Project name: Heterogeneous Real-Time Data Capture
Project manager: Sharika Fernando
Project aim: To integrate a real-time data capture solution into heterogeneous environment.
Project description: Collecting data automatically in real-time is critical for project management of large construction projects and complex programmes. Unfortunately there are a multitude of different access systems (turnstiles with readers, swipe cards, mobile biometric devices etc.) and little in the way of standards for extracting data centrally. The project would focus on a heterogeneous environment (e.g. a consortium or mixed projects) and the outcome would be to accurately capture and bring back to a central database in real time, the required data necessary. It would need to be practical given the nature of sites coming up and down.
Business case: Project Management.
Ties / Dependencies / Overlaps: None.
Proposed funding mechanism: Supplier to provide kit, proposed software and human resources.
Status of Project: Proposal
Project deliverables and timescales: TBA
Project sponsors: Simeio
Estimated resources required: TBA
