Software generation method and software generation system

Abstract

The software generation method uses a computer, wherein the computer includes a control unit and a storage unit; the storage unit stores manufacturing log data that includes sensor data acquired in one or both of a manufacturing process and an inspection process, and environmental configuration information that relates to a manufacturing device or an inspection device from which the sensor data are acquired for each component or product; and the control unit reads the manufacturing log data from the storage unit, reads the environment configuration information from the storage unit, constructs a causal inference model based on the manufacturing log data, constructs an expanded causal inference model by expanding the causal inference model using the environment configuration information, generates a contracted model by contracting the expanded causal inference model to a causal relation of prescribed target data of interest, and generates prescribed application software by reading the contracted model.
