Description

Analysis job management device and analysis job management method

Technical Field

The present invention relates to an analysis job management apparatus and an analysis job management method.

Background

An analysis Information Management System such as a Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) is introduced into production sites, research facilities, and the like for producing products such as pharmaceuticals, foods, and the like (see, for example, japanese patent laid-open No. 2008-241386). LIMS manages the program and schedule of analysis performed in a research facility or the like. The LIMS can automatically produce an analysis work instruction sheet, a sample label, and a report sheet, thereby making the analysis work efficient.

Disclosure of Invention

In recent years, traceability (traceability) of products and the like has been emphasized in various fields. In the field of analysis using an analysis device, traceability of analysis results is also important. For example, in a final test of a product, when the analysis result of the product does not meet a predetermined standard, not only the product itself is not qualified, but also the analysis work is not standardized. In case of product failure, all products produced in the same batch need to be scrapped. On the other hand, when the analysis is performed or the operation before the analysis is abnormal, it is not necessary to discard all the products. The conventional LIMS does not have a function of tracking the process from the adjustment work of a sample at the time of analysis or before the analysis to the acquisition of an analysis result. Therefore, traceability of the analysis result is ensured.

An object of the present invention is to provide an analysis job management apparatus and an analysis job management method capable of ensuring traceability of a job for analysis by an analysis apparatus.

An analysis job management device according to one aspect includes: an operation information receiving unit that receives operation information obtained by a wearable device during an operation from the wearable device worn by an operator who performs the operation, the operation being analyzed by an analysis device; an analysis result obtaining unit that obtains an analysis result obtained by the analysis device or software that controls the analysis device; and a correspondence relationship establishing unit that establishes a correspondence relationship between the job information received by the job information receiving unit and the analysis result obtained by the analysis result obtaining unit.

Another analysis job management method includes the steps of: receiving, from a wearable device worn by an operator performing a task, task information obtained by the wearable device during the task, the task being for analysis by an analysis apparatus; obtaining an analysis result obtained by the analysis device; and establishing a corresponding relationship between the job information received by the receiving step and the analysis result obtained by the obtaining step.

Detailed Description

Hereinafter, an analysis job management apparatus and an analysis job management method according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

(1) Structure of analysis work management device

Fig. 1 is a block diagram showing a configuration of an analysis control device including an analysis job management device according to an embodiment of the present invention. The analysis control apparatus 1 is connected to a plurality of analysis apparatuses 2. Hereinafter, one of the analyzers 2 is referred to as an analyzer 2A, and the other analyzer 2 is referred to as an analyzer 2B.

The analysis control apparatus 1 includes a Central Processing Unit (CPU) 11, a Random Access Memory (RAM) 12, a Read Only Memory (ROM) 13, an operation unit 40, a display unit 50, and an input/output I/F (interface) 60. The CPU 11, RAM 12, ROM 13, operation unit 40, display unit 50, and input/output I/F60 are connected to the bus 70. The storage unit 30 is connected to the bus 70. The storage unit 30 may be an external storage device provided outside the analysis control apparatus 1, or may be a cloud on the network (a server or an external storage device connected to the network). The CPU 11, RAM 12, and ROM 13 constitute an analysis job management apparatus 100. The analysis job management apparatus 100 will be described in detail later.

The RAM 12 is used as a work area of the CPU 11. The ROM 13 stores a system program. The storage unit 30 includes a storage medium such as a hard disk or a semiconductor memory.

The storage unit 30 stores an analysis job management program. The analysis job management program is a computer program for the analysis job management apparatus 100 to perform an analysis job management operation. The analysis job management program may be stored in the ROM 13 or other storage device. The storage unit 30 stores a work instruction sheet. The operation manual describes the program, conditions, and the like of the analysis operation to be executed by the analysis device 2. The work instruction book includes a standard work program book describing a standard work program that displays a work program to be executed by the operator. The standard operation program includes a plurality of operation steps, a sample used for analysis, device identification information for identifying an analysis device used for analysis, and the like.

