Introduction

Artificial intelligence and automation have gradually replaced human labor in many fields to achieve intelligence and efficiency.

The Shimadzu energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectrometer automation system has been widely promoted in the third-party testing industry since its release in 2018.

Nowadays, the EDX automation system has become popular among major inspection enterprises. The "stubborn problems" that have plagued the testing industry, such as the abundance of samples and high labor costs, have finally been solved with the arrival of the "little brothers". This time, let's go into various large testing companies together and visit the growing "Xiao Zi family" (note: "Xiao Zi" is the nickname of Shimadzu EDX Automation System).

Instrument automation

*Station, we have arrived at A Testing Institution located in Guangzhou Science City. As an inspection, appraisal, testing, and certification institution, A Testing Institution is a third-party testing institution that has introduced EDX automation early on. At present, there are multiple Shimadzu EDX series products in A testing institution, and two "little brothers" have settled in, both of which are 4in1 systems.

Every analyst we see here has a very detailed division of labor. In their hands, a massive amount of samples are strictly classified, split, and preprocessed before being placed in an orderly manner on the "Little Brothers' plate". Then, through the busy work of the two "Little Brothers" day and night, they can achieve a detection speed of over 1000 per day, greatly improving the previously tense and busy situation.

As a professional enterprise in the testing industry, this place is truly a sea of samples, where various types of samples gather and undergo strict testing before being fed back into production and the market, safeguarding quality and environmental protection.

In order not to disturb the work of the 'little brothers', we left behind their busy moments through the glass window and quietly went to visit the next' little brothers'.

Deepening automation layer by layer

Our second stop is the Guangzhou branch of B testing institution. As a third-party testing, inspection, and certification organization invested by foreign capital, it is a testing service group.

At present, the Guangzhou branch of B testing institution has multiple Shimadzu EDX machines, which have been integrated into a 4in1 system through the entry of the "Little Brothers". B testing agency has also added "little brothers" to its branches in various places such as Shenzhen and Hong Kong, all of which are 2-in1 systems.

According to colleagues from the Guangzhou laboratory of B testing institution, the arrival of the "Little Self Brothers" has changed their way of working: previously busy with sorting, splitting, testing, and organizing reports every day, now with the "Little Self Brothers" and "delivering tea and water", everyone is relieved from heavy testing and has ample time for data analysis, which not only improves efficiency but also enhances instrument analysis skills, making work more enjoyable.

It seems that the "Little Self Brothers" not only introduced artificial intelligence into the testing laboratory, but also triggered the "brainstorming" of analysts, hoping that the combination of artificial intelligence and the testing industry can collide and spark more ideas.

Steadily advancing automation

Guangzhou C Testing Institution is also a company among foreign-funded testing and certification institutions. At present, the Shenzhen branch of C testing institution has multiple Shimadzu EDX series machines integrated into a 4in1 automation system.

The introduction of automation has liberated testing personnel from the tedious sub item labor.

Domestic automation

Our next stop is the D testing institution located on Pingyun Road in Guangzhou. Since 2007, we have purchased dozens of Shimadzu EDX series machines and distributed them in laboratories across the country. At present, the Guangzhou laboratory of D testing institution has multiple Shimadzu EDX series machines, and four of them have been integrated into a 4in1 automation system, taking a crucial step in intelligence and automation.

We also understand that in the early stages of the introduction of automation, D testing institutions have undergone extensive and detailed investigations, even taking precautions and deducing the entire sample processing and testing process, and finally believe that automation can significantly improve efficiency and reduce labor costs. The trial of the 4in1 system has indeed modularized and simplified the originally tedious analysis process, significantly improving efficiency, especially during peak seasons with large sample volumes, where automation fully leverages its efficiency advantages.

Next, D testing agency will gradually promote EDX automation in its branches with multiple machines nationwide, which will become a highlight of Shimadzu EDX automation.

Intelligent automation detection

The collaboration between EDX automation systems and the testing industry leverages the advantages of automation systems to assist in the intelligence and efficiency of testing institutions, and the "small self family" will continue to grow stronger and stronger. With the highlighting of the convenience, economy, and intelligence advantages of automation systems, the spring of EDX automation's "blooming flowers" is getting closer and closer, and the perfect combination of artificial intelligence and detection industry will also become more and more beautiful!
