Solution – NDL SX

Found it from work with councils in planning and highways

– Read & Write to any system

– Non invasive

– Workforce automation robotics engine

– Transaction queuing and management

Balfour Beatty Wrapper / Front-End for Staff

Implementation

Started with Gas and Water

Implemented a dev and test

environment on windows servers

Fully Virtualised Environment

Developed Balfour Beatty portal

Implemented queuing

Developed scripts for the NDL

robot to drive the common systems

– Replace the human operator

– Work the way they work

– Work at the speed they work

Implementation Challenges

Target Systems do change

– 1st and 2nd line support

– .Net Developers - Rarely needed

– ITIL Change Management processes

Care to be a ‘well behaved user’

Back office availability

– Queue

Now asynchronous queuing / load balancing

Eastings and Northings entered once

No more manual intervention

25 – 30 minutes saved per job

Now have a bulk import option

– Plan tasks – direct

Full Audit Trail

The results

55 target systems

8000 jobs

120,000 maps

The results

Maps delivered consistently and to scale

Jobs are planned more easily

Crews are better informed and safer

Moved from just Gas & Water to Power

Transmission

Future wider use across Balfour Beatty

COMPUTER SAYS NO?

Wider implications

B.I.M.

– Interact with sub contractor systems

– Bulk Data Migration into/out of BIM

Automate the supply chain / network

Take data from the field

Get it to the right place