The CPU 11 executes the analysis job management program stored in the RAM 13 on the RAM 12, and the analysis job management apparatus 100 performs an analysis job management operation. The analysis job management operation will be described later.

The operation unit 40 is an input device such as a keyboard, a mouse, or a touch panel, and is operated by a user to give a predetermined instruction to the analysis job management apparatus 100. The display unit 50 is a display device such as a liquid crystal display device. The input/output I/F60 is connected to the analyzer 2.

Each of the analyzers 2 may be a liquid chromatograph, a gas chromatograph, a supercritical fluid chromatograph, or the like, a mass spectrometer, or another analyzer using an optical system such as infrared light, ultraviolet visible light, atomic absorption light, or plasma emission light. The analysis result obtained by the analysis device 2 is, for example, a chromatogram or a mass spectrum. In the present embodiment, the analyzing device 2A and the analyzing device 2B are liquid chromatographs. The operation of the analysis device 2 is controlled based on the content of the work instruction stored in the storage unit 30.

In the present embodiment, the preparation operation includes preparing a sample to be analyzed by the analyzer 2. The operator who operates the analysis device 2 wears the wearable device 200 when performing the preparatory operation. As the wearable device 200, smart glasses, Virtual Reality (VR) glasses, Augmented Reality (AR) glasses, Mixed Reality (MR) glasses, a smart watch, or the like are used. In the present embodiment, smart glasses including a camera and a microphone are used.

(2) Functional configurations of analysis job management device 100 and wearable device 200

Fig. 2 is a block diagram showing a functional configuration of the analysis job management apparatus 100 and the wearable device 200. The wearable device 200 includes a display unit 210, a job information obtaining unit 230, an obtaining start instruction unit 240, an obtaining end instruction unit 250, and a job end notification unit 260. The job information obtaining portion 230 includes a camera 220A and a microphone 220B.

The display unit 210 is provided on the lens of the wearable device 200. The camera 220A captures an image of a work or an instrument of a worker in the form of a video and outputs the video data as work information. The camera 220A may capture an image of a work or an instrument of the operator as a still image and output the still image data as work information. Further, the camera 220A is configured to be able to read the identification information. In the present embodiment, the identification information is a barcode. The device with the barcode is, for example, a physicochemical device such as a beaker or a flask, or an analysis device which cannot transfer data to the analysis control and management apparatus. The barcode information obtained by reading the barcode includes information such as the kind of the appliance. In addition, a barcode reader may also be provided at the wearable device 200. Further, instead of a barcode reader, a two-dimensional code may be attached to the device as the identification information. The microphone 220B collects sounds made by the operator during the work and outputs sound data representing the sounds as work information. The output job information can be transferred to a display device for display in real time.

The acquisition start instruction unit 240 instructs the camera 220A and the microphone 220B to start acquisition of the work information based on an operation by the operator. The acquisition end instruction unit 250 instructs the camera 220A and the microphone 220B to end the acquisition of the work information based on the operation of the operator. In the present embodiment, the acquisition start instruction unit 240 and the acquisition end instruction unit 250 include switches provided in the wearable device 200. The acquisition start instruction section 240 and the acquisition end instruction section 250 may include a common switch. In this case, the camera 220A and the microphone 220B may be instructed to start and end the acquisition of the job information by turning on and off the switches. The work completion notifying unit 260 includes a switch operated by the operator at the completion of each work process.

The analysis job management device 100 includes a job instruction sheet acquisition unit 110, a standard job program sheet extraction unit 120, a display control unit 130, a job information reception unit 140, a deviation determination unit 150, an analysis result reception unit 160, a job analysis information generation unit 170, and an analysis device control unit 180. The components (110 to 180) of the analysis job management apparatus 100 are realized by the CPU 11 of fig. 1 executing the analysis job management program stored in the storage unit 30. In addition, a part or all of the components (110 to 180) of the analysis work management apparatus 100 may be realized by hardware such as an electronic circuit.

