Application of automation in the medical field
The development of science and technology has made various fields have higher expectations for the improvement of work efficiency, even in the field of manufacturing medicine, and to achieve high efficiency, automation equipment is a very good choice. As more and more companies care about the field of automation, this has created business opportunities for the development trend and entrepreneurship of the automation machinery manufacturing industry.
The development of science and technology has continuously promoted the progress of surgical methods, which began in the 1980s. The rapid popularization of minimally invasive techniques represented by laparoscopy is an obvious example. In recent years, surgical robot technology is based on minimally invasive surgery, which has raised the accuracy and feasibility of surgery to a whole new level. The application of automated control systems in the medical device industry has many advantages: first, it can improve production capacity; second, it is safe and reliable; third, it has high precision; fourth, it has a high degree of concentration.
From the perspective of production capacity, the instrument design is robotized. The work process originally completed manually is completed by the instrument at one time. The mechanical arm and data processing and analysis system controlled by the computer can complete various tasks accurately and faster. Traditional experimental operations must be performed by multiple people to manually prepare samples and reagents, combine reactions, and analyze product judgment results. Among them, the cooperation between personnel, the speed of manual sample addition, and the reaction combination are a lot of time wasted waiting and cannot be cross-worked. On the other hand, most of the automated medical equipment products have the functions of automatic information processing and automatic control. The automated control system enables the organization to accurately execute the instructions in accordance with the requirements of the experiment. As the automated equipment achieves work automation, the productivity is greatly improved. In terms of safety and reliability, automated instruments are generally designed with functions such as information feedback, automatic diagnosis, alarms, and operation protection. During the experiment, they will alarm when they encounter bottoming, collisions, or low reagent remaining, and the experimenters will proceed according to the prompts. Operation, to prevent personnel from too much contact with infectious samples in the experiment, which may cause the hidden danger of infection, and significantly improve the safety of the equipment. In terms of accuracy, due to the use of electronic components, high-precision slide rails, screw rods and other executive components in automated equipment, each action has high motion accuracy, clear execution of set instructions, and the instrument can automatically calibrate and eliminate human intervention. Factors and non-standard interference, to avoid the influence of the operator’s subjective factors, so as to achieve the best operation, so that the experimental results are not affected by external factors to the greatest extent, thereby reducing the probability of making mistakes. In terms of concentration, the traditional method of operation enables the experimental staff to devote their energy to the early stage of sample preparation, reagent preparation, and sample-reagent combination. However, after the instrument is fully automated, the experimenter only needs to check the results in the final experimental stage. Make judgments, focus their attention on the final result interpretation, focus on analysis, reduce result errors, and shorten the reporting time.
In short, after the introduction of automation system control, medical equipment fully realizes the following functions: first, standardization; second, systemization; third, intelligence; fourth, automation. Instruction control is used between each experimental step, and program control is used to flexibly combine them into an automated execution system. In the automatic control system, it has the following characteristics: first, the response is rapid; second, the transmission speed is very fast; third, the error caused by human factors is reduced.
Although the field of automation equipment generally shows a self-evident development trend, that is, the indoor space of the automation equipment sales market is wide, and some traditional manufacturing industries are likely to become sales markets with greater development potential. At this stage, the automation equipment in my country The large number of enterprises, the small scale of operation, the late start, the simplification of market competition and other shortcomings have determined that each enterprise can survive only by solving the three challenges of assets, talents, and sales in a balanced manner.
