  • Publication number: 20260266031
    Abstract: A model generation device executes an inspection information acquisition step, an error acquisition step, and a generation step. The inspection information acquisition step includes acquiring, for an inspection of a work machine, a time at which the inspection has been executed and presence or absence of a failure found from a result of the inspection. The error acquisition step includes acquiring a combination of error codes output before a time at which the inspection has been executed from a control device of the work machine. The control device of the work machine outputs error codes indicating types of error in a case where a state of the work machine is not a desired state. The generation step includes generating a prediction model for predicting the presence or absence of the failure from the combination of the error codes on the basis of the presence or absence of the failure and the combination of the error codes output before a time at which the inspection has been executed.
