What is FIATECH? • • FIATECH Conceived by CII, NIST as breakthrough opportunity Modeled after highly successful National Center for Manufacturing Sciences Established by CII during 1999/2000 Research, Development, and Deployment Industry-led, collaborative, not-for-profit cooperative research corporation Will seek leveraged funding Full time staff develop funding & manage projects

CII Role in Founding FIATECH • Industry catalyst to launch consortium – broad owner/contractor/supplier participation – critical early seed money – IPR, liability, anti-trust protection through UT • • FIATECH Direction, guidance, leadership establishing FIATECH’s underlying principles Ongoing leadership support through FIATECH governing board

Founding Principles • • • FIATECH Industry Integration – coalesce industry consensus on FIAPP Collaboration – focus on FIAPP items of common interest Competition – individual application and adaptation of RD&D Intellectual Property – differential IP, access for all FIATECH members Leveraged Funding – key financing strategy for projects Anti-Trust Protection – Provided by University of Texas

Progress to Date Structuring FIATECH Building FIATECH • • • • FIATECH Established Launch Team Established BOD and role Developed Vision & Mission Defined operating model Developed draft charter, by-laws Developed Managing Director position description Developed dues structure Developed detailed Timeline Developed new brochure Story and advertisement in ENR Recruited OOF into FIATECH Membership Development Plan Develop FIATECH presentation Recruited over 30 members Selected Managing Director

Managing Director Criteria • • • Known and respected in industry Experience in development of large capital projects • Knowledge of relevant USG agencies involved in construction R&D FIATECH Vision and high energy Strong selling and customer interactions skills Ability to exploit IT and other advanced technologies Experience running a significant enterprise or program

Ric Jackson • Director of Manufacturing Engineering Laboratory at National Institute of Standards and Technology – Provided measurements, standards, and advanced technology to US manufacturing industry – Performed collaborative R&D in enterprise integration and flexible automation • • FIATECH Well-known in public and private sector manufacturing community Frequent keynote speaker on advanced manufacturing, especially information-based manufacturing

Vision and Path Forward Ric Jackson Managing Director The FIATECH Consortium FIATECH Construction Industry Institute 2000 Annual Conference Nashville, Tennessee August 9, 2000

FIATECH Vision Owners, operators, contractors, and suppliers working together to accelerate the realization of Fully Integrated and Automated Project Processes for major capital facilities Accelerating and realizing the full promise FIAPP!

Fully Integrated & Automated Project Processes • • Seamless integration of information flow among all participants throughout entire project life cycle Application of latest available proven technologies: – – – – • FIATECH CAD and CAE Advanced communications Field sensing and tracking Modularization Pre-construction Field automation Construction automation Breakthrough improvements in quality, schedule, cost, resulting in improved ROI FIATECH makes FIAPP happen !

Roadblocks to Achieving the Promise of FIAPP • • • FIATECH Highly fragmented industry – No common vision for FIAPP – No roadmap to achieve that vision – No common industry voice to lead development – Anti-trust and intellectual property issues Low research and development budgets – Costs too high for any one company Lack of common protocols and standards Each company is trying to do FIAPP independently!

FIATECH will. . . • Document industry needs and priorities • Develop common industry vision for FIAPP • Develop roadmaps to achieve FIAPP vision • • Develop projects to follow the roadmap Obtain leverage funding to accelerate progress. . . make FIAPP a reality for the construction industry! FIATECH

Funding Opportunities • • FIATECH Cooperative R&D agreements National Science Foundation Advanced Technology Program Sloan Construction Program/UT Austin National Institutes of Safety & Health U. S. Congress Others

Funding Facts • U. S. Government spends $500 M/yr on construction-related R&D – Many are FIAPP-related projects – Same interests as commercial industry • Owners, contractors, suppliers, IT companies spend millions also – Technologies for major capital facilities construction, operation, & maintenance FIATECH

FIATECH Objectives • • FIATECH 30 -40% reduction in cost & schedule Reduced design changes and rework – concurrent engineering – supply chain management Rapid detection & correction of differences between design intent & construction Highly accurate "as-built" information for O&M and renovation

Early Deliverables • • Interoperability protocols and software Effective deployment of existing IT technologies Field “as is” measurement systems IT applications adapted from manufacturing Virtual FIAPP test bed Simulation tools Economic assessment tools Focus on exploiting existing technologies. FIATECH

Membership in FIATECH Open to owners, operators, contractors, suppliers and others committed to achieving FIAPP and seamless integration of facilities to improve enterprise performance. FIATECH

FIATECH Organization Board of Directors Strategic Focus Area #1 Strategic Focus Area #2 Strategic Focus Area #3 Project A Project C Project E Project B Project D Project F FIATECH is an industry-driven organization! FIATECH

Strategic Focus Areas • Led by elected Boards to develop – high level goals and objectives – strategy for accomplishing them – sponsorship of projects • Hold workshops to develop projects SFAs are essential operating units of FIATECH! FIATECH

Interested Parties Workshops: purpose • • • FIATECH Focus on member needs Develop strategies for meeting them Coalesce project teams Develop scope and funding strategies Identify project member responsibilities

Interested Parties Workshops: operation • • • FIATECH Generally open Three each year Plenary/overview sessions Topical working sessions Culminate in committed project teams

Initial FIATECH Projects • • • FIATECH Interoperability Protocols and Software Field “as is” Measurement Systems Virtual FIAPP Testbed Facility Simulation Tools Geo-Spatial Maintenance

• • Interoperability Protocols and Software Integration of software for facility design, construction, operation & maintenance Product, project and process data exchange standards for – – – FIATECH equipment design plant construction plant modification maintenance replacement

The Owner-Operator Forum, a FIATECH SFA • Life Cycle Data Management Project – Initiated early in 1999 • “defining business drivers and requirements for software related to plant life cycle” – Awareness, requirements, sustain change – Program management: Trinity Technologies – Four workshops in 2000 An excellent first project for FIATECH! And we’re glad to have the OOF on board. FIATECH

Field Measurement Systems • Cost-effective technologies for collecting, compiling, maintaining “as is” field data – Advanced sensing and scanning tools – Wireless technologies – Interoperability protocols – Visualization software – Analysis software FIATECH Courtesy: NIST Building and Fire Research Laboratory

FIAPP Testbed • Low risk environment to test and demonstrate – new technologies like virtual reality – software tools and best practices • • FIATECH Address IT integration in project processes NIST “Cybernetic Building Systems” Project – integrates • smart sensors • control systems • computer software – optimizes • operation • maintenance • emergency response

Facility Simulation Tools • Interactive tools for understanding – new operational procedures – technology impacts – performance analysis • Plant & facility – operation – modification – change requirements FIATECH Courtesy: Burns & Roe

Geo-Spatial Maintenance • Technical and economic feasibility of 3 D monitoring facility condition data – Use completed facility sub-system information – Draw on baseline equipment condition data from commissioning activities – Monitor building envelope internal systems for reliability, operability, and interdependability – Determine economic/technical feasibility FIATECH