The work instruction sheet obtaining unit 110 obtains the work instruction sheet stored in the storage unit 30. The standard work-procedure-book extracting unit 120 extracts a standard work procedure book included in the work instruction book obtained by the work-instruction-book obtaining unit 110. The display control unit 130 displays the standard work program described in the standard work program extracted by the standard work program extraction unit 120 on the display unit 210 of the wearable device 200.

The job information receiving part 140 receives the job information obtained by the job information obtaining part 230 of the wearable device 200. The deviation determination unit 150 determines whether or not the job information received by the job information receiving unit 140 deviates from the content described in the standard job program book. When determining that the operation information deviates from the content described in the standard operation program, the display control unit 130 causes the display unit 210 of the wearable device 200 to display a warning.

The analysis by the analyzer 2 is started based on an operation by an operator. The analysis device control unit 180 sets the analysis conditions of each analysis device 2 based on the work instruction obtained by the work instruction obtaining unit 110, and controls the analysis operation of each analysis device 2. After the analysis performed by each of the analyzers 2 is completed, the analysis result receiving unit 160 receives the analysis result of the analyzer 2. The job analysis information generation portion 170 generates job analysis information by associating the job information received by the job information reception portion 140 with the analysis result received by the analysis result reception portion 160, and stores the job analysis information in the storage portion 30.

Fig. 3 is a diagram showing an example of the standard job program book displayed on the display unit 210. As shown in fig. 3, the standard work program 211 includes a plurality of work steps in order, which indicate work programs to be executed by the worker. In each operation process, it is noted whether or not the operation information needs to be obtained. In the example of fig. 3, the acquisition of the work information indicates the work of the worker as a video image and the barcode attached to the reader. "no record required" means that the job information is not required to be obtained.

The operator performs each operation step in sequence in accordance with the instruction of the standard operation program 211. In the example of fig. 3, first, in the working process P1, the operator uses the operation unit 40 to register the operator number (No.). The registered operator No. is stored in the storage unit 30. Next, in the working process P2, the operator prepares a beaker a. A bar code is attached to beaker a. The operator reads the barcode with the camera 220A of the wearable device 200. Thereby, the barcode information output from the camera 220A is received as the job information by the job information receiving unit 140. The deviation determination unit 150 determines whether or not the beaker prepared by the operator is the beaker a based on the barcode information received by the work information receiving unit 140. Thereby, it is determined whether or not the operator has performed a work instructed by the standard work program 211.

In the working process P3, the operator prepares the white sample C stored in the container B. At this time, the operator takes a preparation job of the sample C in the form of a video with the camera 220A of the wearable device 200. Thus, the video data output from the camera 220A is received as job information by the job information receiving unit 140. The deviation determination unit 150 determines whether or not the sample C is discolored based on the video data received by the job information reception unit 140. Thereby, it is determined whether or not the operator has performed a work instructed by the standard work program 211.

In the working process P4, the operator mixes the sample C and the solvent CA using the beaker a to prepare the liquid sample D. In the working process P5, the operator confirmed the pH of the liquid sample D using the reagent Y1. In the operation step P10, the operator sets the liquid sample D in the analyzer 2. In the operation step P11, the operator sets the standard sample Y2 in the analyzer 2. In the working step P12, the operator sets the container E containing the mobile phase in the analyzer 2. In the working process P13, the operator operates the operation unit 40 to start the analysis by the analyzer 2. In the example of fig. 3, the operator takes a picture of the work in the form of a video with the camera 220A of the wearable device 200 in the work process P4 to the work process P5. In this way, it is determined whether or not the work of the operator deviates from the standard work recipe 211 in the working process P4 to the working process P5. When the worker's work deviates from the standard work recipe 211, a warning is displayed on the display unit 210 of the wearable device 200. The barcode information and the video data obtained in the working process P2 to the working process P13 are supplied to the work analysis information generation unit 170 as the work information.

