It would be too costly to be attractive to utilities companies and plant owners.
We cannot deal with them here.This project will shine a light on what is possible.. Further applications: the benefits to government and local plans.
The solutions may be different, but the principles we are exploring here have very positive ramifications for other areas.. Local/central government: the principle of making information interoperable and shareable, or policies more machine-readable and rules-based, while smoothing flow of information ‘before use’, is applicable in many areas: domestic planning, perhaps, where we could unblock permitted development and focus more on sustainable development; or major infrastructure projects where incompatible information systems breed wasted time and resources.. Local plans: are all based on evidence, which is all based on data.Data fixed in time is by definition out of date, while digitisation in the holistic context – as this project is demonstrating – gives us the opportunity to keep data and evidence current, informing and improving engagement and decision-making.. Next steps: collaboration to foster continuous improvement.There are others operating in this space.
This project has the potential to enable effective and creative collaboration between all of them, providing the shared basis on which other projects can connect, operate and develop.Involving more people and projects to test the process and demonstrate value would also be a good thing..
Given the potential scale of this project and its broader applications, we would seek to connect with MHCLG, both in terms of technical development, and to benefit from their convening power..
The more connections we enable, the stronger those connections become and the more benefits arise from them.To address these issues and to connect robotic technology to Bryden Wood’s ‘Platform Approach’ to Design for Manufacture and Assembly (P-DfMA), our Creative Technologies team has developed F.R.A.C.
– a Framework for Robotics and Automated Construction.. F.R.A.C.provides an open, extensible and collaborative platform that enables all designers – not only specialists – to engage with robotic technologies and to embed digital manufacture workflows into their everyday design activities.. F.R.A.C.
is an easy to use digital workflow that connects industry standard design software to robotic technology tools, using custom apps to provide:.XR environments for design and process interaction.
