The invention relates to a method for generating items of context-dependent information for informing a user about a status of a technical system, wherein the items of context-dependent information of the technical system are provided by various data sources. In order to obtain items of information about a new context of the technical system without real data sources, it is proposed that estimated context-dependent items of information of a new context are generated by correlating the data elements of the various data sources and without knowledge of real values of the new context, but based on known and experience-related values, and provided to the user.

A cell controller includes a plurality of sensors for detecting the state of a plurality of manufacturing machines, a state storing unit for storing the state of each manufacturing machine, a breakdown information acquiring unit for acquiring breakdown information of each manufacturing machine, an input unit for inputting recovery operation information when each manufacturing machine stops, a recovery operation information storing unit for storing the recovery operation information of each manufacturing machine, and a correlation data generating unit. The correlation data generating unit generates correlation data obtained by correlating the breakdown information acquired by the breakdown information acquiring unit with the recovery operation information stored by the recovery operation information storing unit in each manufacturing machine, and transmits the same to the database. These configurations enable an operator to easily acquire, when a manufacturing machine in a manufacturing cell stops, a recovery operation most appropriate to the manufacturing machine.
