Operations Dashboard top of page

The operations dashboard provides complete drill-down and drill-through decision support related to asset outages and resource performance. Integration with operations management, SCADA, GIS, mobile computing, and other external systems provide real time and near-real time business insight to the user as the events unfold.

Typical analytical elements include:

  • Asset Status (transformers, primary circuits, substations)
  • Number of customers impacted by the outage
  • Spatial representation of the outage
  • Spatial designation of customer impact
  • Location of mobile workforce closest to the work
  • Average restoration times, dispatched percentage of jobs and workloads
  • IEEE indice reporting such as SAIDI, CAIDI, SAIFI, CAIFI, CMI, and MAIFI.
  • Current weather conditions in the area that may impact the work load throughout the day

Additionally, as events unfold, tactical actions to resolve the outage are reflected against corporate objectives.

Work Management Dashboard top of page

The WMS dashboard brings together critical business intelligence normally buried within your work management and other related systems.

WMS spatial and schematic information mapping includes:

  • Status and tracking of planned and unplanned work orders
  • Extensive drill-down by location/area, type of work, and other factors
  • Work order delays due to parts shortage, switching conflicts, etc.
  • Work order compliance tracking for service order commitments
