Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

1 is a view showing the configuration of a facility monitoring system according to the present invention. Referring to FIG. 1, a plurality of facilities 101, a facility monitoring server 103, and a database 105 are provided.

The plurality of facilities 101 including the plurality of units and modules are provided to transmit barcodes stored in a memory at the time of initialization of the facilities, and the facility monitoring server 103 receives the barcodes supplied from the plurality of facilities 101. After receiving and analyzing the wired and wireless communication network 111 to output facility monitoring information, and transmits the facility monitoring information to the asset manager 115 and the facility manager 117 through the wired and wireless communication network 113, the equipment failure occurs If a failure is provided to recover.

Here, the facility monitoring server 103 receives and analyzes barcodes supplied from a plurality of units and receives information supplied through a wired / wireless communication network including a communication module including a modem for supplying the analysis result to a facility manager and an asset manager. A control module that controls information, unit operation information, fault information, and repair costs, and a program module in which a plurality of programs for recovering a fault under control of the control module are stored.

In addition, the database 105 includes the location information of the mobile unit, the operation information for managing the operation and operation of the unit, the failure information transmitted when a failure of the facility, and the failure of the facility from the facility monitoring information It is provided to classify and store the repair cost information for repair when it occurs.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the facility monitoring server 103 and the database 105 are described separately, but the facility monitoring server and the database may be integrally formed.

Hereinafter, the operation according to the above configuration will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

After the installation of the above facilities is completed, the facility manager 117 requests a communication connection between the facility monitoring server 103 and the plurality of facilities 101 to establish a connection between the facility detection server 103 and the plurality of facilities 101. You are connected online.

Then, a barcode of each unit stored in the memory of the plurality of facilities 101 is received through the online state of the wired / wireless communication network 111, and the facility monitoring server 103 which receives the barcode of this unit analyzes the facility barcode. Outputs facility monitoring information including location information, unit operation information, fault information, and repair cost information.

The facility monitoring information monitored by the facility monitoring server 103 is provided to the database 105, and the database 105 having received the facility monitoring information receives each of the information included in the facility monitoring information. Store in

That is, the location information database stores the location monitoring information indicating the location of the unit, the facility monitoring information, the operation information database stores the unit operation information for managing the operation and operation of the unit, and is transmitted in the event of a failure of the facility Fault information is stored in a fault information database for storing. And, the repair cost corresponding to the failure information generated when the failure of the facility is stored in the repair information database.

At this time, when the communication connection is requested by at least one of the asset manager 115 and the facility manager 117 to be connected online between the facility monitoring server 103 and the facility manager 117 and the asset manager 115. Of the facility monitoring information stored in the database 105, the information desired by the asset manager 115 and the facility manager 117 is transmitted to the asset manager 115 and the facility manager 117 online.

When failure information indicating a failure of a facility is generated among the information transmitted to the facility manager 117, the facility manager 117 transmits a failure occurrence and the location of the facility to the operator 119, and the failure occurrence information. Received by the operator 119 to recognize the failure occurs and recovers from the failure.
