The contents displayed in the inspection results are, for example, “regular inspection, secondary battery 24 abnormality, lighting time 18 minutes”, “weekly inspection, lamp L abnormality, incongruity”, etc. What was abnormal Information, inspection type, and the reason why it was abnormal. Since all the guide lights 11 on which this display is made can be re-inspected, the re-inspection is performed on the guide lights 11 on which each abnormality is displayed when the re-inspect button 72 is operated. Thus, a command is input to the control device 41 via the server 61, the network 9, and the server 60. Therefore, the control device 41 that has received the re-inspection instruction transmits the instructed inspection contents to the target guide light 11. The subsequent operation is the same as the above-described inspection operation, and the monitoring device 7 can obtain the result of the reinspection.

  The reinspection result acquired by the monitoring device 7 is displayed in the reinspection result column. The display content at this time is the same as the content displayed in the inspection result. From these series of confirmations, the inspection operator can easily determine what is abnormal, and since the confirmation is based on the double inspection results, the reliability of the inspection results can be improved.

  Further, after the re-inspection, when the estimate request button 73 is operated, a collective estimate request for each member of each guide light 11 that is abnormal can be transmitted to the server 62 of the supplier C via the network 9. As a result, the supplier C can return the estimation result to the server 61 of the management facility B, and the management facility B can also make a purchase decision at an early stage. As a result, since the abnormal guide light 11 can be repaired to a desired form, a system capable of promptly ensuring safety can be realized.

  When the order request button 74 is operated after the re-inspection or the estimation result is acquired, a batch order request for each member of each guide light 11 that is abnormal can be transmitted to the server 62 of the supplier C via the network 9. . As a result, the supplier C responds to the order, so the management facility B can purchase the parts at an early stage. As a result, since the abnormal guide light 11 can be repaired to a desired form, a system capable of promptly ensuring safety can be realized.

  In addition, in the present embodiment, when information is displayed only in the inspection result, a member request based on the information is performed on the target of the estimate request or order request, and the re-inspection result is also abnormal. When the information is displayed, the member is requested based on the information of the reinspection result. In other words, since the target of each request gives priority to the result of the re-inspection, the result of the re-inspection is surely reflected in the contents of each request.

  Note that the re-inspection operation in this embodiment may be such that the type of inspection that has become abnormal is performed again, or at the time of re-inspection, it is set to perform only the legal periodic inspection. There may be. Reconfirmation can be performed under the same conditions as in the former case, and those that do not satisfy the standards stipulated by law can be reliably determined in the latter case. Further, the display of the inspection result or the re-inspection result is not limited to the present embodiment, and it may simply display the abnormality of the member.
