#FiaComit - Modularisation: beyond the bits
1 like814 views
The document discusses the concept of modularization in construction, focusing on efficiency through digital projects presented during a conference in London. It outlines various modular components and methodologies such as Design for Manufacture and Assembly (DfMA), digital engineering, and the importance of standards in enhancing innovation. Additionally, it emphasizes the benefits of standardization, technology adoption, and integration in improving construction processes and outcomes.

Editor's Notes
- #56: OBJECTIVE Detect abnormalities in motor operation based on current and voltage monitoring and link them to likely electrical and mechanical causes. Estimated saving from planned rather than reactive maintenance: 125 days construction downtime per year. PROGRESS Monitoring device installed on two cranes in St Neots. Diagnostics suggest motor problems (unbalanced loads, looseness of bearing, cracking in rotor) and identify power overload as a cause of two motor fires in the year preceding trials – likely to occur again in the next 6 months. NEXT STEPS Repeated diagnostics to identify trends in the results (failure timescales prediction) Business case for deployment across Select’s cranes Assess suitability for other applications (EIP Pumps, Plantroom)
- #58: On 03 April we stopped the weekly ROR-EEG meetings, there has been much less opportunity to share what we’re doing on day to day, to deliver the UBO on individual projects We will describe our activities and thinking on a sampling of our current project delivery activities When we met you in May we heard the message; be impactful, think completely, deliver results not only progress steps Deliver revenue, increase profitability Develop technical innovation the Business can readily commercialise, own it through to implementation We will describe how we are mapping products to projects – forecasting revenue potential We will describe E6 family product pricing drive towards market comparability and internal validation We met you individually, listened to your guidance, aggregated that guidance among all the EEG Ds, to deliver to our opportunity, as a team, a whole greater than the sum of the parts. The key goals for this fiscal year are Prioritise the priorities Organise yourselves for the next wave, (HS”, Hinkley, Anglo, others) Formalise how we work with our Design Partners, develop a storeyboard how we intend to do this Time management – ration people’s time to make it more effective, elasticate availability of our EEG people We are preparing to respond to these priorities during our Oct 2014 semi-annual meeting, however can discuss today our thinking thus far.
- #64: Then there was then an unrelated series of technology changes enabling highly accurate plastic injection moulding. A Dane invented an interface standard that remain unchanged to this day.
