An inspection method is conducted after the assembly of an industrial
engine is complete. An identification code assigned to an industrial
engine is read. Basic engine specification data and device-specific
engine specification data that correspond to the read identification code
are extracted from a database to a completion inspection unit. Various
inspections are conducted on the individual engine by the completion
inspection unit on the basis of the extracted basic engine specification
data. The device-specific engine specification data of the engine that
has passed the inspection is written into memory. A confirmation
inspection is then conducted by a device-specific inspection machine to
determine whether the engine has the output characteristics required by
the mounting device.
