Abstract
An automated abnormal machine tracking and notifying method includes automatically collecting and analyzing a plurality of test results to obtain a plurality of abnormal information, storing the abnormal information in a machine status database, respectively counting an integral value of each abnormal information of at least a related potentially abnormal machine, judging whether a sum of the integral values of each potentially abnormal machine is greater than n, and automatically notifying at least a user of the potentially abnormal machine and the abnormal information by an automatic notification subsystem when the sum of the integral values is greater than n.
Claims21
An automated abnormal machine tracking and notifying system comprising:
- a data collecting and analyzing subsystem used to collect and analyze a plurality of test results to obtain a plurality of abnormal information automatically;
- a machine status database used to store the abnormal information;
- an abnormal information counting device used to respectively count an integral value of each abnormal information of at least a related potentially abnormal machine;
- a judging device used to judge whether a sum of the integral values of each abnormal information of each related potentially abnormal machine is greater than n or not, and when the sum of the integral values being greater than n, the judging device deciding to notify at least a user;
- wherein n is adjustable according to machine type, machine throughput, machine idle time, or preventive maintenance (PM) cycle;
- and
- an automatic notification subsystem used to notify the user of the potentially abnormal machine and the abnormal information.
An automated abnormal machine tracking and notifying method, comprising steps of:
- automatically collecting and analyzing a plurality of test results to obtain a plurality of abnormal information by a data collecting and analyzing subsystem;
- storing the abnormal information in a machine status database;
- respectively counting an integral value of each abnormal information of at least a related potentially abnormal machine by an abnormal information counting device;
- judging whether a sum of the integral values of each abnormal information of each related potentially abnormal machine is greater than n or not by a judging device;
- wherein n is adjustable according to machine type, machine throughput, machine idle time, or preventive maintenance cycle;
- and
- automatically notifying at least a user of the potentially abnormal machine and the abnormal information by an automatic notification subsystem when the sum of the integral values is greater than n.
