No matter how detailed or how explicit you are with information, data and rules there will be some critical implicit knowledge input that is constantly required to deliver success.
We have seen clients who already have Reference Designs (also called template designs).However, with no rules for how to adapt this Reference Design to local sites, the delivery teams can end up unravelling it and are back with new designs..
Many, if not most clients, need designs that can respond to unique sites and needs e.g.for a healthcare facility the design needs to be flexible to accommodate specific clinical specialisms and the demographics of a particular region..So how can a Reference Design both standardise a design, yet leave enough flexibility to adapt it to any given brief?.
Designing flexible Reference Designs.In Reference Design, we create a core design of the most common of our clients’ facility type using a process of rationalisation, optimisation and standardisation.
At the same time, we attach a planned strategy for increasing or decreasing scale and content and how to flex to suit local conditions e.g.
scale up or down to hit a particular brief.LoRaWAN is a long-range, wide-area network on a different frequency band to WiFi.
As a result, it doesn’t compete with cell phones and other devices connected via WiFi on construction sites.As LoRaWAN is very long-range, it enables construction sites to be quite remote, representing great potential for Australia where it’s not unusual to travel five to ten hours to a site.
Europe is already covered in LoRaWAN with something like 10,000 gateways across Europe, over 1,000 in Australia, and around 800 in the U.S. One barrier which presents for the latter, is that their cellular network, which runs across states, makes it difficult to talk between networks.As such, we need to remove that network issue from IoT construction.
