Description

  The present invention relates to an information collection system that collects on-site data generated in a factory or office.

  Various facilities are operating in factories, offices, etc., and these facilities output on-site data indicating observation results for the facilities such as error information and status information. This field data may be input by the user. A user connects a mobile terminal to equipment or the like, and inputs field data using the mobile terminal as a user interface. The on-site data is output as a numerical value that is coded or an observation result, and is monitored by the fixed asset manager as event information to which information on the location and date / time of occurrence is added. The fixed asset manager is, for example, a facility maintenance manager in a factory and a facility manager such as a server in an office.

  This event information is valuable information that contributes to factory and office operation management, product quality management, business management, and the like. However, the event information output directly from the facility does not have secondary or tertiary meanings other than the direct meanings such as codes or simple observation numerical values, occurrence location and occurrence date and time. Therefore, conventionally, information obtained at the field level is re-interpreted sequentially at each layer before reaching the management or management level, and event information is changed to information with secondary and tertiary meanings. So we used event information at each level.

  Therefore, a time lag tends to occur in the way of information transmission between the site level and the management or management level, and the site level and the business management level tend to be liberated.

  For this reason, various information collection systems have been proposed (see, for example, Patent Document 1). For example, event information is generally stored once in a database, and the database is searched according to a definition for obtaining information necessary for each department. In each department, necessary event information is extracted, and secondary and tertiary meanings of the event information are analyzed.

JP 2006-164182 A

  In such an information collection system, event information having the same level at the site level and the management and management level can be acquired simultaneously. However, as described above, the event information generated in the facility has no secondary or tertiary meaning content. Therefore, each person in charge who needs the secondary and tertiary meaning contents possessed by the event information needs to repeat the analysis of the obtained event information. In other words, it is necessary to interpret the event information, perform a new interpretation obtained from the interpretation, repeat this, and gradually and gradually give the event information secondary and tertiary meaning contents.

  For example, when field data indicating the yield rate is obtained for a certain facility, whether the yield rate indicates an abnormality in the facility, or if it is abnormal, the cause of the abnormality is in a consumable part or else If there is a cause for a consumable part, where the consumable part is stored, if the consumable part is taken out of the inventory, the inventory must be replenished, or if the inventory is replenished, which sales Whether you purchase consumable parts from the company or delay delivery to important customers, you must repeat the interpretation in order without delay.

  Therefore, the information collection system allows the event information to reach each department without a time lag, but the time required for interpreting the event information varies among the departments. For this reason, in recognition of event information, a time lag cannot be avoided between the site level and the management or management level, and eventually the gap between the site level and the management or management level cannot be eliminated.

  The present invention has been proposed to solve the above-described problems of the prior art, and can immediately understand secondary and tertiary meaning contents of event information generated in the field. The purpose is to provide an information collection system.
