Abstract

Provided are a failure classifying device, a failure classifying method, and a failure classifying program capable of specifying the causes of failures even when a controller does not generate an alarm. A failure classifying device includes: a failure unit acquiring unit that acquires a data set in which a failure unit of a machine is correlated with one or a plurality of constituent parts; a failure history acquiring unit that acquires a failure history including events of failures that occurred in the past and countermeasure parts; and a correlating unit that stores information on one or a plurality of events in correlation with the failure unit by matching the constituent part to the countermeasure part.

Claims (20)

1. A failure classifying device comprising:

a failure unit acquiring unit that acquires a data set in which a failure unit of a machine is correlated with one or a plurality of constituent parts;

a failure history acquiring unit that acquires a failure history including events of failures that occurred in the past and countermeasure parts for eliminating the failures; and

a correlating unit that stores information on one or a plurality of events in correlation with the failure unit by matching the constituent part to the countermeasure part.

2. The failure classifying device according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a feature extracting unit that extracts a failure keyword included in the information on the event as feature data of each of the failure units correlated by the correlating unit, wherein

the correlating unit stores one or a plurality of pieces of the feature data in correlation with the failure unit.

3. The failure classifying device according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a retrieval receiving unit that receives a retrieval request including a search keyword; and

a retrieval execution unit that retrieves information on the event on the basis of the search keyword and outputs the failure unit correlated with the information on the event.

4. The failure classifying device according to claim 3 , wherein

the retrieval receiving unit extracts feature data included in the retrieval request as the search keyword.

5. A failure classifying method for causing a computer to execute:

a failure unit acquiring step of acquiring a data set in which a failure unit of a machine is correlated with one or a plurality of constituent parts;

a failure history acquiring step of acquiring a failure history including events of failures that occurred in the past and countermeasure parts for eliminating the failures; and

a correlating step of storing information on one or a plurality of events in correlation with the failure unit by matching the constituent part to the countermeasure part.

6. A non-transitory computer-readable medium having a failure classifying program recorded thereon, the failure classifying program causing a computer to execute:

a failure unit acquiring step of acquiring a data set in which a failure unit of a machine is correlated with one or a plurality of constituent parts;

a failure history acquiring step of acquiring a failure history including events of failures that occurred in the past and countermeasure parts for eliminating the failures; and

a correlating step of storing information on one or a plurality of events in correlation with the failure unit by matching the constituent part to the countermeasure part.
