The inspection items are not limited to the inspection items illustrated in FIG. Further, the inspection item can be appropriately changed according to the type of the inspection target equipment 200 and the like.

Hereinafter, an example of the process performed by the information terminal 40 will be described in detail with reference to FIG. In the following flow chart, the box surrounded by the broken line shows the action of the worker who inspects the equipment 20.

First, with reference to the flowchart of FIG. 5, a process of specifying the inspection target facility 200 and displaying a home screen (hereinafter, sometimes referred to as “home screen creation process”) will be described. The worker carries the information terminal 40, moves to the front of the equipment 20, and captures an image of the equipment 20 provided with the identification display 21 with the camera 41 (S11). Next, the equipment data acquisition unit 430 determines whether the identification display 21 can be recognized in the captured image (S12).

When the equipment data acquisition unit 430 can recognize the identification display 21 in S12 (YES in S12), the equipment data acquisition unit 430 identifies the equipment 20 corresponding to the identification display 21 as the inspection target equipment 200 and captures the image. The displayed image is displayed on the monitor 42 (S13). When a plurality of equipments 20 are included in the captured image, the equipment data acquisition unit 430 may specify all the equipments 20 whose identification display 21 is recognized as the inspection target equipments 200, or identify them. You may select one of all the equipments 20 by which the display 21 was recognized, and specify it as the inspection object equipment 200. When selecting one of all the equipments 20 for which the identification display 21 is recognized, the equipment data acquisition means 430 may automatically select it according to a predetermined rule, or work on the monitor 42. May be selected by the person.

Next, the equipment data acquisition unit 430 acquires the equipment data of the inspection target equipment 200 from the management server 30 and displays it on the monitor 42 (S14). Here, instead of S14, a step of displaying an icon for acquiring the equipment data of the inspection target equipment 200 from the management server 30 on the monitor 42 without displaying the equipment data of the inspection target equipment 200 on the monitor 42 is provided. You may. Further, the control unit 43 displays at least the inspection data input icon on the monitor 42 to create a home screen (S15), and the home screen creation process ends.

On the other hand, when the equipment data acquisition unit 430 cannot recognize the identification display 21 in S12 (NO in S12), the equipment data acquisition unit 430 causes the monitor 42 to display that the equipment 20 could not be specified, and The person is again urged to take an image of the equipment 20 and waits until a new image is taken.

Next, referring to steps from S16 onward in FIG. 5, a process of creating a report from the inspection data of the inspection target equipment 200 and sending the report to the manager (hereinafter, referred to as “inspection process”). There is).

The operator selects the inspection data input icon on the home screen before inspecting the inspection target equipment 200 (S16). Next, the control unit 43 displays an input screen for inputting the inspection data of the inspection target equipment 200 on the monitor 42 (S17).

The operator inputs the inspection data of each inspection item using the input unit 400 while inspecting the inspection target equipment 200 (S18). When there are a plurality of inspection items, it is possible to prevent the operator from proceeding to S19 unless all the inspection data is input, and regarding inspection items that have not been input, there is no inspection data and the process proceeds to S19. You can

The inspection data input by the operator is stored in the storage unit 435 (S19). Next, the transmission unit 431 transmits the inspection data stored in the storage unit 435 to the management server 30 (S20). When S20 ends, the control unit 43 ends the input screen and displays the home screen on the monitor 42 (S21). It is more efficient for the worker to perform the inspection work while checking the inspection items by referring to the input screen, but it is also possible to perform the inspection separately and then select the inspection data input icon.

When all the plurality of facilities 20 to be inspected have been inspected (YES in S22), the report creating means 434 edits the inspection data of the inspected facility 200 and creates a report (S23). The inspection data used to create the report may be either stored in the storage unit 435 or stored in the management server 30. Next, the report creating means 434 sends the report to the administrator registered in advance (S24), and the inspection process ends.

On the other hand, when the equipment 20 to be inspected still exists (NO in S22), the worker moves to the next equipment 20 and performs the same work.

As described above, according to the facility management system described above, it is possible to reduce the burden on the operator who performs maintenance and inspection of the facility and improve work efficiency.
