\u2015 Efforts in our office based on the premise of achieving both safety and convenience<\/em> \u2015<\/em><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
\n

This page introduces examples of the use of experimental equipment and network environments that our laboratory has actually introduced and operated in our Division of Analytical Electron Microscopy, IMR. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Careful judgment is required when connecting experimental equipment to a network. Of course, operations that prioritize safety should be respected, but with appropriate design and management, it is also possible to increase convenience while minimizing risks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our office has been promoting the use of IT\/IoT\/ICT to improve operational efficiency with limited human resources. Here, we will provide an overview of initiatives that can be applied to individual laboratories. We plan to provide detailed instructions on individual pages in the future. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

Extracting data from device control PC<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Even old control PCs and stand-alone devices can transfer data over the network in a secure manner. We are practicing a method to retrieve files without using write-once media such as USB memory or CDR. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

Storage and external access of experimental data using NAS<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

By storing experimental data in the NAS (network compatible storage) installed in each device, there is no need to take it out using physical media such as USB memory. Access your data securely and quickly with laboratory PCs or external access via VPN. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

Remotely monitor the experimental equipment screen<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

You can monitor the screen of the equipment control PC in the laboratory from your laboratory PC using VNC or remote desktop. It eliminates the need to be constantly present at the device, and is also useful for managing multiple devices. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

Inventions for remote witness experiments<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

By using Zoom and other screen sharing tools to share experiment screens remotely, we are allowing equipment users and supporters to collaborate and conduct experiments even if they are in separate rooms or locations. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

Remote monitoring using VPN<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If you want to check the status of your experimental equipment from outside or at home, you can safely access the equipment screen using a VPN connection. It is applied to confirmation of usage status and monitoring of long-term measurements. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

Sharing large files (Filesender (independent operation))<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We have a system in place to safely transmit and share large amounts of data such as images and videos obtained from devices using the Internet. This is used to send data to external researchers and guest users. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

Reservation system (+ device usage log)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The reservation system currently in use in our laboratory can also be applied to individual laboratories. By linking with usage logs, it is useful for understanding usage status and responding to equipment problems. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

\n

Laboratory monitoring using IoT sensors<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We constantly monitor the temperature, humidity, power status, etc. in the laboratory using IoT sensors. We maintain a stable experimental environment by accumulating logs of environmental changes and linking alerts to air conditioning equipment and equipment as necessary. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

Automatic recording of device status<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A simple script is embedded in the device control PC to regularly record the operating status and status history of the device. It can also be used to analyze user operation history and when problems occur. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

These efforts were not carried out by a specialized ICT department, but rather were devised on-site in a DIY manner. We plan to release more detailed case studies and procedures in the future. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We hope that the introduction of our office’s efforts will be helpful for improving operations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
