48 I ICT TODAY Automated testing enables real-time instrument control using data prepopulated from the design source, such as cable running lists, ensuring accuracy, speed, and quality control. The testing application captures the raw data files and screen shots from the testing instrument, providing notes and photos all organized and instantly captured once the test is completed. Using machine learning (ML), the app can recog- nize errors, spec deviations, and offers live mitigation instructions. Testing and splicing events are seamlessly uploaded to the project record. Instant and nightly summaries notify the team when testing or splicing activities have been completed and provides instant visibility to the test data. The solution allows for fast automated closeout report generation using data collected via the platform through- out the life of the project. Data collected during testing allows for expedited system commissioning. Closeout reports including test and splice data, photos, punch list reports, and completed task checklists are immediately compiled as the data is collected from the field. The project manager works through an approval workflow and generates highly customized reports using customer templates. The closeout package provides a dynamic view of the complete network and its end-to-end results. Cutting edge data analytics enable the data col- lected to be used for troubleshooting and maintenance, which can be a great benefit during retrofits when existing systems are repurposed and need to remain functional. Accessing the network's digital fingerprint provides visibility into the as-built state. This helps to provide system continuity without having to rely on tribal knowledge. Infrastructure updates and fixes are easily paired with the original network. No two networks are the same. An intelligent build solution enables access to the unique digital footprint of a network—from manufacturing, to receiving, to installation, and maintenance. See Figure 2.
