Validation Device for Analysis Control Software Inspection
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The manual validation of analysis control software is cumbersome due to numerous inspection items, and while automation reduces time and labor, it compromises validation reliability, making it difficult to meet both requirements simultaneously.
Innovation Solution
A validation device and method that utilize an inspection executor to generate operation commands for the analysis control software to execute inspections automatically, allowing for sequential execution of operations on displayed operation images, thereby reducing manual intervention and enhancing reliability.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If validation is automated by generating operation commands sequentially, then time and labor for validation are reduced, but reliability of validation is lowered because it cannot be easily confirmed whether the same inspection as manual inspection has been executed properly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a copy of the manual inspection process by capturing the performer's operation sequence on operation images and replaying it automatically. The validation device records the order in which a performer clicks operation images during manual inspection, then automatically executes the same sequence of operations, ensuring the automated validation replicates the trusted manual process exactly.
Solution Approach 2:
The system provides feedback by displaying operation images and their execution status to the performer. The validation device shows which operation images have been executed and in what order, allowing the performer to verify that the automated inspection follows the correct sequence. This visual feedback mechanism maintains confidence in validation reliability while enabling automation.
2Reliability
If a large number of inspection items are included in validation, then validation comprehensiveness is improved, but manual inspection becomes cumbersome and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The validation system performs self-service by automatically executing the inspection sequence without requiring the performer to manually click through each operation image. Once the operation sequence is captured during manual inspection, the system autonomously replays the entire sequence, validating all inspection items automatically. This eliminates the time-consuming repetitive manual operations while maintaining comprehensive validation coverage.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary action by capturing and storing the operation sequence during an initial manual inspection. This recorded sequence is then reused for subsequent automated validations, eliminating the need to repeatedly perform the same time-consuming manual inspection steps while ensuring all inspection items are consistently validated.

AI summary
Analysis control software is installed in an analysis control device. The analysis control software is the software for controlling an analysis device, and has a function of causing a display to display one or a plurality of operation images for receiving an operation for inspecting the analysis control software. In a validation device, operation commands for performing an operation on one or a plurality of operation images are sequentially generated by an inspection executor with the one or plurality of operation images displayed in the display, whereby an inspection is executed by the analysis control software.
