1. A management system for fusion splicer malfunction, the management system comprising:
a fusion splicer to generate operation information in response to a splicing of optical fibers;
one or more processors configured to:
acquire the operation information generated by the fusion splicer, the operation information including:
a measured luminance when an amount of light in a microscope of the fusion splicer is at maximum,
a focus position when the microscope is focused, and
a luminance waveform acquired from the microscope,
determine a type of a failure mode of a fusion splicer based on the acquired operation information such that the determined type of the failure mode is one failure type selected from the group consisting of:
a first type failure with the microscope, which is determined by comparing the measured luminance to a first preset reference value,
a second type failure with the microscope, which is determined by comparing the focus position to a second preset reference value,
a third type failure with the microscope, which is determined by comparing the luminance waveform to a preset reference waveform,
a failure with an electrode mount in the microscope, which is determined when image information indicates that discharge electrodes of the microscope do not emit light at the time of discharging,
a failure with a stage of the fusion splicer, which is determined based on sensor information, a failure of a heater of the fusion splicer, which is determined when an increase in temperature is not detected, and
a failure of a V-groove for placing an optical fiber in the fusion splicer, which is determined based on sensor or image information acquired at the time of fusion;
acquire position information of the fusion splicer; and
identify a maintenance base selected among a plurality of maintenance bases, based on the determined type of the failure mode and the acquired position information of the fusion splicer; and
a display device in communication with the one or more processors, to display the identified maintenance base.
