals. Independent electronic locks and authentication mechanisms ensure the secure storage and retrieval of consumables, preventing loss or theft.

[0020] The user-friendly interface and convenient operation enhance the user experience, making the storage, retrieval, and management of consumables simpler and faster. Detailed Implementation

[0021] To better illustrate the content of this invention, the following description is provided in conjunction with embodiments:

[0022] This invention discloses a self-service reagent and consumable cabinet system, including intelligent hardware and supporting software. The intelligent hardware includes a self-service cabinet, an intelligent lock, a temperature and humidity sensor, a touch screen operating interface, and a face capture camera, which realizes the automatic storage, collection, monitoring, and management of reagents and consumables. The supporting software includes management software and a data analysis system.

[0023] Furthermore, the self-service cabinet is equipped with multiple independent storage compartments for storing reagents and consumables, the touch screen interface provides a user-friendly interactive experience, and the camera is used to monitor the storage and retrieval process to ensure safety.

[0024] Furthermore, the management software is used for comprehensive management of order taking, storage, and inventory of reagents and consumables; the data analysis system is responsible for in-depth mining and analysis of the collected data to provide decision support for managers.

[0025] Furthermore, the smart lock is an independent electronic lock installed in each individual storage compartment, combined with an identity verification mechanism (such as a retrieval code, scanning a QR code, etc.) to ensure the safe storage and retrieval of reagents and consumables.

[0026] Furthermore, QR code technology is used to automatically identify and record the access status of each reagent and consumable, ensuring the accuracy and real-time nature of the data.

[0027] Furthermore, users can access and manage data via a touchscreen. The interface is user-friendly, the operation is simple and quick, and it supports multiple languages ​​to meet the needs of users with different language backgrounds.

[0028] Furthermore, it also includes a cloud platform, which enables remote monitoring and management. Administrators can view the usage of the management cabinet in real time and make corresponding adjustments and optimizations.

[0029] Furthermore, the data analysis system records and analyzes consumable usage data, provides usage trends and management suggestions, and helps managers better understand reagent and consumable demand and market dynamics.

[0030] Furthermore, when abnormal situations such as illegal operation, excessive temperature and humidity, or gas leakage are detected, the system will automatically issue an alarm signal to remind users or administrators to handle the situation in a timely manner.

[0031] Furthermore, optional features include a temperature and humidity control module, a light-shielding module, an explosion-proof inner cavity, and a gas leak detection module.

[0032] Furthermore, the reagent and consumable self-service cabinet system will be integrated with the laboratory management system to achieve data sharing, process optimization, and automated management.

[0033] Specifically, when using the service, after receiving the consumable package, the delivery person scans the QR code on the package using a mobile application to confirm the order, then scans the QR code on the consumable locker to automatically open the locker door and place the consumable package into the designated locker compartment. While the consumables are being placed, the locker system records the order's placement time, locker location, and other information, and synchronizes this data with the platform's data.

[0034] Users receive a pickup notification via mobile application or SMS, including a pickup code, the location of the self-service locker, and the locker number. Upon arrival at the locker, users verify their identity by entering the pickup code or scanning a QR code. Once verified, the locker automatically opens the corresponding locker door, and the user retrieves the supplies and closes the locker door. While collecting the reagents and supplies, the locker system records the order's collection time, recipient information, and a photo of the person picking up the goods, and synchronizes this information with the platform's data.

[0035] The self-service lockers are equipped with high-definition cameras that monitor the interior in real time, ensuring the safety and hygiene of consumables. Simultaneously, the system monitors locker usage and malfunction information for timely maintenance and repair. The lockers maintain real-time communication with the platform's data center, uploading order information, delivery information, and pickup information for processing and analysis. The data center then uses this data to optimize delivery processes, improve efficiency, and enhance service quality.

[0036] Self-service lockers require regular maintenance and upkeep, including cleaning the locker and checking the operating status of devices such as sensors and cameras.

[0037] With the continuous advancement of technology and changes in user needs, the software system of self-service lockers also needs to be constantly upgraded and optimized to provide a better user experience and service quality.

[0038] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, and not to limit them; although the technical solutions of the present invention have been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features; and these modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the various embodiments of the present invention.
