Abstract

Provided is an industrial equipment production system, including: a production propriety acquisition unit configured to acquire a determination result indicating whether or not industrial equipment is producible by using setting information regarding the industrial equipment based on equipment information regarding the industrial equipment; a supply propriety acquisition unit configured to acquire, based on user information regarding a user, a determination result indicating whether or not the industrial equipment produced by using the setting information is suppliable to the user; and a permission unit configured to permit the production of the industrial equipment that uses the setting information based on the determination result acquired by the production propriety acquisition unit and the determination result acquired by the supply propriety acquisition unit.

Claims

1. An industrial equipment production system, comprising:

a production propriety acquirer configured to acquire a determination result indicating whether or not industrial equipment is producible by using setting information regarding the industrial equipment based on equipment information regarding the industrial equipment;

a supply propriety acquirer configured to acquire, based on user information regarding a user, a determination result indicating whether or not the industrial equipment produced by using the setting information is suppliable to the user; and

a permitter configured to permit the production of the industrial equipment that uses the setting information based on the determination result acquired by the production propriety acquirer and the determination result acquired by the supply propriety acquirer.

2. The industrial equipment production system according to claim 1, wherein:

the user information comprises;

belonging information indicating a region to which the user belongs; and

the supply propriety acquirer is configured to acquire the determination result based on the belonging information.

3. The industrial equipment production system according to claim 2, wherein the supply propriety acquirer is configured to acquire the determination result from a regional system to which the user belongs.

4. The industrial equipment production system according to claim 3, wherein the supply propriety acquirer is configured to request the regional system to which the user belongs, to carry out determination processing if the production propriety acquirer acquires a determination result indicating that the production is possible.

5. The industrial equipment production system according to claim 1, wherein:

the equipment information comprises propriety information indicating whether or not the industrial equipment is producible by using the setting information; and

the production propriety acquirer is configured to acquire the propriety information stored in or produced by the industrial equipment.

6. The industrial equipment production system according to claim 5, wherein the propriety information indicates that the production is impossible if the industrial equipment indicated by the equipment information is produced by using the setting information regarding another piece of industrial equipment.

7. The industrial equipment production system according to claim 1, further comprising:

a production propriety determiner configured to determine, based on the equipment information, whether or not the industrial equipment is producible by using the setting information regarding the industrial equipment,

wherein the production propriety acquirer is configured to acquire a determination result of the production propriety determiner.

8. The industrial equipment production system according to claim 7, wherein the production propriety determiner is configured to determine, based on the equipment information, whether or not the industrial equipment indicated by the equipment information, is produced by using the setting information regarding another piece of industrial equipment.

9. The industrial equipment production system according to claim 1, wherein the permitter is configured to permit, based on the determination result acquired by the production propriety acquirer and the determination result acquired by the supply propriety acquirer, issuance of identification information for producing the industrial equipment by using the setting information.

10. The industrial equipment production system according to claim 1, further comprising a regional system configured to determine whether or not the industrial equipment produced by using the setting information is suppliable to the user.

11. An industrial equipment production method, comprising:

acquiring a determination result indicating whether or not industrial equipment is producible by using setting information regarding the industrial equipment based on equipment information regarding the industrial equipment;

acquiring, based on user information regarding a user, a determination result indicating whether or not the industrial equipment produced by using the setting information is suppliable to the user; and

permitting the production of the industrial equipment that uses the setting information based on the determination result indicating whether or not the production is possible, and the determination result indicating whether or not the supply is possible.

12. A non-transitory computer-readable information storage medium having a program for causing a computer to:

acquire a determination result indicating whether or not industrial equipment is producible by using setting information regarding the industrial equipment based on equipment information regarding the industrial equipment;

acquire, based on user information regarding a user, a determination result indicating whether or not the industrial equipment produced by using the setting information is suppliable to the user; and

permit the production of the industrial equipment that uses the setting information based on the determination result indicating whether or not the production is possible and the determination result indicating whether or not the supply is possible.
