Abstract:
Disclosed are a self-diagnosis system of a home appliance and operation method of the same that self-diagnose and display a state of a home appliance having a self-diagnosis function, recognize and analyze the displayed self-diagnosis information, and provide proper service information corresponding to the state of the home appliance. A state of a home appliance having a self-diagnosis function is self-diagnosed, the diagnosed result is displayed as various images, such as a 7-segment image, QR code, and LED or sound type Morse code, self-diagnosis information displayed as the images is recognized and analyzed, and proper service information is provided to a user or a service provider, thereby easily checking a problem cause of the home appliance.
Abstract:
A method for outputting failure handling method includes: detecting conditions of each part of a working machine; transmitting condition signals representing the detected conditions; receiving the condition signals; calculating a handling method for a failure showed by the received condition signals; and transmitting a handling signal representing the calculated handling method.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a remote maintenance method, a remote maintenance system, and an industrial device for enabling control and thorough services and billing according to the contents of the remote maintenance operation and the request destination of maintenance and enabling access limit according to the attribute of a service person, access limit according to the device state, and output limit according to the output mode. The industrial device 123 installed at the factory 120 and the operation device 113 installed in the maintenance center 110 are connected via the network 100.

Abstract:
A working time for each of an engine 32, a front 15, a swing body 13, and a travel body 12 of a hydraulic excavator 1 working in fields is measured. Measured data is stored in a memory of a controller 2 and then transferred to a base station computer 3 via satellite communication, an FD, etc. to be stored in a database 100. At each repair/replacement of a part in each hydraulic excavator, the base station computer 3 calculates, based on the operation data, a replacement time interval of the part on the basis of the working time per section to which the part belongs, and then stores and accumulates it. The base station computer also reads the stored data for each hydraulic excavator, determines, for each part, a replacement rate of the part having the substantially equal replacement time interval, and calculates a target replacement time interval of the part in accordance with the replacement time interval corresponding to a maximum replacement rate. Thus, the appropriate target replacement time interval can be decided and the appropriate scheduled replacement timing can be determined even for parts belong to a plurality of sections that differ in working time from each other.
Abstract:
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zum Betreiben einer Textilmaschine (1) mit einer Vielzahl von gleichartigen Arbeitsstellen (2), wobei mit Hilfe der Arbeitsstellen (2) während eines Normalbetriebs derselben Garn hergestellt oder von einer Lieferspule auf eine Empfängerspule umgespult wird, und wobei der Normalbetrieb an den einzelnen Arbeitsstellen (2) in gewissen Zeitabständen unterbrochen und mit Hilfe eines Wartungsvorgangs wieder fortgesetzt wird, und wobei die Wartungsvorgänge von einer oder mehreren Wartungsvorrichtungen (3) durchgeführt werden. Erfindungsgemäß wird vorgeschlagen, dass für jede Arbeitsstelle (2) eine oder mehrere produktionsbezogene Kenngrößen bekannt sind oder ermittelt werden und dass dann, wenn mehr Wartungsvorgänge zeitgleich durchgeführt werden sollen als von der bzw. den Wartungsvorrichtungen (3) durchgeführt werden können, die Auswahl der als nächstes zu wartenden Arbeitsstelle (2) unter Berücksichtigung der produktionsbezogenen Kenngrößen derart erfolgt, dass ein anstehender Partiewechsel möglichst frühzeitig abgeschlossen wird.
Abstract:
The present invention is concerned with a flexible way of operating a wind farm with a plurality of degrading wind turbine components. According to the invention, maintenance scheduling and power production in the wind farm are handled concurrently in a single optimization step. Instead of a serial approach first scheduling maintenance activities and subsequently adapting the power production and/or wind turbine operation the two aspects are optimized together. The wind farm operation takes maintenance aspects into account by adapting a life index or health status based on modeled mechanical and electrical stress. Accordingly, the wind farm owner may decide when and how much energy to produce accepting which level of stress to the turbine equipment. The proposed optimization of wind farm operation includes all aspects of transmission network operator settings, the topology of wind farms and the underlying collector grid, the short and long term wind conditions forecasts, the conditions of the turbines, the estimated remaining operational time under different usage patterns and times, as well as aspects of the electricity market.
Abstract:
A management system connected with a clinical testing apparatus is disclosed. The system acquires, from the clinical testing apparatus, a parameter that varies according to deterioration of the unit at a plurality of points of time, stores the parameters and/or analysis results that are obtained by analyzing the parameters, and provides a screen data for showing the stored parameters and/or the stored analysis results in a time-series format. A method for managing a clinical testing apparatus and a clinical resting system for the method are also disclosed.
Abstract:
The operation hours of the engine (32), front (15), pivot cab (13), and traveling gear (12) of a hydraulic shovel (1) operated on the market are measured. The data is stored in a memory of the controller (2), transferred to a base station computer (3) through satellite communication or an FD, and stored in a database (100). The base station computer (3) calculates, stores, and accumulates the operation time interval of each component of each portion of each hydraulic shovel on an operation hour base of the portion by using operation data every time the component is replaced for repair, reads the data for each hydraulic shovel, calculates the replacement rates of components the replacement time intervals of which are almost equal to that of each component, and the target replacement time interval of the component from replacement time interval corresponding to the maximum replacement rate. Thus an appropriate target replacement time interval can be determined, and an appropriate replacement scheduled time can be determined even if the component is of a portion having different operation hours.
