Outside Plant Field Data Collection, Modeling and Engineering Services
Field Data Collection, Modeling, Engineering, Permitting, CAD and Secure Portal Access
Global Blue DVBE Inc., offers a proprietary platform; that has revolutionized the acquisition, processing and cloud-based availability of digital information for a wide variety of applications including field data collections, engineering, modeling, mapping, architectural, personnel and asset tracking.
We provide efficient, cost effective methods to:
- Document existing utility company infrastructure
- Document pole data with all attachments
- Document changes and modifications over the life of infrastructure and assets
- Post the resulting documentation and data in a secure, centralized, customized, collaborative, cloud-based portal that can be accessed anywhere in the world by anyone with permission.
- Integrate necessary tools to manage the information including CAD, Pole Loading, intelligent building information modeling (BIM), detailed renderings, animation, models, maps and high-resolution geo-based photographs.
Our technology is endorsed and effectively used by communication providers, power companies, hospitals, clinics, educational campuses, government buildings, commercial buildings, residential housing districts, industrial facilities, and developers.
Global Blue Technology
Global Blue has developed proprietary hardware, software, workflow and portal technologies that;
- Simplifies and reduces field time
- Increases accuracy
- Improves efficiency and capacity
- Reduces processing time
- Reduces costs
- Provides the end-user with an easy-to-use and reliable working and collaboration platform that is tailored to meet the most demanding needs
Collectively, the following Global Blue core technologies provide a platform to support our internet based, software-as-a-service (SAAS) engineering offering:
- Empowering field work (AcuCapture technology)
- Data transfer and quality assurance (AcuTransfer technology)
- Processing captured and transferred work (AcuModeler and AcuManager technology)
- Posting customer data (AcuPortal technology)
Global Blue AcuCapture Field Device (2nd Generation)
Proprietary physical field devices to photo-grammatically/geometrically survey and quality assure data on buildings, infrastructure, objects/assets.
Global Blue AcuCapture Field Device (2nd Generation)
Global Blue AcuModeler
AcuModeler is the workflow, algorithms and software that employ photogrammetric proprietary processes to accurately model the data collected then transmitted from the field. These processes index the file high-res photographs, provide secondary quality assurance, produce 3D/2D models and renderings. Once processed this data is indexed according to the customers’ requirements then placed in a secure primary relational database. The resulting data is integrated into a wide range of user defined environments including CAD, Building Information Modeling (BIM), OCalc, SpidaCalc and customer specific programs.
Global Blue AcuManager
Provides the platform for capture and processing workflow and the real-time production management of field personnel.
Global Blue CBIT (Cloud Based Integration Technology)
CBIT is employed to integrate the data that we collect and process with our customer’s unique software systems, applications and workflows.
Global Blue AcuPortal
AcuPortal is a secure cloud-based customer-specific, high accessibility, portal that manages all photographs, attributes, 3D-models, renderings, CAD, BIM with other necessary information and programs. Via the AcuPortal, planners, engineers, developers, contractors, government officials, first responders can view information, collaborate and respond.
The Global Blue AcuCapture photogrammetry-based device is significantly less expensive than other equipment including LiDAR based solutions or Ike/GPS. Our automated capture process allows a field engineer with far less training to capture assets. Furthermore, Global Blue AcuModeler/AcuManager enables Global Blue to process the geo-based photographs into 3D Models and seamlessly integrate into a variety of platforms including CAD, intelligent building information modeling (BIM), detailed renderings, animation, Pole loading and complex models. Once the information has been processed it is incorporated into customer specified applications and made available to users via Global Blue’s AcuPortal.
Global Blue Process
Outside Plant Engineering Services
The output from AcuPortal with the baseline CAD drawing enables the OSP engineer to begin the design processes. Because the output is an active CAD file the engineer can finalize the fiber design in the same file by updating the active working version. All access to the working file is stored in AcuPortal. Each team member has two factor authentication to access the file.
AcuPortal as the repository enables multiple team members to access and update a CAD file. Due to the security protocols, we audit all access via user ID and password. Once the final design is completed the permitting process can begin by applying the local city’s requirements for other utilities, measurements, bore or direct bury applications, etc. for the new fiber optic cable within a distribution area.
Flexibility of Our Tools
The flexibility of our tools enables Global Blue to deliver a custom solution for our clients. Some clients require end to end services where Global Blue provides Field Data Collection, Modeling, Portal Repository, Fiberoptic Layout and Design, Permitting, Traffic Studies, Equipment List Detail/Cut Sheets.
Other clients only want the field data collection, while others only want engineering services. Global Blue can mix and match the services for each clients individual needs.
Large, Multiphase Project Applications including Smart Cities
Large, multiphase projects can effectively employ Global Blue technology to help manage the vast amount of technical and transactional information including planning, construction verification, progress documentation and life-cycle management.
Broad Multidisciplinary Expertise and Capability
Global Blue staff, direct management, extended management and partners have expertise in engineering, architecture, project management, document management, large-scale data and object management platforms, programming, telecommunications (5G / WiFi6), IoT, Data Analytics, cyber-risk management/information security, Machine Learning, AI, Analytics, SaaS, XaaS, city sensor integration, 3D Map interaction, people tracking, environmental monitoring/control systems, Blockchain integration and Telehealth/Smart Health.
