Publication number: 20210149875Abstract: A fault indicator diagnostic system and fault indicator diagnostic method, with which a fault indicator of a machine can be more accurately diagnosed, has an operation sensor data table which indicates an association between sensor data and an acquisition time of the sensor data. An operation mode data table indicates an association between an operation mode and a time of operation in the operation mode. An operation data table is created by merge processing the operation sensor data table and the operation mode data table comprising the sensor data with regard to the operation mode at a given time. The system compares, in a given operation mode, a threshold determined on the basis of a diagnostic model created by learning from normal sensor data with a value computed on the basis of the diagnostic model from the sensor data to be diagnosed, and determines whether a malfunction is occurring.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 18, 2019Publication date: May 20, 2021Inventors: Shohei FUJIMOTO, Toshiyuki ODAKA, Junji NOGUCHI
