Abstract

PURPOSE:To facilitate the retrieval of required data in case of modifying, improving and increasing a system by inputting user system arrangement data, design manufacture data, design modification data and system inspection data to a computer for every user and programming said data. CONSTITUTION:Input/output terminals 3 are installed in respective enterprises such as an A factory 1 and a B factory 2, and connected to a computer center 4 online. A large computer is installed in a data processing center as a centralized management system. The user system arrangement data, the design manufacture data, the design modification data and the system inspection data, all of which are individually generated from respective departments, are inputted and accumulated in the large computer in the data processing center 4 from the input/output terminals 3 for each unit of the user. At the time of maintaining and installing additionally, the retrieval of required data is executed in such a way that the large computer in the data processing center programs according to instructions from the I/O terminals 3, and generates and inputs retrieval data.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention is directed to system (software, hardware) II.
Regarding the maintenance management system and design support system at A manufacturer, we are particularly concerned with the revision of the multi-model mass production system (
version) management method.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, there is a management method using a hard copy file as a closed data storage for each user. Information file of system product name and revision history 2. There was a separate information file for each user's system configuration (product name and quantity), and data management for changes to the user's system configuration and hardware changes was performed independently.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

Due to rapid technological innovation, the number of types, changes, and modifications of systems being designed are increasing, and the number of shipped systems and the number of users are increasing every year.

As a system manufacturer, in order to provide support for manufacturing, shipping, and operation, we must understand the configuration of the systems delivered to each user, and at the same time, have the necessary data available immediately when changes, improvements, or expansions are required. It needs to be searched accurately and accurately.

Conventional information management methods of this type, ie, system version control methods, are distributed closed-type management for each user, and are not managed as common information. For this reason, for example, when data for all users is required, it not only takes a huge amount of man-hours and time, but also has the disadvantage of inaccurate or missing information. Another drawback is that it takes too much time to search for necessary data when changing, improving, or expanding the system.

The object of the present invention is to provide a system version control method that does not have these drawbacks.

Means for Solving Problem C] The version control method of the system of the present invention stores user system arrangement data for each user.

It is characterized by inputting design manufacturing data, design change data, and system inspection data into a computer, processing these data with a program, and outputting necessary data from the computer when maintaining or expanding the system.

The version control system of the present invention has the functions of quickly outputting necessary data, making it more accurate, and making it available for common use by centralizing information and using conbuques.

Therefore, by using large-scale computers that connect various offices online, real-time performance, data sharing, and centralized processing can be realized in all related departments. In addition, computer input/output terminals are placed at each office, arranged, designed, and! ! ! Data can be entered and retrieved through the construction and inspection modules.

〔Example〕

FIG. 1 is an example of a system configuration for explaining an embodiment of the present invention. At each office such as A factory 1.8 factory 2,
Input/output terminals 3 are installed, and these input/output terminals are connected to the computer center 4 online. A large computer will be installed in the calculation center as a central management system.

FIG. 2 shows the configuration of data processing during operation of this embodiment. User system arrangement data, design manufacturing data, design change data, and system inspection data generated independently from each department are inputted to a large computer in a computer center 4 from an input/output terminal 3 for each user and are stored therein.

When maintaining or expanding the system, retrieval of necessary data is performed by a large computer in the computer center processing a program in accordance with instructions from the input/output terminal 3 to create and output retrieval data.

The search data includes maintenance data for systems delivered to users, design support data such as a list of all users whose systems need to be changed or improved, and a system breakdown of a project to identify the revision history of physical quantity-specific systems. For example, the manufactured version of the system (software, hardware) and the product name and quantity of each shipped system can be stored in a computer for each user, and when maintenance or expansion is necessary, the version of the system can be updated. Compare the included product name with the product name stored in the computer,
If they match, the user name with the system product name and system quantity can be output.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, according to the present invention, by centrally inputting and managing various data using a large computer, anyone, anywhere can accurately and quickly input maintenance data, design assistance data, etc. for systems delivered to users. It has the effect of being searchable.
