Construction machine managing method and system, and arithmetic processing device
First Claim
1. A method for managing a construction machine, the method comprising the steps of:
- a first step (S9-14, S20-24, S30-32) of measuring an operation status for each of a plurality of construction machines (1, 1a, 1b, 1c) working in fields, transferring the measured operation status to a base station computer (3), and then storing and accumulating it as operation data in a database (100); and
a second step (S36-40, S44-47) of, in said base station computer, statistically processing said operation data, and then producing and outputting estimation data of the number of construction machines to be renewed, the number of renewed construction machines being estimated from said estimation data.

Abstract
A controller 2 is mounted on a hydraulic excavator 1 working in fields. An operating time for each of an engine 32, a front 15, a swing body 13 and a travel body 12 is measured and stored in a memory of the controller 2. The measured data is transferred to a base station computer 3 through satellite communication, a FD, etc. and stored in a database 100 inside the base station computer 3. The base station computer 3 reads, per hydraulic excavator, the data stored in the database 100 and then prepares and outputs a distribution graph of the number of operated machines with respect to the working time (engine running time) of the hydraulic excavator. While looking at the distribution graph, a machine maker estimates the number of hydraulic excavators to be renewed and estimates the sales quantity of hydraulic excavators, thereby setting up a production plan of hydraulic excavators. It is hence possible to precisely estimate the sales quantity of construction machines and to set up an adequate production plan of construction machines.
