What is Information?

Smart Market Report (USA)

• Better Collaboration 76%• Improved Productivity 68%• Shorter schedules 9%• Cost decreases 10%• ROI 2%• Only 51% tracking information flow• Only 20% tracking outside company• Only 37% can access outside site office• Mostly PDF or electronic paper• Two important needs

– Gathering real-time data from job site– Analysing that data

Data over the Internet

What Makes Information Mobile?• Accessibility

– Connected– Capture Anywhere– Consume Anywhere– Usability– Timeliness– Relevance

• Standards

– Content & Structure– Schema– Open Data– Linked Data– Semantic Data

• Analytics• Apps

Connected

• The Cloud– Connects 3G, 4G, Wi Fi– Synchronises (Dropbox)– Provides analytical computing

power

• Does not make information mobile– Works on my Apple devices

but not universally– Important it does not

become a ‘Lock in’ of data– Relies on the size of the ‘Pipe’

Capture

• Ubiquitous Connected Smart Devices

• Power of Position– GPS– Movement

• Sensors– Everywhere (internet of

Things)– Masses of Data

Autodesk 123D CatchiPad Photographs to 3D Models

Location & Movement Tracking

• Mobile device locates via GPS

• Apple M7 Chip gives a clue• Tracks movement• Tracks movement from a

recorded position• Always on and recording

Sensor Examples

• Rolls Royce Engine Health Management (Enterprise)

• Boston Street Bump (Crowd Sourced)

• The lifecycle

• The issues

• The solutions

Agenda

• Not just from design to handover but conception to demolition• Historically design based on blueprints – now BIM• Now information is not just 3D modelling

– Time– Cost– Light Analysis– Geographic Information– Quantities – Manufacturer details– Change etc.

• Information flow and collaboration between design / main contractor/subcontractors/owners/operators/demolition

• Single shared model in one place, accessible any time reduces information loss and ensures the “single source of truth”

The Lifecycle of an Asset and it’s information

• The amount of information

• The storage of the information

• The security of the information

• Collaboration of the information

• Timeliness of the information (voice)

• The mobility of the information

• The accessibility and availability ofthe information

The issues

• Site may not have adequate coverage on 3/4G

• Slow DSL speeds

• Cabins need moving

• Connectivity needs to be in place quickly

• Site is too short term to invest in infrastructure

• Site is a refurbishment

• Importance of a site back-up connection

• Site has no initial electricity

• Multiple users

• Excess construction charges

Mobile Strategy and 2014 Plan

Our View of the Benefits

The Business Case for Mobility?

Worksite business requirements stem from the need for:

• Collaborative information

• In the right place at the right time

• Directly supporting safer working

Business Drivers

Derived from analysis conducted at C411 Bond Street Project

Quantitative:

• Reduced printing costs - £9,600 per annum

• Reduced travel around the worksite - £3,300 per annum

• Reduced double-entry of data - £1,700 per annum

Business Benefits

Derived from analysis conducted at C411 Bond Street Project

Qualitative:

• Enables Field Engineers and Site Managers to spend more time on site whilst staying connected to colleagues and issues in the office

• Paper tends to loose all integrity in wet weather whereas a cased tablet allows the user to view and annotate drawings in all weather conditions.

• The majority of drawings are produce in A1 but for practical reasons are often printed in A3. This makes viewing some of the more detailed elements difficult. A tablet device allows the user to zoom in and view drawings as intended.

• The ability to access emails and outlook at the site offices and during meetings.

Business Benefits

• The total quantitative benefits are estimated at £14,583 per annum, giving a Total Quantitative Benefit (over 5 years) of £72,915.

• Using these benefits as the basis for extrapolation across all the CRL worksites is too subjective for business case purposes

• A conservative approach assumes that these benefits would apply to 12 (of the 24) main worksites (ie the Stations, Portals, Shafts and Tunnel Drives) across the Programme.

• This approach would yield an estimated quantitative benefit of £175,000 per annum or £875,000 Total Benefit (over five years) averaged over 12 of 24 main worksites.

• It is assumed that the qualitative benefits will apply universally across all of the 24 main worksites.

Business Benefits

Transforming Efficiency with Supply Chain Collaboration in the Cloud

Stuart Young - COMIT Projects , Lead for COMIT in EMT

Sandeep Jain – Mobibiz CEO, Lead PM for EMT

Motivation to change• Materials and Equipment can control 80% of the

project schedule• Construction Industry invests < 0.15 % of its costs in

Materials Management and control• Poor visibility of the supply chain is often a

contributor to poor performance• Major drain on the specialist resource at critical

times

What is the Project about?What is Enable My Team?

• Cloud based collaboration platform.• It’s a new approach to the integration and use of

information to create Big Data.• Full view of information throughout asset

lifecycle• Will help bridge the information gap and lead to

more informed decision making

Construction History and Procurement of Goods and Services

• Neolithic Period• Romans• Egyptian• Mesopotamia• Ancient Greece• Medieval• Renaissance• 17th and 18th century• 19th Century - Industrial Revolution• 20th Century – 2nd Industrial Revolution• 21st Century – The Digital Revolution

Construction Industry Today• Has £90 billion gross value to the UK economy• 280,000 businesses • It accounts for 3million jobs• Wide and far reaching significance• Historically it has been a bellwether to the economy

Recent times• Was hit by Economic downturn

What do we Want?

Why Supply Chain Intelligence?• How well do you know your Supply Chain?• Can you easily see who is financially weak and

therefore more likely to have difficulty performing?• How prone is the supplier to natural disasters?• Monitored performance • Contract specification compliance• Health and Safety and Environmental record• Quality of finished product

Why Supply Chain Intelligence?

What role will Big Data play?

• What is big Data?

• What are the current perceptions?

• What are the benefits?

• Platform vs Silos – taking control

– Early trial silos will grow and become full production silos, so adopt a platform approach

– It’s good to let your business units run wild with new application ideas, but it will be costly to let them do so without guidance

– A failed trial could set back significantly your mobility strategy: you only have one chance to impress your end-users, get it right from the start!

Management

• How to ensure robust and cost-effective integration with legacy systems? rich SDK

– About 50% of a new enterprise mobile application’s code is related to the back end integration connector

– Poorly designed connectors are a major point of failure of the overall system

– The connector needs to support the current back-end configuration (and any subsequent upgrade that the back-end vendor will implement without letting you know!)

• Re-using existing code base: ready made apps vs custom developments

– Forget about “there is already an app for everything in public appstores”

– But don’t try to reinvent the wheel every time a new business request comes and spend 6 months building a new app from scratch

– Best of both worlds: ready-made enterprise app templates that can be easily customized to your needs

• Mobile Development Myths

• Developing a series of user cases to help drive efficiencies in time and cost into current processes both on site and in other areas of the business

• Identifying key user cases and develop these into working mobile applications for trial and release across the business

• Creating a full suite of apps to replace inefficient paper based and disjointed processes on site, whilst backing up data in a cloud based system

• Offering these apps to Costain employees and subcontractors in an corporate app store set up

Costain's experience deploying tablet-based solutions in the field.

Current Challenges

• Considerable amount of paperwork associated with site activities

• Engineers and supervisors – most time spent on site

• Inefficient time spent between site and office

• Long working days

• Health and Safety (S.H.E.), quality, asset management, quantity
