Computer system and facility monitoring method

A facility monitoring method, which is executed by a computer system to monitor a facility, in which a product is manufactured, that includes a plurality of machines,

• the computer system including at least one computer,
• the facility including at least one camera,
• the at least one camera being configured to generate first facility operation data, which includes an image of any given space,
• the facility monitoring method including:
• a first step of obtaining, by the at least one computer, the first facility operation data;
• a second step of identifying, by the at least one computer, an object that is included in the image to generate first analysis data, which includes information about the object;
• a third step of identifying, by the at least one computer, work that is performed in the facility, based on the first facility operation data;
• a fourth step of generating, by the at least one computer, work analysis data, which associates the identified work, a period in which the work has been performed, and at least one of the plurality of machines that is related to the work with one another;
• and
• a fifth step of outputting, by the at least one computer, a visual display of at least one of time-series information that indicates illustrates a flow of the work related to one of the plurality of machines, or statistical information of the work related to the one of the plurality of machines, by using the work analysis data, to enable a user to identify issues and areas of improvement with regard to running the facility;
• wherein the facility includes at least one sensor, the at least one sensor being configured to measure a value that indicates at least one of a state of the at least one of the plurality of machines and an environment around the at least one of the plurality of machines,
• wherein the at least one sensor is configured to generate second facility operation data, which includes the measured value,
• wherein the first step includes a step of obtaining, by the at least one computer, the second facility operation data,
• wherein the second step includes a step of executing, by the at least one computer, analysis processing that uses the second facility operation data to generate second analysis data, which indicates a given event in the facility;
• wherein the third step includes a step of identifying, by the at least one computer, the work based on a combination of the first analysis data and the second analysis data;
• wherein the computer system is configured to hold determination criterion information for storing a determination criterion, which associates the work with a combination that has, as an element, at least one of an event related to the at least one of the by the at least one computer machines or an object;
• wherein the third step includes a step of identifying, by the at least one computer, the work by referring to the determination criterion information with a combination that has, as an element, at least one of the first analysis data or the second analysis data as a search key;
• and
• wherein the work includes manufacturing the product with the plurality of machines.
