Abstract: A component life prediction system 1 includes a server device 10 configured to be able to communicate with a work machine 2, and capable of predicting the life of a component of the work machine 2. The server device 10 acquires operation information of the work machine 2 including information about the operation location of the work machine 2, and a pre-stored aerial photo of the operation location of the work machine 2; estimates the industry in which the work machine 2 is used based on the acquired operation information of the work machine 2 and aerial photo of the operation location; and predicts the life of the component of the work machine 2, based on the estimated industry.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a work machine management system that can predict the maintenance timing of a work machine with higher accuracy than conventional techniques. A work machine management system 100 of the present disclosure includes an input/output unit 121 and a processing unit 122. The input/output unit 121 receives from work machines 200 positional information PI and operation information OI on the work machines 200, and also receives from a geographical information system server 300 geological information GI on an area where the work machines 200 are to perform an operation, based on the positional information PI. The processing unit 122 predicts the maintenance timing of each work machine 200 based on the operation information OI and the geological information GI.
