ENG233 Internet of Things Assignment, SUSS, Singapore: Define at least FOUR (04) operational challenges while operating and managing earth-moving

Question 1

Define at least FOUR (04) operational challenges while operating and managing earth-moving equipment at a construction site that the SBC digitalization team shall address (an as-is situation, in the absence of SAMS). Estimate the impact of those problems on sustainability goals (SDGs). Propose a prioritization matrix/rubric to rank identified problems from high to low in priority of importance. (Provide a table with quantitative and qualitative reasons, a prioritization rubric, and a description.)

Question 2

Plan and describe the improved operational workflow of managing earth-moving equipment to reduce operational waste. Propose the SDGs that can be achieved by addressing those wastes and map them against the corresponding SDG#. (Provide a workflow diagram, map SDGs on workflow, and description.)

Question 3

Recommend the potential technologies for each of the four stages of the SAMS. (Provide a table with quantitative and qualitative reasons and a description.)
(i) Type of relevant data to be sensed and how.
(ii) Connectivity & communication protocols to transfer the data to the next stages.
(iii) Computing infrastructure, data analytics layer to manage and analyze the data.
(iv) Applications to analyze and visualize the data.

Question 4

Design the integrated FOUR (04) stages end-to-end solution using technologies recommended in Question 3 to address the problems identified in Question 1 and improve workflow in Question 2. Recommend a scalable solution to address the multiple construction sites. (Provide a solution diagram and a description.)

Question 5

Appraise any TWO (02) cyber security challenges that you may need to address in your proposed SAMS. Appraise their risks and discuss the steps to be taken in order to mitigate those risks in the proposed SAMS. (Provide a table and a description.)

Question 6

Verify the benefits of the proposed IoT solution by outlining how the SBC operations team can leverage the data and intelligence generated by the proposed IoT solution to improve their operations in new ways. (Provide a description.)

Question 7

Propose a Return of Investment matrix “cost-based” for the proposed SAMS. Provide a table and a description. List TWO (02) criteria. (Provide a table with quantitative reasons.)

Question 8

Propose a Return of Investment matrix “value-based” for the proposed SAMS. Provide a table and a description. List TWO (02) criteria. (Provide a table with quantitative reasons.)
