Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of digital metrology management technology, specifically to a laboratory metrology management system, method, equipment, and media based on a QMS system. Background Technology

[0002] Metrological equipment is a core infrastructure of a laboratory quality assurance system, and the standardization and effectiveness of its management directly affect the accuracy and reliability of test data. Traditional laboratory metrological management relies heavily on manual ledgers and paper documents, a management model with significant drawbacks. First, processes are fragmented, with data scattered across procurement, verification, use, and disposal stages, resulting in a lack of information flow and difficulty in tracing the entire lifecycle. Second, supervision is lagging, relying on periodic manual inspections, which cannot monitor equipment status in real time, easily leading to overdue inspections and potential quality risks. Third, management efficiency is low, with certificates easily lost or difficult to locate, and the preparation of materials for internal and external audits is time-consuming and labor-intensive. Finally, decision-making lacks data support, with decisions on calibration cycle adjustments and equipment disposal relying heavily on experience and lacking in-depth analysis of historical data.

[0003] With the deepening of digital transformation in the manufacturing industry and the national policy guidance on promoting the digital development of metrology, using information technology to improve the efficiency of metrology management has become an inevitable trend. Although some laboratories have introduced independent management software, it is often disconnected from the core quality management system (QMS), failing to achieve true process integration.

[0004] To address the shortcomings of the prior art, this invention provides a QMS-based laboratory metrology management system, method, equipment, and media that can be implemented in a factory. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the aforementioned deficiencies in the existing technology, the purpose of this invention is to provide a laboratory metrology management system, method, equipment, and medium based on a QMS system, enabling full lifecycle management of metrology equipment.

The digital ledger records the static and dynamic information of the equipment and uploads the factory certificate attachment. For the verification and calibration of measuring equipment, based on the verification / calibration cycle and equipment status in the digital ledger, a verification / calibration plan is generated in the QMS system. A reminder is sent to the responsible person before the plan expires, and the verification / calibration process is tracked and managed. The management of metrology equipment certificates involves electronically linking and storing the verification / calibration certificates of metrology equipment in the QMS system and binding them with the corresponding digital ledger of the equipment. Metrological testing and evaluation: Recording the verification / calibration results of metrological equipment, and evaluating and judging the equipment status based on the results; Rectification and follow-up of metrological issues: For equipment that fails verification / calibration, trace the non-compliance, record the non-compliance phenomena, cause analysis, and follow up on the handling measures; Data analysis and decision support: Based on digital ledgers and non-conformity traceability records, big data-based statistical analysis is conducted to generate decision support information, providing data basis for procurement and elimination.

[0007] Furthermore, the static information refers to the inherent, infrequently changing attributes of the equipment, including but not limited to: factory serial number, name, model specifications, manufacturer, serial number, brand, measuring range, accuracy class, management level, professional category, testing point name, user department, user, metrologist, and whether it is a standard instrument; the dynamic information refers to information that changes continuously with the use and life cycle of the equipment, including but not limited to: real-time status, such as qualified in use, under maintenance, sealed, scrapped, usage location, usage frequency, calibration date, verification / calibration cycle, validity period, maintenance records, and status change records.

[0010] Furthermore, the calibration and verification of the measuring equipment includes an annual plan and a monthly plan; a calibration reminder is sent to the designated responsible person one month before the plan expires via system message, email, or associated office software.

[0011] Furthermore, the non-conformity tracing involves creating a non-conformity handling report in the system, recording the non-conformity phenomenon, cause analysis, and follow-up handling measures, and linking the report to the corresponding equipment digital ledger.

[0012] In a second aspect, the present invention provides a laboratory metrology management system based on a QMS system, the system being used to perform the above-described method, comprising: The metering equipment information management module is used to establish and maintain a digital ledger of metering equipment. The digital ledger records the static and dynamic information of the equipment and uploads the factory certificate attachment. The metrology equipment verification and calibration module is used to generate a verification / calibration plan based on the verification / calibration cycle and equipment status in the digital ledger, send a reminder to the responsible person before the plan expires, and track and manage the verification / calibration process. The metrology equipment certificate management module is used to electronically link and store the verification / calibration certificates of metrology equipment and bind them to the corresponding equipment digital ledger; The metrology testing and evaluation module is used to record the verification / calibration results of metrology equipment and to evaluate and determine the equipment status based on the results; The metrology problem rectification and tracking module traces non-compliance for equipment that fails verification / calibration, records non-compliance phenomena, causes analysis, and tracks handling measures.

The system interface module is used to interface with the supply chain management (SRM) system to obtain procurement process data for metering equipment and perform data exchange.

[0013] Furthermore, in the metrology equipment verification and calibration module, a reminder is sent to the responsible person before the planned validity period expires. This reminder is a tiered warning system: a yellow reminder is sent one month before the expiration date, and a red alarm is issued after the expiration date. Additionally, information on this QMS can be pushed via DingTalk on mobile phones; for example, the verification plan for next month can be pushed to relevant personnel via mobile phone at the end of this month.

[0014] In a third aspect, the present invention provides an electronic device that implements the above-described method by executing a program.

[0015] In a fourth aspect, the present invention provides a computer-readable storage medium on which a program stored is executed by a processor to implement the above-described method.

[0016] The beneficial effects of this invention are: 1. The method of this invention seamlessly integrates metrological management into the QMS system, digitizing the entire process from equipment information entry, plan generation, certificate management to status monitoring, and centralizing data to eliminate information silos. At the same time, it establishes a digital twin model for each device that integrates static files, dynamic status, historical certificates, and change records, realizing an upgrade from static ledgers to dynamic digital twins. This forms an integral part of the quality system, achieving full-process digitization and improving traceability efficiency and compliance assurance capabilities during internal and external audits.

[0017] 2.