Fig. 4 is a diagram showing an example of the warning displayed on the display unit 210. In the present embodiment, the white sample C to be stored in the container B is indicated in the operation process P3 (see fig. 3) of the standard operation program 211. In the operation step P3, when the color of the sample C indicated by the video data is not white, the deviation determination unit 150 determines that the color of the sample C stored in the container B has changed. Thus, the deviation determination unit 150 determines that the work of the operator deviates from the standard work recipe 211. In the example of fig. 4, the display unit 210 of the wearable device 200 displays the contents of the work process, the video of the container B and the sample C obtained by the camera 220A, and the warning 212. When a work deviation occurs in another work process, a warning is displayed on the display unit 210 of the wearable device 200.

Fig. 5 is a schematic diagram for explaining the job analysis information. As shown in fig. 5, in the work analysis information, the sample to be analyzed, the type of the analyzer, the work information, the analysis result, and the operator No. are associated with each analysis. For example, in the job analysis information of the analysis a1, the job information OP1 corresponds to the analysis result AN1, the sample X1, the analysis device 2A, and the operator No. 001. In the job analysis information of the analysis a2, the job information OP2 corresponds to the analysis result AN2, the sample X2, the analyzer 2A, and the operator No. 002. Further, in the job analysis information of the analysis a3, the job information OP3 corresponds to the analysis result AN3, the sample X3, the analysis device 2B, and the worker No. 001.

The job analysis information generated by the job analysis information generation unit 170 is stored in the storage unit 30. The job analysis information may be stored in the storage unit 30 in a state compressed by a data compression technique such as a self-encoder or an encoder.

(3) Analyzing the operation of the job management apparatus 100

Fig. 6 and 7 are flowcharts showing an example of the operation of the analysis job management apparatus 100 shown in fig. 2. In this example, the operation when the job information is video data and barcode information is shown.

First, as shown in fig. 6, the display control unit 130 causes the display unit 210 of the wearable device 200 to display the standard job program book 211 (step S1). At this time, the display control unit 130 obtains the total number N of work processes described in the standard work procedure book 211 (step S2). In this example, the standard job program 211 includes N job processes PX (X is 1 to N). Then, the display control unit 130 sets the value of the variable X to 1 (step S3). The operator performs the operation of the operation process PX in the standard operation program book 211. When obtaining of the work information is instructed in the work process PX, the operator operates the switch of the obtaining start instruction unit 240. Thus, for example, the camera 220A captures an image of the work of the worker in the form of a video, or reads a barcode attached to the equipment. When the acquisition of the work information is not instructed in the work process PX, the operator does not perform the operation for acquiring the work information.

The work information receiving unit 140 determines whether or not the acquisition start instruction unit 240 instructs to capture the work of the operator in the work process PX in the form of a video (step S4). When the image capturing of the work of the operator in the work process PX is instructed in the form of the video, the work information receiving unit 140 receives the video data output from the camera 220A and the microphone 220B of the work information obtaining unit 230 as the work information (step S5).

The deviation determination unit 150 determines whether or not the work of the worker deviates from the standard work script 211 based on the work information (video data) (step S6). Specifically, it is determined whether or not the work of the operator specified by the video data matches the work described in the standard work program book 211. When the worker does not work out of the standard work recipe 211, the analysis work management apparatus 100 proceeds to step S8 described later. When the work of the operator deviates from the standard work recipe 211, the display control unit 130 causes the display unit 210 to display a warning (step S7). The operator performs the operation again in accordance with the standard operation recipe 211 in response to the warning, or proceeds to the next operation without depending on the warning. When the operator performs the operation again according to the warning or when the operator enters the next operation without the warning, the operation of the operator is photographed in the form of a video.

The job information receiving unit 140 determines whether or not the job of the job process PX is completed (step S8). When the work of the work process PX is completed, the operator operates the work completion notification unit 260 of the wearable device 200 to notify the analysis work management apparatus 100 that the work of the work process PX is completed.

