Abstract

A cable life prediction method, includes: acquiring resistance value data indicating chronological change in a resistance value of a cable based on an operation of a managed device and an operating data, by a cable status management device, from a device user-side data management device, thereby, in the cable status management device, estimating wire-break progress in the cable based on at least one of the acquired resistance value data and the acquired operating data; and in the cable status management device, predicting a life of the cable based on a wire-break progress data and the operating data, and storing the predicted life of the cable as cable life prediction data. At least a device manufacturer terminal of a device manufacturer that manufactures the managed device or a cable manufacturer terminal of a cable manufacturer that manufactures the cable is configured to be accessible with the stored cable life prediction data.

Claims (8)

1 . A cable life prediction method, comprising:

acquiring a resistance value data indicating a chronological change in a resistance value of a cable based on an operation of a managed device and an operating data which is data of an operating status of the managed device, by a cable status management device, from a device user-side data management device of a device user that uses the managed device, thereby, in the cable status management device, estimating wire-break progress of the cable based on at least one of the acquired resistance value data and the acquired operating data; and

in the cable status management device, predicting a life of the cable based on a wire-break progress data indicating the wire-break progress and the operating data, and storing the predicted life of the cable as a cable life prediction data;

wherein at least a device manufacturer terminal of a device manufacturer that manufactures the managed device or a cable manufacturer terminal of a cable manufacturer that manufactures the cable is configured to be accessible with the cable life prediction data stored in the cable status management device.

2 . The cable life prediction method, according to claim 1 , wherein the wire-break progress data is acquired by performing frequency-analysis of the resistance value data.

3 . The cable life prediction method, according to claim 1 , wherein the life of the cable is predicted by performing machine learning based on the wire-break progress data and the operating data.

4 . The cable life prediction method, according to claim 1 , wherein the managed device comprises an industrial robot.

5 . The cable life prediction method, according to claim 1 , wherein the managed device comprises an automobile.
