Procedure rationale-The PJM System is controlled via the pulse jet mixer control system (Prescon). In order to facilitate the operation of the test rig the pulse jet mixer software being provided by the SPP1 Process Improvement Project will need ot be adapted to allow it to work on the test rig.
-These modifications would require access to the full source code that contains the details of the NuVision Engineering proprietary Prescon® Algorithm. NuVision owns the Intellectual Property Rights to the Software and will not grant access or give permission for a third party to perform modifications.
-Please note, as per the SPP1 process improvement project access to the software is kept with ESCROW, such that if Nuvision Engineering ceased to exist SL would get the IPR to the software and CSG could maintain it going forward.
-Nuvision have the IPR rights for the PJM system, if another supplier was to be appointed they would be unable to access the code for the existing system, and it would lead to an upredictable output, potentially leading to increased cost and schedule. There would be no incentive for Nuvision to work with a third party, which could lead to interface issues and cost and schedule increases.
-The test rig that will be used was originally a Nuvision test rig that was used for the phase 1 of the software and so they have the existing knowledge to be able to utilise it and rebuild it.
-Furthermore, there isn’t an option in this situation to utilise another supplier due to the IPR. However, by using the same company increases predictability in the outputs required by the project due to knowledge and expertise that NVE have of the PJMs and the trial rig that the project are required to re-build. |