When the working process PX is not completed, the working information receiving unit 140 returns to step S5. Thus, step S5 to step S8 are repeated. When the job process PX has ended in step S8, the job information receiving unit 140 proceeds to step S14 described later.

In step S4, when the image capturing of the work by the operator in the work process PX in the form of the video is not instructed, the work information receiving unit 140 determines whether or not the acquisition of the barcode information in the work process PX is instructed by the acquisition start instruction unit 240 (step S9). When the acquisition of the barcode information is not instructed in the job process PX, the job information receiving unit 140 proceeds to step S13 described later. When the acquisition of the barcode information is instructed in the job process PX, the job information receiving unit 140 receives the barcode information output from the camera 220A of the job information acquiring unit 230 (step S10).

The deviation determination unit 150 determines whether or not the work of the operator deviates from the standard work recipe 211 based on the work information (barcode information) (step S11). Specifically, it is determined whether or not the instrument specified by the barcode information matches the instrument described in the standard work procedure book 211. When the worker does not work out of the standard work recipe 211, the analysis work management apparatus 100 proceeds to step S13 described later. When the worker' S work deviates from the standard work procedure book 211, the display control unit 130 causes the display unit 210 to display a warning (step S12). The work information receiving unit 140 determines whether or not the work process PX has ended (step S13). When the working process PX is not completed, the working information receiving unit 140 returns to step S4. Thus, step S9 to step S12 are repeated.

When the working process PX has ended, the working information receiving unit 140 adds 1 to the value of the variable X (step S14). The work information receiving unit 140 determines whether or not the value of the variable X is larger than the total number N of work processes (step S15). When the value of the variable X is equal to or less than the total number N of working steps, the working information receiving unit 140 returns to step S4. Thus, step S4 to step S15 are repeated.

In step S15, when the value of the variable X is greater than the total number N of working steps, it is determined that all of the working steps P1 to PN performed by the operator have ended. In this example, the last work process PN is a process in which the operator starts the analysis using any of the analyzers 2 using the operation unit 40. Thus, the analysis device control unit 180 controls the analysis operation of the analysis device 2 based on the work instruction obtained by the work instruction obtaining unit (step S16 in fig. 7). The analysis result is output from the analysis device 2.

The analysis result receiving unit 160 receives the analysis result output from the analysis device 2 (step S17). The job analysis information generation unit 170 generates job analysis information by associating the job information received by the job information reception unit 140 among the job process P1 to the job process PN with the analysis result received by the analysis result reception unit 160, and stores the job analysis information in the storage unit 30 (step S18).

(4) Effects of the embodiments

According to the analysis job management apparatus 100 of the present embodiment, the job information obtained by the wearable device 200 and the analysis result obtained by the analysis apparatus 2 are associated with each other as the job analysis information by the job analysis information generation unit 170. Thus, based on the job information corresponding to the analysis result, the process of the job corresponding to the analysis result can be tracked. In such a case, the relationship of the validity of the job content and the analysis result may be verified. Therefore, traceability of the work for analysis by the analysis device 2 can be ensured. For example, when a defective product is generated in manufacturing a product, the time required for investigating the cause can be reduced. In the case where the defective product is generated due to an irregular analysis work rather than the product itself, it is not necessary to invalidate the entire product of one lot.

When the work information includes video data and sound data, the video data indicates work content visible to the worker during the work, and the sound data indicates work content audible to the worker during the work. Thus, by playing back the video data and the audio data, the relationship between the validity of the work content and the analysis result can be easily verified visually and aurally. In addition, when the video data is transferred to a display device or the like in real time and displayed, it is possible to remotely perform work-related education on an inexperienced worker.

When the work information includes barcode information, the tool used for the work of the operator can be identified by the barcode information. Thus, the tool used during the operation can be easily specified. Therefore, traceability of the work for analysis by the analyzer 2 can be improved.

Further, the operator can perform the work while looking at the standard work program 211 displayed on the display unit 210 of the wearable device 200. Thus, the error of the operation program of the operator can be reduced.

