The beacon transmitter is attached to or embedded into a field device in the plant facility and broadcasts a beacon signal including an identifier of the field device. The server includes a display, a storage that stores process data corresponding to the identifiers, and a controller that receives wireless signals including the identifiers from the mobile terminal and identifies the process data corresponding to the identifiers received with the wireless signals. The mobile terminal includes a display, a beacon receiver that receives the beacon signals, and a controller that transmits the wireless signals to the server with the identifiers received with the beacon signals. At least one of the displays of the server and the mobile terminal displays the process data identified by the controller of the server.
