1Extent of automation
If material synthesis techniques are automated using a pretrained synthesis prediction model, then the extent of automation and productivity are improved, but the device complexity increases due to the need for processors, memory, and multiple devices coordinated by synthesis methods
Solution Approach 1:
The material synthesis apparatus performs self-optimization by automatically determining synthesis methods and conditions based on synthesis results. The processor analyzes obtained synthesis results and autonomously adjusts synthesis parameters without requiring external intervention, enabling the system to serve itself in optimizing the synthesis process.
Solution Approach 2:
The apparatus implements a feedback mechanism where synthesis results are obtained and fed back to the processor. The processor then uses this feedback information to determine optimized synthesis methods and conditions for subsequent operations, creating a closed-loop control system that continuously improves synthesis outcomes.
2Productivity
If multiple devices are coordinated to perform synthesis operations based on determined synthesis methods, then the productivity and synthesis efficiency are improved, but the ease of operation deteriorates due to the complexity of controlling multiple devices
Solution Approach 1:
The processor automatically generates optimized synthesis methods and conditions based on synthesis results, eliminating the need for operators to manually program or adjust complex multi-device coordination. The system serves itself by autonomously determining the sequence and parameters of operations across multiple devices.
Solution Approach 2:
The apparatus performs preliminary determination of synthesis methods and conditions before executing the actual synthesis operations. The processor pre-calculates the optimal synthesis pathway and device coordination sequence based on the target molecule and available resources, simplifying the operational interface by presenting pre-optimized protocols to the operator.