Further, when the operator performs a task deviating from the task described in the standard task book 211, the warning 212 is displayed on the display unit 210, so that the operator can easily recognize that the operator performs a task deviating from the standard task book 211. This allows the operator to perform the work again. Moreover, the causal relationship of the analysis result to the deviation of the job can be verified.

Then, the work analysis information generated by the work analysis information generation unit 170 associates the analysis result with the sample to be analyzed, the type of the analyzer 2, and the operator No. thereof. This makes it possible to easily specify the sample to be analyzed, the operator who performs the work corresponding to the analysis result, and the analyzer 2 to be used for the analysis corresponding to the analysis result.

Further, since the job analysis information is stored in the storage unit 30, the job information corresponding to the analysis result can be confirmed at an arbitrary time point after the analysis.

The work performed by the operator includes preparation work for performing analysis by the analyzer 2, and the preparation work includes preparation of a sample to be analyzed by the analyzer 2. Thus, the relationship between the validity of the preparation work and the preparation of the sample and the analysis result can be verified. For example, it is possible to easily verify whether or not a label attached to a container for storing an analyzed sample is correct, whether or not the sample is stored in an appropriate container, whether or not contamination occurs during a sample preparation operation, and the like. Further, whether or not an appropriate cleaning tool is used, whether or not a sample is set at an appropriate position of the analysis device 2, whether or not an appropriate standard sample and control sample are used, and the like can be easily verified.

(5) Other embodiments

(5-a) in the case of using a meter such as a pH meter or a balance, the camera 220A may detect a measured value displayed by the meter as job information. In this case, the worker can trace at least a part of the work content without recording the measurement value of the meter.

(5-b) in the above embodiment, when it is determined that the operation information deviates from the content described in the standard operation program book 211, the display control unit 130 causes the display unit 210 of the wearable device 200 to display a warning, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the warning may be notified to the operator by lighting a lamp or the like, or the warning may be notified to the operator by a sound.

(5-c) in the standard work program book 211, the range of the work to be performed by the worker specified by the worker No. can be determined in advance. In this case, for example, an operator such as a competent operator can be selected for each task, and thus an inappropriate operator can be prevented from performing the task.

(5-d) the analysis work management apparatus 100 according to the embodiment can be incorporated in an analysis information management system such as LIMS (laboratory information management system). In this case, the analysis information management system includes a LIMS server, a client Personal Computer (PC), an analysis apparatus, a tag printer, and a wearable device management server. The LIMS server may be a physical server or a cloud server. The client PC provides an environment in which an operator such as a web browser performs various operations. The wearable device management server manages content, an operator, and an analysis device. Such an analysis information management system is applicable to, for example, a test process of a product produced in a production plant of a pharmaceutical enterprise, but the analysis work management apparatus 100 according to the above-described embodiment is not limited thereto, and may also be applied to analysis of clinical or biological samples such as genome information, and various samples such as food, cosmetics, chemicals, chemical products, and petroleum industrial products.

(5-e) in the above embodiment, the operation of preparing the analysis was described as the operation of the operator, but the operation of the operator may be the operation of the operator in the process of performing the analysis by the analysis device 2. In such a case, traceability of the work of the operator during the analysis can be ensured.

(6) Correspondence relationship between each constituent element of claims and each part of the embodiment

Hereinafter, examples of correspondence between each constituent element of the claims and each element of the embodiments will be described. In the above embodiment, the standard job program book extracting unit 120 is an example of a program obtaining unit, the display unit 210 is an example of a reporting unit, the job information receiving unit 140 is an example of a job information receiving unit, the deviation determining unit 150 is an example of a determining unit, the analysis result receiving unit 160 is an example of an analysis result obtaining unit, and the job analysis information generating unit 170 is an example of a correspondence relationship establishing unit.

Thus, based on the job information corresponding to the analysis result, the process of the job corresponding to the analysis result can be tracked. In such a case, the relationship of the validity of the job content and the analysis result can be verified. Therefore, traceability of a work for analysis by the analysis device can be ensured.
