Information processing device and information processing method

An information processing device, comprising:

• a communication interface configured to receive information indicating a state of a piece of equipment in a production facility;
• and
• a controller configured to operate with reference to the information, wherein
• in response to the information indicating the state of the piece of equipment satisfies a first condition, the controller is configured to carry out a first process of outputting a first alarm for prompting maintenance of the piece of equipment,
• in response to the information indicating the state of the piece of equipment satisfies a second condition, the controller is configured to carry out a second process of outputting a second alarm that indicates an occurrence of abnormality or a sign of abnormality in the piece of equipment,
• the controller is configured to carry out a process of obtaining a rule based on information input by a user, the rule associating a determination condition with the first alarm or the second alarm,
• in response to the information indicating, the state of the piece of equipment satisfies the determination condition and the determination condition being associated with the first alarm the controller is configured to carry out the first process of outputting the first alarm based on an assumption that the state of the piece of equipment satisfies the first condition,
• in response to the information indicating the state of the piece of equipment satisfies the determination condition and the determination condition being associated with the second alarm, the controller is configured to carry out the second process of outputting the second alarm based on an assumption that the state of the piece of equipment satisfies the second condition, and
• the controller is configured to carry out a third process of outputting a tendency in which the first alarm is output and a tendency in which the second alarm is output.
