Abstract: Operating information (a pilot pressure, a pump pressure, a hydraulic oil temperature, an engine rotational speed, an hour meter and the like) of a hydraulic excavator and use environment information (operator information) of the hydraulic excavator are transmitted to a center server together with body information (for example, a model, a type, a type number, an identification number and the like) from the hydraulic excavator. For example, when a hydraulic hose as a replaceable component of the hydraulic excavator is replaced, the replaceable component information (a replaceable component name and a replacement date) is transmitted to the center server from a computer for maintenance. The center server predicts a replacement time of the replaceable component (hydraulic hose) using the use environment information of the hydraulic excavator in addition to the operating information and the replaceable component information of the hydraulic excavator.
