Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the automation system schedules operations based on time without verifying temporal constraints, then the scheduling simplicity is maintained, but the sample deterioration occurs due to excessively long exposure time
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary verification of temporal constraints before executing the automated process. It calculates the total duration of transfer operations between adjacent nodes and compares it with preset temporal constraints to determine whether the process can be executed reliably, preventing sample deterioration before it occurs.
Solution Approach 2:
The system establishes a feedback mechanism that monitors the actual execution duration of transfer operations and compares it with the preset temporal constraints. When the duration exceeds the constraint, the system provides feedback to adjust the scheduling or alert operators, ensuring sample efficacy is maintained.
2Device complexity
If the automation system ignores temporal constraints for simplicity, then the device complexity is reduced, but the process reliability deteriorates due to sample deterioration
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary verification of temporal constraints before executing the automated process. It calculates the total duration of transfer operations between adjacent nodes and compares it with preset temporal constraints to determine whether the process can be executed reliably, preventing sample deterioration before it occurs.
3Productivity
If the automation system extends transfer operation duration without verification, then the productivity is improved, but the sample quality deteriorates due to excessive exposure time
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary verification of temporal constraints before executing the automated process. It calculates the total duration of transfer operations between adjacent nodes and compares it with preset temporal constraints to determine whether the process can be executed reliably, preventing sample deterioration before it occurs.
Solution Approach 2:
The system establishes a feedback mechanism that monitors the actual execution duration of transfer operations and compares it with the preset temporal constraints. When the duration exceeds the constraint, the system provides feedback to adjust the scheduling or alert operators, ensuring sample efficacy is maintained.

AI summary
Embodiments of the present application provide an automated process management method and apparatus, an electronic device, and a storage medium. The method comprises: acquiring time constraint information between two adjacent nodes in an automated process, wherein the time constraint information is used for constraining execution time of executing a transfer operation on a target between the two adjacent nodes; according to the connection relationship of the two adjacent nodes in the automated process, determining an execution sequence of minimum sub-operations between the two adjacent nodes; at least according to the execution sequence and preset execution time of each minimum sub-operation, determining total time of executing the transfer operation between the two adjacent nodes; and according to the total time, verifying whether the time constraint information is reasonable. This solution can ensure the effectiveness of a target in an automated process, and therefore can ensure that the automated process is accurately and smoothly performed.
