Description
At large synchrotron radiation facility SPring-8, accommodating diverse experimental user demands requires various operation modes and advanced task management for measurement proxies. Despite these complexities, the need for efficient operation through automation has become increasingly essential. This presentation discusses initiatives to enhance operational efficiency at SPring-8, which operates under multiple bunch modes including three several-bunch modes and five hybrid bunch modes. [1] Traditionally constrained by user demands and operational limitations, manual scheduling and task management were performed semi-annually. To address these challenges, we introduced an automated system based on mathematical optimization and tested since 2023. This system dynamically generates operational schedules based on user-input constraints, significantly reducing administrative burdens and improving flexibility, cost-efficiency, and fairness. Additionally, we developed a web-based management system for the Structural Biology Beamlines that automates tasks such as guidance dispatch, sample verification, and data handling. This has notably reduced staff workload and improved operational continuity. These innovations have enhanced service quality and user satisfaction, while also improved the operational management at this complex research facility.
