Information collection and display system, information collection method, and information display method

An information system coupled to a data generation device that generates site data as to plural tasks included in a process, the information system also being coupled to a storage device that stores the site data generated by the data generation device of the information system, the information system being configured to execute:

• generating, for each of the tasks, definition information that defines (a) a plurality of task association information that classify the site data in the storage device, (b) task information that defines task content of itself and association with another task, and (c) extension information being a storage area for storing information with a high utilization rate selectively in advance and which is set in the definition information in advance so that the information with the high utilization rate can be quickly acquired,
• wherein the task association information includes worker information, machine information, material information, and work procedure information, each associated with the task information, and wherein the task information and each of the task association information are associated with each other by relation information created from the definition information;
• generating, for each of the tasks, association data that includes a memory address for accessing the site data stored in the storage device on the basis of the definition information;
• storing the association data in the information system;
• and
• upon receiving selection of a first information derived from a first task of the plural tasks and executed by a first machine node of the plurality of machine nodes, searching the stored association data for a second information derived from a second task of the plural tasks and executed by a second machine node of the plurality of machine nodes,
• wherein the information system comprises:
• a user interface unit that displays a connection relation of the plurality of the task association information associated with each other by the association data, and
• wherein the information system is further configured to execute:
• when the first machine node related to the first task is selected, displaying the first information derived from the first task;
• searching, on the basis of the association data, for the second information associated with the first information that is selected from the connection relation displayed;
• displaying the first information and the second information on the user interface unit with the connection relation of the plurality of the task association information;
• when a first item of the first information is selected from a plurality of displayed items of first information, derived from the first task to be executed by the first machine node, visually indicating that a displayed second item from a plurality of displayed items of the second information, derived from the second task to be executed by the second machine node, is related to the first item of the first information based on the association data;
• creating a data mart including the first information and the second information, and
• performing data analysis utilizing the data mart.
