Delivering Critical Asset Management Functions
The XA© asset management platform is built around a UKPMS accredited and PAS 2161 compliant system providing comprehensive functionality for managing infrastructure asset and condition data. XA© provides a royalty-free, fully integrated GIS and mapping system that enables easy visualisation of all asset and condition data within the client’s infrastructure network. Not only does this include main carriageways, footways, and cycle routes, but also bridges, signs, lining, lighting, and many other infrastructure assets.
After a condition survey is completed, clients can use the core system to load, analyse, and report on all their asset condition data. It also assists in producing full Forward Works Programme (FWP) plans for each asset based on the maintenance hierarchy outlined in the Well Managed Highway Infrastructure: A Code of Practice.
Key Features
The XA© core system supports the import and export of all the most common data formats and includes a highly configurable user-defined reporting module. Key system features include:
- UKPMS accredited
- Map-based visualisation of all data & assets
- Summary dashboards
- Service level monitoring
- Performance indicator reporting
- Configurable treatment selection rules
- Hotspot (scheme) identification & prioritisation
- Condition projections
- Lifecycle planning & modelling (Forward Works Programme)
- WGA asset valuation (DRC / GRC)
- Value management
- Economic analysis
- Flexible user-definable reporting
- Cost analysis & budgeting
Advanced Software Solutions
Our software supports all stages of the asset data lifecycle so clients can extract the maximum value from their data – from identifying data with a real purpose in assisting asset management and decision-making, to effective cost management and data utilisation capabilities.
User Dashboards
Dashboards can be configured so that all necessary information is available for the managers and members to view and manage – helping them to understand how their assets are performing and where to prioritise focus.
Data Loading & Validation
Pre-configured data loading and validation capabilities within XA© deliver exceptional error trapping, ensuring loaded data is correct and fit for purpose so clients can drive efficiencies across their organisation.
Data Analysis & Utilisation
XA© adds tremendous value via its analysis modules, enabling users to identify scheme locations, treatment types, and costs, as well as produce condition projections, Forward Works Programme (FWP) plans, economic priorities, whole life costings, and more.
Our core system focuses on 5 key areas:
- Network Management Services
- Asset Data Management
- Inspection & Condition Data Management
- Decision Support Analysis
- Value Management
Network Management Services
Network Management is critical to effective asset management. Within XA© management of infrastructure networks is delivered through several software features including:
- Network visualisations
- Network browsing & search
- Network & section updates
- Spatial importing
- Spatial editing
- Section dashboards
- Document storage
Our team comprises experienced GIS consultants and technicians with local authority network management backgrounds. This combination of skills brings an important understanding of the benefits of a well-managed 'fit for purpose' network.
Our network management services range from full network management resource support, including the provision of PMS and Gazetteer software solutions, to specific network quality reviews, associated hierarchy reviews and other bespoke network reviews. Through the XA© Core System, a comprehensive approach to network management is provided.
Asset Data Management
Infrastructure Asset Lifecycle Management
It can often be a challenge for local government organisations and agencies to manage their whole infrastructure network data – especially in a way that makes it easier for all involved parties to understand the information they need to ensure projects and schemes can progress. From data collection, management, integration, and analysis, the process must be made more simple, efficient, and reliable. That’s why XAIS-PTS has developed XA©, a single platform for managing both asset and condition data across the entire infrastructure asset lifecycle.
Our asset data management support team are highly experienced in the handling and utilisation of infrastructure asset data, and they hold extensive experience handling new and established data formats. Within XA©, asset data is managed through several features:
- Asset data spatial importing & updating
- Asset CSV importing & updating
- Asset & attribute configuration
- Asset visualisation & browsing
- Asset dashboards
- Document management
Inspection & Condition Data Management
XA© provides the tools to manage asset inspections and condition data through several features:
- User defined network surveys & defects
- User defined asset inspections & defects
- Treatment management
- Survey & inspections management & scheduling
- Inspection dashboards
- Inspection sign off processes
- Document management
- UKPMS accreditation
- BCI calculations
- PAS 2161 compliance
Decision Support Analysis
We provide expert advice to support you in your application of XA© and the analytical stages that XA© provides, which include:
- Problem Definition - Working collaboratively with you to define the problem and the decision that needs to be made, taking into account the real-world context
- Data Integration - Multi-source survey data is seamlessly integrated and instantly actionable
- Condition Projection Modelling - Using analytical models (like decision trees, simulations, optimization models, etc.) and tailored solutions, we model different scenarios across different time periods
- Evaluation of Alternatives - XA© supports user defined analysis and we help you compare options based on criteria such as cost, treatment rules, risk, benefit, or time. Through scheme generation analysis and a lifecycle planning approach, we support long-term decisions
- Recommendation and Support - We visualise and present best options to decision-makers
Value Management
Value Management or Value Engineering is a vital asset management process and one we support through our XA© system. We support value management through several core system functions:
- Scheme prioritisations
- Prioritisation scenarios
- User defined prioritisation calculations
- User defined data criteria (including section & asset
attributes, condition and on-site data)
Key benefits of taking a value management approach include:
- Reduction of unnecessary costs Improved performance and quality
- Encourages innovation and creativity Enhances stakeholder alignment
- Leads to better decision-making Allows inclusion of non-defect data
- Improved performance and quality
- Enhances stakeholder alignment
- Allows inclusion of non-defect data
