In this context, the asset management function plays a key role in optimizing the return on infrastructure usage, and at the same time guaranteeing adequate levels of service. With a view to an effective and efficient management of investments to be made in a rational and sustained way under technical-scientific criteria, implementing a systematic inspection program was considered as the best approach strategy. The main purpose of the inspection program is to obtain, in a systematic, coherent and comparable way, relevant information to support decision making, in particular for supporting intervention priorities and identification along with asset maintenance requirements, whether preventive or curative. This methodology is revealed as a key tool in the management of risk of failure associated with the management and operation of EPAL＇s building infrastructure.展开更多

According to our case study industry, such industry currently used traditional network systems such as LAN, and ＂Bus Network＂ Network Topology. Client/Server distributed computing has a problem with database management in data redundancy, data inconsistency, and data independency. For Network Topology, Bus Network has problem with multitasking since the network are able to handle only a set of data at a time so the traffic problem will occur when multiple users request for the service. Thus, such condition is inconsistent with concurrent engineering which must be able to access the data simultaneously. As a consequence, this study develops a network system, network system of working system, using LAN and ＂Star Network＂ network topology. The file server processing distributed is an application while database is stored in host computer or file server but the data will be processed in users＇ computer. When the user needs to access the data, file server will send it to the user and the user can further analysis or manage such data in the user computer, so called ＂Hierarchical Database Model＂. Hierarchical database structure is easily developed like general organization command structure with different level of responsibility. In details, the data level in the database is divided into three levels including DBI, DB2, and DB3, so development of simultaneously systemic flow and access of various critical data is performed in parallel. Furthermore, this is consistent with access of all three data levels including： Level 1 is overall dataflow of both inside and outside the organization; Level 2 is dataflow of each division in the organization; and Level 3 is dataflow of subunit in each division in the organization. After systemize flow and access of data with concurrent engineering as mentioned, it provided optimal efficiency in the whole production system management reducing loss in the whole system of the organization展开更多

It consists of web geospatial application so-called HydrlS （ Hydrogeological Information System） based on Open Source components and technologies, leading to a feasible and low-cost solution. Therefore, HydrlS permits delivery of data from a number of heterogeneous sources to standards supported by the Open Geospatial Consortium （OGC）. The protocols used for exchanging data are also derived from OGC standards, i.e., WMS （Web Mapping Service）, WFS （Web Feature Service）, and WCS （Web Coverage Service）. Finally, a geoportal was developed, which consists of client-applications that communicate with different Web Services （WMS, WCS, and WFS） through HTTP-requests. A prototype for web-based GIS application was designed using the deegree Framework to provide systematic interfaces and functions. This system was developed to demonstrate the value of making hydrogeological data more widely accessible through client/server architecture. This experience and knowledge already gained in this project will be a source for technology transfer and policy decisions. Otherwise, this will enable user groups to improve the management of their groundwater resources and contribute to enhanced decision support capabilities.展开更多
