  • Publication number: 20230195923
    Abstract: According to one aspect of the present invention, a data management device creates a shared storage area accessible only by the first user and the second user. The data management device further generates a new data file as shared data of the first user and the second user by extracting, according to a shared use condition of data for the second user that is set by the first user, at least some data of at least one data file among one or more data files of the first user, said one or more data files being stored in a dedicated storage area isolated from the second user. Further, the data management device stores the generated shared data in the shared storage area.

  • Publication number: 20230185959
    Abstract: A communication control apparatus according to an aspect of the present invention downloads and acquires, from a center server on a cloud, an approval rule by an approver of upload in upload of a data file to the center server. The approval rule is stored in the center server. When any data file is uploaded to the center server, the communication control apparatus acquires approval of upload of the any data file from the approver in accordance with the acquired approval rule, and uploads the data file to the center server on condition that approval of upload of the data file has been acquired from the approver.

  • Publication number: 20230019594
    Abstract: The confidentiality of data is maintained in a case where analysis of an operation state of a facility is entrusted to the outside. Time difference information in operation between the manufacturing apparatuses (RB1), (RB2), . . . , arranged on the production line (LN) is stored for each of the apparatuses, in an inter-apparatus time difference information storage unit (33). At the occurrence of a failure in one of the manufacturing apparatuses (RB1), (RB2), . . . , the operation estimation unit (13) selects, from among the peripheral apparatuses on the upstream side and the downstream side with respect to the manufacturing apparatus concerned, one on the upstream side and one on the downstream side, estimates an operation period of each selected peripheral apparatus associated with the failure, reads log data corresponding to the estimated operation period from the operation history storage unit (31), and transmits the read piece to the external support center (SC).

  • Publication number: 20230017634
    Abstract: The confidentiality of data is maintained in the case of outsourcing analysis of an operation state of a facility. Degree-of-relevance information indicating a degree of relevance in operation between a plurality of apparatuses included in a facility is stored. At the occurrence of a failure in a first apparatus included in the plurality of apparatuses, a second apparatus having a degree of relevance in operation to the first apparatus equal to or greater than a preset first threshold is selected from the plurality of apparatuses based on the degree-of-relevance information, and the log data relating to operation states of the first apparatus in which a failure has occurred and the selected second apparatus are selectively read from a first memory storage, and the read log data is transmitted to a data user via a network.
