Abstract
An information processing apparatus includes: a processor that: acquires, from a device for an operation of a plant, data that is related to the operation of the plant and to which one of pieces of attribute information indicating a state of the device has been assigned; classifies the acquired data into one of the pieces of attribute information based on the attribute information assigned to the acquired data; and operates the plant by using the data classified into one of the pieces of attribute information.
Claims3
An information processing apparatus comprising:
- a processor that:
- acquires, from a device for an operation of a plant, data that is related to the operation of the plant and to which one of pieces of attribute information indicating a state of the device has been assigned;
- classifies the acquired data into one of the pieces of attribute information based on the attribute information assigned to the acquired data;
- and
- operates the plant by using the data classified into one of the pieces of attribute information,
- wherein
- the pieces of attribute information include information indicating either a situation of the device in which the data has been measured or an operation load of the device,
- the processor further:
- calculates an operation load of the plant based on the situation of the device or the operation load of the device, and
- operates the plant in accordance with the operation load of the plant, and
- the processor further, when either the situation of the device or a load related to an infrastructure of the plant specified by the situation of the device is equal to or greater than a threshold:
- causes unused aging equipment or low efficient equipment to operate, and
- decreases the load applied to the plant while maintaining production of a product material according to a request from a client with respect to the plant.
