Hybrid QT system for visualisation of buried utility assets (Qvision)

Qvision是一项可行性研究，旨在调查将量子技术重力传感器与OXEMS集成解决方案相结合的市场潜力，从而使公用事业客户能够快速访问和可视化其网络的更大比例，同时保留OXEMS解决方案的许多独特优势。从以前的研究中得到的有希望的结果表明，QT重力传感器比经典重力传感器表现出的技术优势。预计QT重力传感器将克服当前OXEMS系统推出速度的固有问题（该系统依赖于物理标签部署）。OXEMS开发了一种独特的集成解决方案，提供埋藏资产的虚拟化，前提是这些资产已被定位并标记有公司的独特标签。然而，公用事业公司目前每年仅暴露其网络的约1%，限制了OXEMS等公司标记资产并扩展基于云的地下资产数字化。因此，标记整个网络将需要100多年的时间。虽然OXEMS的产品专注于将标签贴在埋地管道上，但其产品范围包括公用事业客户的网络可视化以及一些资产属性。因此，拟议的研究是OXEMS和UoB之间的合作项目，旨在调查将QT重力传感器的信息添加到OXEMS集成解决方案的可行性，从而使公用事业客户能够访问和可视化其网络的更大比例，包括迄今为止尚未标记的部分，以在其网络中部署单一解决方案。如果成功，这种集成将增加QT重力数据的价值，增加公用事业行业的吸收，并加速OXEMS集成系统的推出。为了实现这一目标，我们将：1）调查来自QT重力传感器的数据在地下资产管理市场中的使用和质量（它是否足够准确和精确以进行可视化？）; 2)将这些数据与关于标记资产的现有数据进行比较，以了解其在市场上的使用程度，并找出任何差距（是否可用于帮助实现总体市场目标？）; 3)创建基于软件的演示，向客户说明重力传感器将带来的好处（可能是当前OXEMS应用程序和数据库的增强版本）; 4）与客户一起调查未来在街道工程中部署QT重力传感器的可行性，并为此类部署开发商业模型; 5）将重力传感器数据输出与传统探地雷达进行比较; 6）调查重力传感器和产生的数据如何与现有的资产管理数据集成; 7）创建部署与OXEMS标签集成的QT重力传感器的完整市场预测，包括全球部署对英国经济的影响。

Qvision is a feasibility study to investigate the market potential of incorporating Quantum Technology gravitational sensors with OXEMS' integrated solution, thus enabling utility customers to access and visualise a significantly larger proportions of their network rapidly whilst retaining many of the unique advantages of the OXEMS solution. Promising results from previous studies indicate technical superiority exhibited by QT gravity sensor over classical gravitational sensors. It is expected that QT gravitational sensors would overcome the inherent issue of speed of rollout of the current OXEMS system (which relies upon physical tag deployment).OXEMS has developed a unique integrated solution offering virtualization of buried assets provided they have been located and tagged with the company's unique tags. However, utilities currently only expose ~1% of their networks annually, limiting companies like OXEMS to tag assets and extend the cloud-based digitization of underground assets. Thus, it will take over 100 years to tag an entire network. Although OXEMS' product focuses on attaching tags to buried pipelines, its product range includes the visualisation of the network for their utility customers together with some asset properties. Therefore, the proposed study is a collaborative venture between OXEMS, and the UoB to investigate the feasibility of adding information from QT gravitational sensors to OXEMS' integrated solution, thus enabling utility customers to access and visualize a significantly larger proportion of their network, including in particular parts not tagged so far, to deploy a single solution across their networks. If successful this integration will add value to QT gravity data, increase the uptake by the utility industry and accelerate the roll-out of OXEMS' integrated system. To achieve this, we will:1) Investigate the use and quality of data sourced from QT gravity sensors in the underground asset management market (is it accurate and precise enough for visualisation?); 2) Compare this data with existing data on tagged assets to understand the extent it can be used in the market and to identify any gaps (can it be used to help overall market objectives?); 3) Create a software based demonstration to illustrate to clients the benefits gravitation sensors would deliver (likely to be an enhanced version of the current OXEMS app and database); 4) Investigate with clients the viability of deploying QT gravity sensors in street works in the future and develop a commercial model for such deployment; 5) Comparison of gravity sensor data output with traditional Ground Penetrating Radar; 6) Investigate how gravity sensors and data produced would be integrated with existing asset management data; 7) Create a full market forecast of deploying QT gravity sensors integrated with OXEMS tags including the impact of global deployment on the UK economy.
