Automated Testing With Server-Controlled Laboratory Equipment
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing testing systems for electronic elements require manual setting of parameters, leading to increased error rates, testing time, and costs, as well as decreased convenience of use.
Innovation Solution
An automated testing system comprising a server device, a testing device, and laboratory equipment, where the server stores laboratory equipment data, and the testing device sets parameters, generates control commands, tests devices, and stores results, while the server controls laboratory equipment operations and stores states.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If manual parameter setting is used in testing systems, then ease of operation is maintained, but parameter setting error rate increases and testing precision deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The testing device automatically reads laboratory equipment data from the server and generates control commands without manual parameter setting. The system serves itself by automatically obtaining equipment data, determining testing parameters, and generating control commands, eliminating manual intervention while maintaining high accuracy.
Solution Approach 2:
The manual mechanical process of setting parameters is replaced by an automated information processing system. The testing device automatically retrieves equipment data, processes it to determine testing parameters, and generates control commands through electronic computation rather than manual mechanical adjustment.
2Productivity
If manual parameter setting and result compilation is required, then device complexity is reduced, but testing time increases and productivity decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The server consolidates multiple functions including data storage, equipment data management, and control command generation. The testing device combines data reading, parameter determination, and command generation in one integrated system, eliminating separate manual steps for parameter setting and result compilation.
Solution Approach 2:
The server acts as an intermediary between the testing device and laboratory equipment. It stores equipment data and receives control commands from the testing device, then transmits appropriate commands to the laboratory equipment, streamlining the overall testing process.
3Loss of time
If manual operation is used for testing, then ease of operation is maintained, but testing cost and time consumption increase
Solution Approach 1:
The automated system enables continuous operation without manual intervention. The testing device continuously reads equipment data, generates control commands, and the server continuously manages data and commands, creating an uninterrupted automated testing flow that eliminates idle time between manual operations.
