MAINTENANCE CONTROL DEVICE, MAINTENANCE CONTROL SYSTEM, MAINTENANCE CONTROL METHOD, AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER-READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM STORING PROGRAM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18511058 titled 'MAINTENANCE CONTROL DEVICE, MAINTENANCE CONTROL SYSTEM, MAINTENANCE CONTROL METHOD, AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER-READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM STORING PROGRAM

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a maintenance control system for a printing apparatus that predicts future use states based on historical data and determines maintenance needs accordingly.

  • Use history acquisition unit acquires historical data of the printing apparatus.
  • Use state prediction unit forecasts future use states based on the acquired historical data.
  • Maintenance content determination unit decides maintenance tasks based on the predicted future use states.

Potential Applications

This technology can be applied in various industries where predictive maintenance is crucial, such as manufacturing, healthcare, and transportation.

Problems Solved

1. Predictive maintenance helps prevent unexpected breakdowns and reduces downtime. 2. Efficient allocation of maintenance resources based on predicted future use states.

Benefits

1. Increased equipment reliability and lifespan. 2. Cost savings through optimized maintenance schedules. 3. Improved operational efficiency.

Potential Commercial Applications

Predictive maintenance software for industrial equipment optimization.

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art could be predictive maintenance systems used in other industries, such as predictive maintenance software for aircraft engines.

Unanswered Questions

How does the system handle real-time data updates for more accurate predictions?

The abstract does not mention the real-time data update process for the maintenance control system.

What is the accuracy rate of the use state predictions made by the system?

The abstract does not provide information on the accuracy rate of the use state predictions.


Original Abstract Submitted

A maintenance control system includes a use history acquisition unit that acquires a use history of a printing apparatus, a use state prediction unit that predicts a future use state of the printing apparatus based on the use history of the printing apparatus acquired by the use history acquisition unit, and a maintenance content determination unit that determines a maintenance content of the printing apparatus based on a prediction result predicted by the use state prediction unit.
