CIPPS (Critical Infrastructure Pipeline Protection System)

CIPPS是一种革命性的新型管道保护系统。在第一代，它将瞄准石油运输管道。它采用了一种保密技术，旨在检测第三方干扰或任何外部对管道的损坏。它将能够以比现有产品更高的精度做到这一点，即具有极其精确的定位服务（精确到最近的厘米），并且能够准确地检测损坏的大小和性质。这个项目的目的是作为市场的证明。因此，其范围与SMART资助标准高度一致。为了实现公司的愿景，我们制定了以下目标，SMART基金将帮助实现这些目标。与供应商和制造商合作，确定产品的技术可行性。审查和修改设计，以确保其在技术上是可行的，以适当的数量在未来的生产。在这个项目的范围内，将产生一份正式的规格表。与潜在买家联系并建立工作关系，以确定技术规格是否能满足他们的潜在需求。在技术限制的情况下，根据对产品潜在买家的反馈对设计进行修改。根据目标1、2、3、4提交核心专利申请，最高金额为5000英镑。基于利益相关者参与技术和对产品的技术分析，产生以下可交付成果：使用APM方法的项目管理计划，描述如何在SMARTfunding结束后进一步发展CIPPS（或者如果市场没有得到证实，如何圆满结束项目）；TSB在中途阶段的中期报告；并向运输安全委员会提交最终报告。该项目的总成本为45,000英镑，其中25,000英镑将由TSB提供。

CIPPS is a revolutionary new pipeline protection system. In its first generation, it will beaimed at oil transportation pipelines. Using a confidential technology it is designed to detectthird party interference or any external damage to the pipeline. It will be able to do this withconsiderably more accuracy than existing products, i.e. with extremely precise locationalservices (accurate to the nearest centimetre) and will be able to detect accurately the size andnature of the damage.The purpose of this project is to serve as a proof of market. Therefore its scope has beentightly aligned to meet SMART funding criteria. To enable the vision of the company to berealised, the following objectives have been created which SMART funding will help achieve.1. To work with suppliers and manufacturers to determine the technical feasibility of theproduct.2. To review and alter the design as appropriate to ensure it is technically feasible tomanufacture in appropriate quantities in the future. A formal specification sheet will beproduced wihin the scope of this project.3. To contact and establish working relationships with potential buyers to establish whetherthe technical specifications can meet their prospective needs.4. To alter the design within technical constraints based upon feedback with prospectivebuyersof the product.5. To submit core patent filings as appropriate based on objectives 1,2,3,4 up to a maximumvalue of £5,000.6.. Based upon stakeholder engagement techniques and a technical analysis of the product, toproduce the following deliverables: A Project Management Plan using APM methodologywhich describes how CIPPS is to be developed further upon conclusion of the SMARTfunding (or if market is not proven, how project will be satisfactorily wound up); an interimreport at the half-way stage for the TSB; and a final report to the TSB.Total costs of this project are £45,000 of which £25,000 will be provided by the TSB.
