How to guide the robot to complete the whole process of the experiment?

How does the laboratory automation system obtain visual data?

How does the visual data interact with researchers?

What work do researchers need to do?

Can unmanned operation with remote monitoring be truly achieved?

When you see a laboratory automation system, you may think of these questions, and the protagonist of this article: Shigao Laboratory Intelligence Middle Platform is the answer to these questions.

Shigao Intelligent Laboratory Middle Platform, for researchers who deal with laboratories all year round, perhaps this formula is the easiest to explain:Shigao Intelligent laboratory platform = LIMS + robot control system

In order to make practitioners in the field of automation better understand, here is an explanation of LIMS. LIMS is actually a laboratory management system, which refers to improving laboratory capacity and efficiency by tracking samples, experiments, laboratory workflows and instrument-related data, managing laboratory samples and related data, standardizing workflows, and improving laboratory visibility.

The hardware system bound to the laboratory smart platform modularizes the experimental process at the bottom layer, automatically completing operations such as weighing, heating, mixing, vaporization, filling, placement, grinding, and pipetting, and then connecting the entire experimental process through the laboratory robot assistant. The researcher starts the equipment with one click through the visualization panel of the laboratory smart platform, and the analytical instrument finally transmits the data to the laboratory smart platform, presenting it in the form of charts, which is convenient for researchers to analyze, observe and draw conclusions. Even if the researcher is not on site, he can log in to the laboratory smart platform for remote control and conduct experiments.

Software panel

It includes sample management system, multi-function dashboard, online document system, monitoring system, control panel and user management

1.0 Sample Management System

• Users enter sample data
• Query and edit sample test results
• Publish sample test results
• Record the status of samples and analytical instruments

2.0 Multi-function Signage

• Current operation status dashboard
• The status of the sample test queue
• View the operation status of various equipment
• View the operation logs of equipment, programs, etc.
• View the reaction environment data for a specific time period

3.0 Online Documentation System

Including sections such as laboratory manuals, experimental methods, and user-side production documents. Compared with static files, online documents are easier to expand, allowing documents to improve as experimental methods advance.

4.0 Monitoring System

• Current images of the laboratory and equipment
• Retrieve and view monitoring data of a certain time period
• Download images and videos of a certain time or time period

5.0 Control panel

• Control the start and stop of each device
• Equipment self-inspection and maintenance
• Equipment function test

The laboratory intelligent platform simplifies the researcher's work into task-level operations, conducts experiments and makes decisions around the purpose of the experiment, and allows researchers to truly return to the essence of research.

Shigao intelligent laboratory platform is committed to organically combining robots and automation mechanisms in the laboratory to accelerate the sample flow speed in the laboratory, experimental safety, and consistency of experimental results. The experimenter can complete the experimental task arrangement, process monitoring, and result collection and review through the platform.
