APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR MONITORING THE OPERATING STATUSES OF FACILITIES ON THE BASIS OF GRAPHICAL SECTOR REPRESENTATION

摘要

The present invention relates to an apparatus and method for monitoring the operating statuses of facilities on the basis of graphical sector representation, which represent the operating status of facilities such as a plant or a building in a fan-shaped graphical representation in which sectors on a concentric circle are represented using the size of radius, different colors, and color tones. The apparatus of the present invention comprises: a data collection unit which collects information and data required for monitoring the operating statuses of a plurality of facilities; an operating status-determining unit which determines the operating statuses of the facilities using the information and data transmitted from the data collection unit; and a user interface unit which divides a chart shaped as a concentric circle into sectors corresponding to various operating statuses of the facilities to be monitored, and which represents each operating status of the facilities in a fan-shaped graphical representation extending from the center of a concentric circle serving as an origin, wherein sectors on the concentric circle correspond to each operating status, such that the farther the graphical representation is spaced apart from the center of the concentric circle, the closer the operating status of the facility is to reaching an abnormal operating status. According to the present invention, the operating statuses of facilities to be monitored can be quickly and clearly checked, thereby improving the ability to monitor the operating status of facilities, reducing manpower, and improving the efficiency of monitoring.
