These production equipment need to be regularly inspected and maintained during the semiconductor production process to ensure the safe operation of the equipment, and thus ensure the safe production of semiconductors;

[0003] However, since the number of semiconductors produced each time may be different, the time for transitioning from the previous production stage to the next stage after completing the production process is also different. When the production equipment corresponding to the next production stage needs to be used, the last inspection time of the corresponding equipment may be a long time from the current time. Before using the equipment, it is necessary to view the equipment inspection data to determine whether the equipment can operate safely. For the inspection data uploaded to the supervision terminal after a long interval, referring to it to determine whether the equipment can operate safely is likely to reduce the accuracy of the judgment result. The prior art does not pre-intervene in the equipment inspection time, that is, the time for uploading inspection data, on the basis of the original equipment inspection cycle in necessary cases to maintain the accuracy of the judgment result by referring to the inspection data, and cannot reduce the equipment failure probability of using the equipment after referring to the inspection data.
