Monitoring system, monitoring apparatus, and monitoring method

A monitoring apparatus comprising:

• a hardware processor configured to receive data from a monitoring object equipment, which is an industrial equipment, the data including a parameter indicating a physical condition of the monitoring object equipment including one or more of a temperature, a current, and a pressure;
• and
• a non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a program with instructions that cause the hardware processor to:
• receive equipment identifying information for identifying the monitoring object equipment and an analysis purpose, which includes the parameter indicating the physical condition of the monitoring object equipment;
• and
• output a tendency of an analysis item data compared with predetermined comparison item data;
• wherein the analysis item data, which has a value within a specified range and is selected from among operation data indicating an operating status of the monitoring object equipment, corresponds to the parameter indicating the physical condition of the monitoring object equipment;
• wherein the specified range is based on the equipment identifying information and the analysis purpose which have been input;
• wherein the comparison item data is data which is of a type different from that of the analysis item data and has a correlation with the analysis item data;
• and
• wherein when the analysis item data is an internal equipment temperature of the monitoring object equipment, a surrounding air temperature is used as the comparison item data.

A monitoring method comprising:

• receiving equipment identifying information for identifying monitoring object equipment, which is an industrial equipment, and an analysis purpose, which includes a parameter indicating a physical condition of the monitoring object equipment including one or more of a temperature, a current, and a pressure;
• determining whether an analysis item data has a value within a specified range, and determining comparison item data to be used for a comparison with the analysis item data;
• and
• outputting, for the analysis item data that has the value within the specified range, a tendency of the analysis item data compared with the comparison item data;
• wherein the analysis item data is selected from among operation data indicating an operating status of the monitoring object equipment, and the analysis item data corresponds to the parameter indicating the physical condition of the monitoring object equipment;
• wherein the specified range is based on the equipment identifying information and the analysis purpose which have been input;
• wherein the comparison item data is data which is of a type different from that of the analysis item data and has a correlation with the analysis item data;
• and
• wherein when the analysis item data is an internal equipment temperature of the monitoring object equipment, a surrounding air temperature is used as the comparison item data.
