Description

The present invention relates to an information processing system, an information processing device, a communication terminal, an electronic device, and an information processing method.

Regular maintenance (including replacement of necessary parts) of pumps and related equipment (drives, transmissions, etc.) installed in plants enables stable and continuous operation. That is, regular maintenance is essential for continued use of the pump, and is generally performed at intervals of 2 to 6 years.

When servicing the pump, first disassemble the pump casing, then clean and inspect the inside of the pump (including parts replacement if necessary), and then reassemble the pump casing. However, consumable parts such as O-rings and gaskets installed on the mating surfaces of the casing, etc., are deformed once they are used, so it is necessary to replace them with new ones when reassembling. Consumables must also be prepared when inspecting the inside of the pump.

Since these consumables have different specifications such as shape and material for each pump, check the individual specifications of the consumables that should be prepared according to the pump that needs maintenance, and be sure to prepare them before starting reassembly. Otherwise, the start of reassembly will be delayed, resulting in a delay in the pump maintenance period. Especially in a huge plant where more than 1000 pumps are installed in one plant, it takes a considerable amount of time and effort just to identify the specifications of the necessary consumables. It takes a lot of work for administrators.

In addition, in the case of scheduled pump maintenance, it is possible to prepare these consumables in advance. There is no time to prepare supplies in advance, and the preparation time for consumables determines the maintenance and service time of the pump. Since the maintenance and inspection time of the pump is also connected to the plant recovery time, the preparation time for these consumables is an important factor in plant operation.

As shown above, the preparation period for consumables affects the recovery time of the pump. Good preparation is one of the important elements of pump maintenance.
Currently, it takes considerable time and effort to prepare these consumables so that there are no delays.
Even if some of the consumables are stocked locally at the plant, when identifying the used consumables and preparing them again, if there are more than 1000 pumps in one plant, the preparation It takes a lot of work.

Here, the management method of pumps and related equipment (hereinafter collectively referred to as pumps) in plants such as oil refineries where many pumps are installed is different from the management method of pumps sold for general users. Very different.

In the case of pumps sold to general users, the pump model is the specification (model = specification), and the pump model should be identified and managed regardless of the user's purpose or usage environment. a lot of cases. That is, the maintenance parts of the user's pump correspond to the maintenance parts as they are if the model of the pump is managed. Therefore, since the pump is identified and managed by the type=specification, it is possible to implement a management method according to the specification under the leadership of the manufacturer.

On the other hand, in the case of pumps sold to plants, there are generally multiple types of processes in the plant, and it is necessary for the pre-process and post-process to operate organically in just the right amount. In addition, each process in the plant is required to continue processing a large amount stably for a long period of time. Therefore, many of the pumps used in each plant are considerably larger and more expensive than pumps sold to general users. By applying a specific operating load according to the situation and adjusting the degree of the load, it is individualized according to the process. For example, a high-load process has a high maintenance frequency, and a low-load process has a low maintenance frequency, so that the maintenance histories are different. Also, if the materials of some parts are changed by adjustment, the specifications may not be the same even if the model is the same. Therefore, the pumps used in the plant are assigned item numbers according to process-specific or process-specific rules at the initiative of the plant user.

Pump manufacturers also need to comply with such a management method led by plant users. ), making the equipment management in the plant complicated and difficult. Specifically, it also affects maintenance and inspection of equipment in the plant, management of related parts (consumables or replacement parts, etc.), matching of replacement parts and consumables corresponding to the item number, and subsequent replacement of these parts manufacturing, procurement, inventory management, and pump replacement history management.
