Information managing method, information managing apparatus and substrate processing system
An information managing method for managing information, based upon an electronic message containing apparatus information or event information transmitted from a substrate processing apparatus, comprises: storing the apparatus information of the substrate processing apparatus at the transmission time of the electronic message containing the apparatus information in a first apparatus information storage unit; when the electronic message containing the event information is transmitted, comparing conditions for accumulating the event information and the apparatus information; and when the conditions coincide with each other, storing the apparatus information in a second apparatus information storage unit in association with time when the event information has been generated.
1. An information managing apparatus comprising:
a CPU;
a first apparatus information storage unit storing apparatus information of a substrate processing apparatus based on an electronic message transmitted from the substrate processing apparatus for processing a substrate, the electronic message including at least one of the apparatus information and event information;
a second apparatus information storage unit storing the apparatus information in association with a time stamp when the apparatus information or the event information is generated;
a condition storage unit storing an accumulation condition for accumulating the apparatus information in the second apparatus information storage unit and the apparatus information to be accumulated; and
a registration unit registering the apparatus information to be accumulated and the time stamp thereof associated with the apparatus information to be accumulated in the second apparatus information storage unit when the accumulation condition stored in the condition storage unit is satisfied.
2. A substrate processing system comprising:
a plurality of substrate processing apparatuses; and
an information managing apparatus processing an electronic message including at least one of apparatus information and event information transmitted from the plurality of substrate processing apparatuses, wherein the substrate processing apparatus comprises a transmission unit transmitting the electronic message to the information managing apparatus, and
the information managing apparatus comprises:
a first apparatus information storage unit storing the apparatus information based on the electronic message;
a second apparatus information storage unit storing the apparatus information in association with a time stamp when the apparatus information or the event information is generated;
a condition storage unit storing an accumulation condition for accumulating the apparatus information in the second apparatus information storage unit and the apparatus information to be accumulated; and
a registration unit registering the apparatus information to be accumulated and the time stamp thereof associated with the apparatus information to be accumulated in the second apparatus information storage unit when the accumulation condition stored in the condition storage unit is satisfied.
3. The substrate processing system of claim 2 , further comprising:
a terminal device connected to the information managing apparatus, the terminal device comprising a search unit searching the apparatus information accumulated in the second apparatus information storage unit.
4. The substrate processing system of claim 2 , wherein the substrate processing apparatus comprises:
a search unit searching the apparatus information accumulated in the second apparatus information storage unit; and
a display unit displaying the apparatus information searched by the search unit.
5. A substrate processing apparatus of the substrate processing system according to claims 2 - 4 .
6. The substrate processing system of claim 3 , wherein the terminal device further comprises a display unit displaying the apparatus information stored in the second apparatus information storage unit when the accumulation condition stored in the condition storage unit is satisfied.
