is designed for fast creation of linear schedules making use of predefined work packages in its library. On creating new activities, TILOS is analysing location data (length) and can immediately set quantity, resource allocation and duration. The planning work is reduced to a minimum.


5 different ways to create activities



  1. Drawing on screen: The most natural way is to develop the plan graphically on screen, like you would do on paper. TILOS converts the lines into real time and di-stance data. Changes in dialog are converted directly to the drawing.
  2. Activity list: Create first a list of work packages and edit the distance values manually or by sector list. They appear automatically in time distance view. The sector list is a table with predefined location areas, where work will be executed.
  3. Bar chart: Draw activities directly in the bar chart, like you know from other applications.
  4. Import: Activity lists with links and resources can be imported to TILOS and viewed as a time distance diagram. Missing information can be added later in TILOS.
  5. Insert activity groups: Pre modelled activity groups, that are always performed in one sequence can be generated in one action (e.g. Trench opening – Pipe laying – Trench filling).


3 different ways to create relationships



  1. Drawing on screen: The most natural way is to link the activities directly on screen using the mouse.
  2. Link List: Get a good overview on the links structure by simply creating and editing them within a list.
  3. Import: Import allows the quickest way of creation, if those have already been worked out in a CPM based planning system.


More reschedule options



TILOS has many unique features to reflect the effect of the field location into the schedule such as:

  • Distance keeping:
    Set a distance, that 2 activities need to have in between, and TILOS will adjust this on each reschedule (e.g. Trench opening needs always to be 100 m ahead of Pipe laying).

  • Synchronise successor:
    This option makes sure, that 2 linked activities are always synchronised in location, if source activity is changed (e.g. if length of trench opening is updated, then end of pipe laying gets updated as well).
  • Speed synchronisation:
    2 Processes work parallel and have the same speed. TILOS makes sure, that if the speed of master activity is changed, all others also get changed.
  • Meeting point:
    If two teams work at the same work package but from different side with different speed. TILOS calculates the meeting point automatically by setting an end-end-link.
