A method for controlling an automatic inspection system that collects and inspects data from a plurality of inspection targets, which are each one of an ammeter, voltmeter, pressure gauge, flow meter, level meter, thermometer, hygrometer, solar meter and an anemometer, the automatic inspection system including:
- a plurality of inspection target reading devices respectively corresponding to each of the plurality of inspection targets, each inspection target reading device including a processor coupled to a sensor, a plurality of wireless slave stations respectively corresponding to each of the inspection target reading devices that performs communication via a wireless network, a plurality of display units respectively corresponding to each inspection target configured to display a determination condition of each inspection target, a determination condition input unit having a camera configured to image the information displayed each display unit, the determination condition is information indicating a range of a normal state of the inspection target, the method comprising:
- causing, by the processor, the sensor to obtain data from the inspection target and generate measurement data of the inspection target;
- transmitting, by each wireless slave station, the generated measurement data via the wireless network;
- determining, by the determination condition input unit, the determination condition from the image;
- by a computer that is connected to each inspection target reading device via the wireless network:
- acquiring the measurement data from each inspection target reading device from the wireless master station via the wireless network;
- storing the acquired measurement data in a data storage unit;
- storing determination conditions related to the measurement data in a determination condition storage unit, which are from the determination condition input unit,
- for each inspection target device, superimposing the measurement data and the determination condition on each other and generate graphical information indicating the determination condition and the measurement data and whether the measurement data is within the range of the determination condition;
- and
- outputting the generated graphical information on a display.
