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

Problem Definition: (15 marks)
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 (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 description.)
(15 marks)

Workflow Design (15 marks)
Question 2
Plan and describe the improved operational workflow of managing earth moving equipment to reduce the operational wastes. 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.)
(15 marks)

IoT Solution Design (40 marks)
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 analyse the data.
(iv) Applications to analyse and visualise 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 improved workflow in Question 2. Recommend a scalable solution to address the multiple construction sites. (Provide a solution diagram and a description.)
(15 marks)

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.)
(10 marks)

Business Model Re-Design (30 marks)
Question 6
Verify the benefits of the proposed IoT solution by outlining how SBC operations team can leverage on the data and intelligence generated by the proposed IoT solution to improve their operations in new ways. (Provide a description.)
(10 marks)

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.)
(10 marks)

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.)
