Abstract: To achieve the object of making it easier to collectively grasp the state of the production line, an information processing method includes a first screen displaying step and a second screen displaying step. A first screen displaying step displays a first screen including a plurality of widgets. Each of the widgets is configured based on information outputted from application software which is associated with each of the widgets among a plurality of pieces of application software that manage a state of a production line. A second screen displaying step, when an operation performed on any widget of the plurality of widgets has been accepted, displays a second screen of application software which is associated with the widget.

Abstract: Equipment in a production facility is managed with use of information from the equipment and information from a sensor for measurement of a state of the equipment, while achieving a high degree of freedom in increasing and decreasing the number of such sensors.
The present invention is provided with a gateway (10) and a server (20). The gateway is connected to a controller included in each piece of equipment and connected, without being intermediated by the controller, to an externally attached sensor accompanying the each piece of equipment. The server is connected to the gateway. The gateway carries out the processes of: receiving, from each controller, information indicative of an internal state of the piece of equipment; receiving, from each sensor, information indicative of an external state of the piece of equipment; and transmitting these pieces of information to the server. The server carries out a process of combining and outputting the information indicative of the internal state and the information indicative of the external state received from the gateway.

Abstract: For equipment in a production facility, information for more appropriately determining a state of the equipment is presented. The information processing device: receives information indicative of a state of equipment in a production facility (S202); carries out a process of outputting, when the received information indicative of the state of the equipment satisfies a first condition, a first alarm for prompting maintenance of the equipment (S204); carries out a process of outputting, when the information indicative of the state of the equipment satisfies a second condition, a second alarm that indicates occurrence of abnormality or a sign of abnormality in the equipment (S206); and carries out a process of outputting, in a distinguishably recognizable manner, a tendency in which the first alarm is outputted and a tendency in which the second alarm is outputted (S207).
