Abstract

A method for avoiding irregular shutoff of production equipment, includes: measuring regularly time-series data of characteristics of a rotary machine used in the production equipment running for the production; obtaining first failure diagnosis data subjecting the time-series data to a first real-time analysis; obtaining second failure diagnosis data subjecting the first failure diagnosis data to a second real-time analysis; predicting a status of the production equipment several minutes later using the second failure diagnosis data; and shutting off during a production process if the result of the prediction determines that the production equipment will shut off irregularly, and switching to a purge sequence for conducting a gas purge of the production equipment.
