AI agent for laboratory technicians
Lab Equipment Calibration Schedule Agent
No instrument used out of calibration
What it does
Balances, pipettes, pH meters and other instruments need regular checks and calibration, and an overdue one can put weeks of results in question. This agent keeps the equipment list with due dates, books calibrations, and reminds owners ahead of time. It reads daily check results and flags drift. If an instrument is overdue or fails a check, it marks it out of service in the system and lists every test run with it since the last good check. It then confirms each out-of-service item has a service booking and an impact list. If no vendor slot is free, it looks for another vendor or a backup instrument. You approve service bookings and the impact review. Edge case: a pipette that fails calibration triggers a list of all results produced with it since the last pass.
How it works
Follow the arrows from top to bottom. The orange dashed arrow is the loop: when a check fails, the agent goes back and tries again.
