For co-utilization promotion of research equipment ZEUS, Zone for Equipment Utilization Service
Zone for Equipment Utilization Service
A cloud-based intelligent equipment reservation system jointly developed by institutes having equipment across the nation aimed to meet users’ needs and demands by mediating the use of equipment, providing a variety of useful contents, and sharing research equipment
Research equipment, Can we book it in an easier and more convenient way?
Research equipment has been an essential means for high-tech R&D activity but, it is not easy to maintain all the equipment needed.
Therefore, many researchers have searched for data needed regarding the co-utilization of equipment, which has been far from easy. How great would it be to gather and book research equipment in one place?
We attempt to facilitate this concept through ZEUS as it is designed to maximize the joint utilization of research equipment.
Is there any way to recycle idle equipment?
There has been an increase in the number of cases in which research equipment is left unused due to researchers’ retirement, job separation or a change in research topic.
Equipment that is no longer of use to one person may be of use to others. Where this unused research equipment is recycled for use by those in need, it becomes more valuable.
We attempt to facilitate this concept through the ZEUS as it is designed to promote the recycling of research equipment.
Can’t we share and borrow research equipment?
At one time, researches attempted to competitively build and own research equipment but equipment becomes more efficient when it is shared among researchers for more productive R&D activities.
Where utility value is emphasized, it would make a big contribution to national growth as well as researcher improvement.
We attempt to facilitate this concept through the ZEUS as it is designed to accomplish a shared economy for research equipment.
Can’t we get a proven answer from the experts?
Because research equipment is a sector that requires complicated, technical knowledge, the information needed is difficult to access solely through the Internet.
We attempt to handle all processes from purchase to operation, utilization and disposal of research equipment in a clear and accurate manner through a proven research equipment expert.
For this, we attempt to solve problems and difficulties in research equipment through the ZEUS.
Can’t we get the high-quality data we need only?
With the flood of information, it has become more difficult to find the knowledge desired at the time it is needed. We target making a contribution to the spread of a knowledge-sharing culture through open, two-way services in which researchers can communicate with others who have the same research equipment by forming a community and upload or download data anytime.
We attempt to facilitate this concept through the ZEUS as it is designed to share research equipment-related knowledge and data.
