2. Description of the Related Art In a waste treatment plant for industrial products such as home electric appliances, office automation equipment, and automobiles, a decomposition process is provided before a crushing process in order to increase a recycling rate of valuable resources or a removal rate of harmful substances. The products put into the factory are disassembled to the parts level, and the disassembled parts are put into crushing equipment according to the constituent materials.

[0003] In such a disassembly process of a plant, in addition to manual disassembly, attempts have been made to perform disassembly by mechanical disassembly equipment in order to perform more efficient disassembly. In such plants, the size of the product to be decomposed,
It is necessary to present the individual information of the product to be disassembled, such as the internal structure and the number of parts, to the workers, and to instruct the disassembly equipment. Such disassembly instruction information, disassembly support information, and product disassembly information such as material composition information Attempts have been made to create a database.

For example, JP-A-6-168253, JP-A-6-226239 and JP-A-6-2462.
In the technology disclosed in Japanese Patent Publication No. 56-56, etc., a database of product disassembly information has been proposed. The proposed content accumulates disassembly information for each target product, and includes a product type name, a manufacturer, The data of the product to be disassembled is extracted from the accumulated product disassembly information by using data specifying the product such as a serial number as a keyword.
