o NC (Non-Conformity)

PCQ - SAM - VIR with Native ACC Forms

ACC Forms – Native Forms

The use of ACC-Build editor to create

forms, sometimes requires a

re-engineering process to fit different

features of existing forms in the

shape of sections & checklists

Non-Conformity with Smart PDF Approach

ACC Forms – Smart PDF

Some current forms

are very complex (for contents and workflows).

Additionally, they are already agreed in the

Contracts. In such cases we decided to import the

forms as "smart PDF"

Create Reports / Dashboards Final documentation and monitoring

 Reports:

o PDF

o Excel

 Dashboard

o Data Connector

o Power BI

PDF format

Reports A good quality of PDF printouts can be easily obtained

...even if this make the process less digital

Reports

Full set of data are always available via Excel export

RA IL SUMMI T 20 24

‘Native forms’ vs smart PDF forms

 If ‘native forms’ (i.e. using template fully generated with ACC editor) are used:

o a full digital process is allowed

o Integrated Power BI dashboarding works very well.

o dashboards can be fed by scheduled reports (section Reports of Build).

o dashboards can be configured starting from the available templates.

 If ‘smart PDF’ are used:

o in ACC integrated reports will appear only the data relevant to the status of the form and to the ‘form details’ (form name, location, references etc.)

o the data of the PDF can be exported in Excel only with a dedicated export

o dashboards can be in any case integrated into ‘Insight’ section of ACC Docs

Extraction of data from Forms

RA IL SUMMI T 20 24

Reports as PDF and Excel will

compose the Digital Dossier

that can be downloaded or

digitally shared to the Client.

Power BI Dashboard

Reports

ACC Insight Dashboards

can be used to monitor Quality Checks during the Construction phase

progress.

Dashboards will be

helpful to manage Progress Status Report and manage/request

payments.​

Conclusion Activity results and final considerations

 ACC BUILD is a flexible set of tools to manage Checks during the construction phase

 The use of internal editor to produce forms requires a certain re-engineering of complex

existing forms, but supports a full deployment of ACC BUILD potentialities

 ACC assets and locations give the topological framework allowing to connect what you

do on site with powerful graphical representations (models & dashboards)

 ACC Report Dashboards give powerful representations of

activities performed

 A way to digital, paperless QC process has been identified

Time savings estimation - QC days spent to control a single viaduct

Value measurement

Availability of digital data also brings improvements in the overall project management process

supporting progress measure and cost claiming

estimated saving of around 30%

Hypothesis:

Reducing time by 10% for each

control (compilation, correction,

etc.)

Next Steps How proceed our journey?

 Continue the step-by-step deployment of ACC Forms in current projects

 Develop methods to automate change Asset Status starting from inspection

results as registered via Forms

 Improve Form Templates in conjunction with Client to set-up a contractual

framework with a "positive attitude" towards digitalization

 Improve Dashboards aligned to real project feedback

 Investigate AI to create Final Dossier including all report in defined order
