1. A system comprising:
edge devices; and
an integrated management apparatus configured to manage the edge devices,
wherein each of the edge devices includes a photodetector,
wherein the integrated management apparatus manages a first trained model and a first condition in association with each other, and manages a second trained model and a second condition in association with each other, each of the first and second conditions setting an imaging condition for a photodetector, used in generating a corresponding one of the first and second trained model, each of the first and second trained models having been trained to inspect a work and to provide an inspection result of the work based on an image output from the photodetector which has captured the image of the work,
wherein the integrated management apparatus is configured to deliver the first trained model and the first condition to an edge device selected from the edge devices, and to deliver the second trained model and the second condition to an edge device selected from the edge devices, and
wherein the one or more edge devices include a first edge device and a second edge device,
wherein the first trained model and the first condition are delivered from the integrated management apparatus to the first edge device,
wherein the second trained model and the second condition are delivered from the integrated management apparatus to the second edge device,
wherein the first trained model and the second trained model are trained models based on a same target, and
wherein the first condition and the second condition are different imaging conditions.
