Explore inventory in a 2D connectivity workbench with asset search, route filters, zoom and an inspector. See disconnected assets and missing coordinates before planning. Open the design canvas for route/trench, duct, cable and point objects, measurement, layers, undo/redo, draft saving and a design quantity summary. The connectivity view is schematic; proposed design objects do not themselves change live assets.
How it works
Select a route or search an asset.
Inspect its connections and engineering attention items.
Choose endpoints for analysis or open the design canvas.
Choose a start and destination to analyze registered manholes, cables and fibers. Review physical traversal, optical connectivity, available capacity and missing information, then save a proposal and preview a work package. Co-location is not proof of a splice. Missing cables, unknown splice positions and surveyed lengths are never invented.
How it works
Choose two different recorded endpoints.
Analyze the route and resolve incomplete network information.
Save the proposal and preview the complete work package.
A controlled handover from engineering to the field.
Implemented in reviewed source
Prepare location-by-location diagrams with instructions and proposed connections. Review PDF/SVG sheets and download the complete ZIP, or assign the package to a job with a technician and supervisor. Technician completion records evidence; assigned-supervisor approval applies the defined changes and preserves before/after asset versions. Conflicts stop the transaction.
How it works
Review the scope, drawings and proposed disconnections.
Assign the package and record sheet completion in the job.
Submit for supervisor review before live asset changes.
Prepare the splice work. Preserve the network record.
Implemented in reviewed source
Work diagrams retain the assigned Closure Studio snapshot and distinguish planned work from the recorded network. Technicians complete the assigned scope with evidence. Supervisor approval applies the reviewed changes and preserves the previous asset version; planned markings are removed only from the completed scope.
How it works
Prepare and review the closure work diagram.
Assign the saved snapshot to a job and complete its scope.
Submit for supervisor approval and retain the resulting evidence.

Engineering & Auto Route
Discover gaps at the desk before they become field questions.
The everyday problem
A route drawn between two points can hide missing cables, occupied fibers or an unrecorded transfer. If these questions reach the field unresolved, the team must interrupt work to ask what should happen next.
How XANDER helps
Fiber Engineering Studio exposes recorded connectivity and missing data. Auto Route analyzes registered endpoints and capacity; the team reviews the proposal and prepares location-specific work sheets. Proposed design, assigned work and approved network changes remain distinct.
Who benefits—and how
For the engineer: inspect the basis of a route and its missing information before handing it over. Use the design canvas for proposed geometry without silently rewriting live assets.
For the field team: receive the assigned diagrams and instructions together, with a defined scope to complete and evidence to attach.
For the company: clearer handovers can reduce interpretation and plan-versus-execution disputes. The supervisor approval step provides a controlled point for updating recorded assets.
A practical situation
Example: a route proposal crosses a site without a verified optical link. Resolve that gap before dispatch; do not turn physical proximity into an assumed splice. Send the reviewed work package to the assigned team.
How to evaluate the benefit
Measure clarification requests after dispatch, plans returned for missing data and repeat work caused by outdated instructions. These are evaluation measures, not promised reductions.
Benefits describe intended operational value. No measured saving or guaranteed return is implied.
