Cyient to Support the UK's HMLR to Centralize and Digitally Register the Local Land Charges Records
Cyient, a global engineering and digital technology solutions company, announced that it has been selected by HM Land Registry (HMLR) to support its Local Land Charges (LLC) Programme.
HM Land Registry safeguards land and property ownership valued at £7 trillion, enabling over £1 trillion worth of personal and commercial lending to be secured against property across England and Wales. The Land Register contains more than 26 million titles showing evidence of ownership for more than 87% of the landmass of England and Wales.
Cyient has partnered with Esri UK and Xerox to deliver this project. The partnership brings a wealth of proven and relevant experience of direct and tangible benefits to the LLC program. The program aims to digitize and migrate millions of separately held local land charge records from local authorities into a centralized digital register. This will enable HMLR to provide a single and simple-to-use digital service for homebuyers and conveyancers.
Mark Kelso, Programme Director, Local Land Charges, HM Land Registry said: “We are excited to be working in partnership with Cyient to deliver the new national digital LLC Service for England and Wales.”
"We are delighted to have been selected by HMLR to support the LLC Programme. Cyient's experience in successfully delivering large volume geospatial information digitizing and migration projects made us a solid fit for HMLR,"said Matt Wood, Geospatial Sales Director, EMEA, Cyient.
Cyient will work with Esri UK to provide a fully configured and customized version of the Esri SWEET™ software package, which will be used as the primary spatial capture and improvement tool for HMLR. Xerox's Capture and Content Services, which use powerful artificial intelligence and machine learning, will automatically capture and validate information from digital and physical local land charge records.
“Esri UK look forward to collaborating with Cyient and Xerox to support HMLR on their LLC Programme. Location is a key parameter for the programme and our Sweet for ArcGIS software is designed for exactly this type of use case—configurable, Web-based geospatial data capture/editing by multiple parallel operators with real-time feedback to support efficient capture of high quality data,” said Miles Gabriel, Commercial Manager at Esri UK.
“Homebuyers and conveyancers expect easy and instant access to land records, because they make financial and legal decisions based on these documents,” said cyient.com 2 Darren Cassidy, Managing Director for U.K. and Ireland and Senior Vice President for Europe, Middle East & Africa (EMEA) Enterprise and Global Accounts Operations at Xerox. “Xerox services together with Cyient's geospatial platform will automatically populate and enable a centralized digital register improving the citizen experience.”
Cyient will own the entire process and provide a central management information platform, allowing for "single pane of glass" reporting, with the ability to drill down to prove data integrity and provenance. Cyient will provide all spatial capture and improvement services as well as textual capture.

ABB sets new global standard with remote commissioning of actuators for BGPPL, India
Successful upgrade to ABB’s Induction xP Plus for BGPPL in India completes modernization and marks first-of-its-kind project for ABB
ABB has successfully completed the commissioning of the Induction xP Plus Profiler system on PM3 at Bilt Graphic Paper Products Limited (BGPPL), Ballarpur, India.
Marking the first time that an ABB cross machine direction control engineer has provided remote commissioning support for an upgrade of this kind, the modernization project was successfully and seamlessly delivered due to the world-class domain expertise of the team.
ABB’s new Induction xP Plus is the best-in-class cross direction (CD) caliper profile control to achieve maximum induction heating in the shortest time possible, for reduced product variability and rapid corrections to sheet finishing profiles. The actuator heats the calender roll with an alternating magnetic field, creating heating eddy currents that cause the roll to expand. This narrows the nip between rolls and compresses the paper for reduced caliper and increased smoothness, offering papermakers advanced caliper profiling and sheet finishing capability. It is an integral part of the ABB Ability™ Quality Management System (QMS), which is based on the flagship digital platform, ABB Ability™ System 800xA.
“As part of our mill modernization, we decided to replace the existing ABB CD caliper control system (ThermoProfiler) with the latest Induction xP Plus profiler for PM3 at our Ballarpur plant, where we produce premium uncoated woodfree writing and printing paper, as well as high-quality office paper from 100 percent virgin wood fibers,” said Mr. Uday Kukde, General Manager and Unit Head, BGPPL, Ballarpur. “This upgrade to a newer, more reliable product was critical in order to improve our efficiency, safety and quality by reducing product variability, breakdown and inventory cost.”
“This has been a significant, first-of-its-kind remote commissioning for ABB, made possible by the team’s strong domain expertise,” said Rajmohan Arumugam, Engineering Manager – QMS, ABB. “Despite it being a complex task, the team overcame all logistical and health and safety hurdles and ensured that the the entire process ran smoothly and exceeded customer expectations.”
Bilt Graphic Paper Products Limited (BGPPL), a subsidiary of Bilt Paper B.V., manufactures coated and uncoated woodfree paper as well as copy paper from multiple facilities located in the state of Maharashtra. BGPPL, which exports its paper products to more than 55 countries, has a total capacity of 670,000 metric tons per annum across three mills.
