1. A production system, comprising:
a first industrial machine configured to control a second industrial machine; and
circuitry configured to acquire data relating to an operation of at least one of the first industrial machine or the second industrial machine,
wherein the first industrial machine comprises a synchronous area regularly subjected to synchronization and an asynchronous area different from the synchronous area, and
wherein the first industrial machine is configured to:
write the data into the asynchronous area;
transmit the data written in the asynchronous area to an external device,
determine whether the writing of the data is completed;
transmit a predetermined notification to the external device when it is determined that the writing of the data is completed,
wherein the external device is configured to transmit a predetermined request to the first industrial machine when the external device receives the predetermined notification, and
wherein the first industrial machine is configured to transmit the data to the external device when the predetermined request is received.
