Introduction
Working together for innovation
In Enschede and Losser, the municipalities are working with NTP and Roelofs on an innovative asphalt maintenance project. Under the name Roadblocks they are joining forces to make the infrastructure smarter, more sustainable and more future-proof.
The project symbolises a new way of working in the infrastructure sector. A way where data, technology and human skills reinforce each other. No longer based on routine, but on insights, collaboration and innovation. To do this, they needed the help of Flawless Workflow.
Ambition
A different way of looking at maintenance
The Roadsigns want an asset management process that:
- is circular
- Low-CO₂ works
- integrally is carried out
- healthy and safe is for the living environment
- climate-adaptive is and can withstand extremes
These goals require one central data layer that combines insight, execution and decision-making. That is why we started setting up a complete Data & AI Platform for asset management.
Solution
From ambition to approach
Data-driven asset management requires a solid data layer. The platform gathers and combines:
- inspection data
- project data
- maintenance records
- GIS and asset information
- implementation information
All necessary solutions can be built and linked from this platform:
- dashboards
- GIS viewers
- AI tools and agents
- chatbots
- integration with portals
This forms the technical and substantive basis for the roadmap towards future-proof asset management in 2030.
The four solutions that have been realized
Application 1 - Program Dashboard
The program dashboard provides real-time insight into the progress, performance and impact of all projects within the maintenance program.
The dashboard makes it possible to:
- CO₂ reduction to be monitored
- to follow circularity
- to better manage projects
- to significantly reduce reporting time
Application 2 - Asset Quality Overview Dashboard
This dashboard provides real-time insight into the quality of all road sections within the municipality.
It supports:
- targeted inspections where it's really necessary
- accurate maintenance planning
- less time loss in data processing
- be prepared for predictive and circular maintenance
Application 3 - Automation, transfer, execution → management
This solution ensures that execution information flows back to the management process automatically without manual transmission or loss of data.
This results in:
- less hardening research
- less work preparation
- less surveying by surveyors
- a uniform data set for future predictive maintenance
Application 4 - Predicting AI Damage Development
With our AI agents running on the data platform, damage development is predicted based on historical data and inspection information.
The benefits:
- fewer inspections required
- more accurate programming
- better long-term planning
- risk-based management
One integrated ecosystem
In order to achieve a future-proof and scalable environment for data-driven work, the partners opted for the Flawless Workflow Data & AI Platform. It offers a complete ecosystem where all components reinforce each other and together make a data-driven way of working possible.
FlexyForm
A configurable module that automatically collects missing or additional data when existing systems fail. All captured data flows directly back into the platform, keeping the data layer uniform, up to date and complete.
Talk to Your Data
A conversational layer that allows teams to ask questions directly to their data. Whether it's insight into maintenance needs, circularity, costs, CO₂ impact or planning: users receive immediate answers, without manual reports or analyses.
AI Agents
Intelligent agents within the platform that predict future scenarios and automate repetitive tasks. They interpret and structure documentation, initiate operational actions, and support accurate forecasts for maintenance, capacity and lifecycle planning.
360° Insights
Because all data, documents, processes and AI models come together in one platform, a complete picture of assets, projects and performance is created. This uniform data layer forms the basis for real-time control information, predictive ability and sustainable decision-making.
Continuation
From insights to a complete roadmap towards 2030
The platform and the first four solutions are the basis. The Roadmaps are now working on a roadmap to 2030 that fully integrates circularity, sustainability and data-driven asset management. The platform remains the central source for all future applications, from new AI solutions to smart portals and automation in progress.
The region is thus building a sustainable standard for managing public space.
