FAILURE DIAGNOSIS METHOD, METHOD OF MANUFACTURING DISK DEVICE, AND RECORDING MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18181087 titled 'FAILURE DIAGNOSIS METHOD, METHOD OF MANUFACTURING DISK DEVICE, AND RECORDING MEDIUM

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a failure diagnosis method for a disk device installed in a manufacturing rack. The method involves acquiring data on the state of a predetermined constituent unit in the rack and determining if it falls within an allowable range.

  • Disk device installed in a manufacturing rack
  • Acquiring data on the state of a constituent unit
  • Determining if the state falls within an allowable range

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in various industries where monitoring and diagnosing the state of equipment or components is crucial for ensuring smooth operations and preventing failures.

Problems Solved

1. Early detection of potential failures in manufacturing equipment. 2. Efficient diagnosis of issues within a manufacturing rack.

Benefits

1. Improved maintenance planning. 2. Reduced downtime due to equipment failures. 3. Enhanced overall efficiency in manufacturing processes.

Potential Commercial Applications

Optimizing Manufacturing Equipment Failure Diagnosis for Improved Operations

Possible Prior Art

There may be existing methods or systems for monitoring and diagnosing the state of equipment in industrial settings, but specific prior art related to this exact method would need to be researched further.

=== What are the potential impacts of this technology on manufacturing efficiency? This technology could significantly improve manufacturing efficiency by enabling proactive maintenance and timely identification of issues, reducing downtime and optimizing production processes.

=== How does this method compare to traditional failure diagnosis techniques? This method offers a more automated and systematic approach to failure diagnosis, utilizing data acquisition and analysis to make informed decisions about the state of equipment components. Traditional techniques may rely more on manual inspections and subjective assessments.


Original Abstract Submitted

According to an embodiment, there is provided a failure diagnosis method. The failure diagnosis method includes installing a disk device in a manufacturing rack. The failure diagnosis method acquiring, by the disk device, data on a state of a predetermined constituent unit in the manufacturing rack with the disk device being installed in the manufacturing rack. The failure diagnosis method includes determining, by the disk device, whether or not the state of the predetermined constituent unit falls within an allowable range by using the data acquired.
