关于客户
Balfour Beatty 是一家总部位于英国的跨国基础设施集团,主要在英国和北美提供建筑和相关服务。该集团被称为一级主承包商,由 60 多家公司组成,包括 Living Places 等集团品牌,并与外部公司组成合资企业。自 2002 年以来,Balfour Beatty 一直致力于扩大整个集团的知识共享并改善项目协作。该集团的重大项目部门一直是这项工作的核心,其中包括招标、采购和项目协作系统的早期实施。
挑战
Balfour Beatty 是一家总部位于英国的跨国基础设施集团,在扩大 60 多家公司之间的知识共享和改善项目协作方面面临着挑战。该集团的重大项目部门处于这一努力的最前沿,其中包括尽早实施招标、采购和项目协作系统。该企业还寻求标准化其许多信息管理业务流程,包括开发整个集团一致的工作流程以及支持有效信息管理的人力资源策略。然而,过时的 Access 数据库被证明是实现这些目标的障碍。
解决方案
Balfour Beatty 采用了 BC Enterprise+,这是 GroupBC 的一个工具集,它为跨项目团队的“外联网”或文件共享功能提供了基础。事实证明,其底层关系数据库 (RDB) 架构为标准化和管理 Balfour Beatty 工作流程(超出通常的传输和提交流程)奠定了坚实的基础。该工具集取代了过时的 Access 数据库,用于支持信息/技术查询请求 (RFI/TQ)、七步不合格报告 (NCR) 流程、健康与安全、材料测试和批准、许可、检查等程序测试计划、“阻碍”、风险捕获、临时工程、劳动力和工厂分配捕获以及文件命名和编号均符合 BS1192:2007 / ISO 19650。GroupBC 的 ProcessPlan 还经过试用,用于检查 Balfour Beatty 铁路工厂管理中的程序合规性团队。

IoT System for Tunnel Construction
The Zenitaka Corporation ('Zenitaka') has two major business areas: its architectural business focuses on structures such as government buildings, office buildings, and commercial facilities, while its civil engineering business is targeted at structures such as tunnels, bridges and dams. Within these areas, there presented two issues that have always persisted in regard to the construction of mountain tunnels. These issues are 'improving safety" and "reducing energy consumption". Mountain tunnels construction requires a massive amount of electricity. This is because there are many kinds of electrical equipment being used day and night, including construction machinery, construction lighting, and ventilating fan. Despite this, the amount of power consumption is generally not tightly managed. In many cases, the exact amount of power consumption is only ascertained when the bill from the power company becomes available. Sometimes, corporations install demand-monitoring equipment to help curb the maximum power demanded. However, even in these cases, the devices only allow the total volume of power consumption to be ascertained, or they may issue warnings to prevent the contracted volume of power from being exceeded. In order to tackle the issue of reducing power consumption, it was first necessary to obtain an accurate breakdown of how much power was being used in each particular area. In other words, we needed to be able to visualize the amount of power being consumed. Safety, was also not being managed very rigorously. Even now, tunnel construction sites often use a 'name label' system for managing entry into the work site. Specifically, red labels with white reverse sides that bear the workers' names on both sides are displayed at the tunnel work site entrance. The workers themselves then flip the name label to the appropriate side when entering or exiting from the work site to indicate whether or not they are working inside the tunnel at any given time. If a worker forgets to flip his or her name label when entering or exiting from the tunnel, management cannot be performed effectively. In order to tackle the challenges mentioned above, Zenitaka decided to build a system that could improve the safety of tunnel construction as well as reduce the amount of power consumed. In other words, this new system would facilitate a clear picture of which workers were working in each location at the mountain tunnel construction site, as well as which processes were being carried out at those respective locations at any given time. The system would maintain the safety of all workers while also carefully controlling the electrical equipment to reduce unnecessary power consumption. Having decided on the concept, our next concern was whether there existed any kind of robust hardware that would not break down at the construction work site, that could move freely in response to changes in the working environment, and that could accurately detect workers and vehicles using radio frequency identification (RFID). Given that this system would involve many components that were new to Zenitaka, we decided to enlist the cooperation of E.I.Sol Co., Ltd. ('E.I.Sol') as our joint development partner, as they had provided us with a highly practical proposal.
