Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a fixed quality control specimen selection method is used, then the system operation is simplified, but the adaptability to different laboratory needs is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The system allows dynamic setting of quality control conditions (timing, frequency, specimen selection criteria) that can be adjusted according to different laboratory needs and requirements, transforming the fixed operation into a flexible, adaptable process while maintaining ease of use through automated configuration
2Productivity
If automated quality control specimen selection is implemented, then the productivity is improved, but the flexibility for customized protocols is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The system enables users to modify key parameters of quality control operations (timing intervals, frequency, selection criteria, specimen types) to customize protocols for different laboratory requirements while maintaining automated execution, thus achieving both high productivity and protocol flexibility
