Abstract
An archiving system for archiving electronic data in memory of the archiving system in an audit-proof manner and a related method for archiving electronic data on the archiving system. The archiving system includes memory for storing electronic data, a data processing system for processing the electronic data, and an acquisition system that includes a working step acquisition unit and a component acquisition unit. The working step acquisition unit is configured for acquiring working step raw data, wherein the working step raw data includes working steps which are carried out in a process.
Claims15
An archiving system, comprising:
- memory for storing electronic data;
- a data processing system for processing the electronic data;
- and
- an acquisition system comprising a working step acquisition unit and a component acquisition unit,
- wherein the working step acquisition unit is configured for acquiring working step raw data, wherein the working step raw data includes working steps which are carried out in a process,
- wherein the component acquisition unit is configured for acquiring component raw data, wherein the component raw data includes components which are present for the working steps of the process,
- wherein the data processing system is configured to receive the working step raw data and the component raw data, to convert the working step raw data into working step actual value data, to convert the component raw data into component actual value data, to compare the working step actual value data to working step desired value data, to compare the component actual value data to component desired value data, and to evaluate the comparisons to generate evaluation results, and
- wherein the archiving system is configured to archive as archived electronic data at least the working step raw data, the component raw data, the working step actual value data, and the component actual value data on the memory of the archiving system in an audit-proof manner such that the archived electronic data is protected against subsequent modification and wherein the archived electronic data is indexed using metadata so that the archived electronic data can be retrieved from the memory.
A method for archiving electronic data using an archiving system, wherein the archiving system comprises memory for storing electronic data, a data processing system for processing the electronic data, and an acquisition system comprising a working step acquisition unit and a component acquisition unit, comprising:
- acquiring, by the working step acquisition unit, working step raw data, wherein the working step raw data includes working steps which are carried out in a process,
- acquiring, by the component acquisition unit, component raw data, wherein the component raw data includes components which are present for the working steps of the process,
- receiving, at the data processing system, the working step raw data and the component raw data,
- converting, by the data processing system, the working step raw data into working step actual value data and the component raw data into component actual value data,
- comparing, by the data processing system, the working step actual value data to working step desired value data and the component actual value data to component desired value data, and evaluating the comparisons to generate evaluation results, and
- archiving as archived electronic data at least the working step raw data, the component raw data, the working step actual value data, and the component actual value data on the memory of the archiving system in an audit-proof manner such that the archived electronic data is protected against subsequent modification and wherein the archived electronic data is indexed using metadata so that the archived electronic data can be retrieved from the memory.
