Mobile Mapping
• Map Center– Internally developed application implemented in 2014 to provide Company wide
access to GIS
– Accessible in the field provided network connection available
• ArcGIS for Windows Mobile– Implemented in 2015 to facilitate GIS data collection (services)
– Access limited to those involved in data collection and some field personnel
• ArcFM Mobile – First deployed to T & D Planners in spring 2018 together with Avantis Mobile
– Intended to provide access to GIS without network connection and facilitate redlining
– Rolled out to Engineering Technologists and Powerline Technicians in 2019 as part of the OMS project
– Damage assessments

Reliability Improvement
• Use of GIS to identify opportunities to maintain/improve reliability
• Looked at causes of outages such as: – Fuses
– Transformers
– Conductor
– Vegetation
• Used Web AppBuilder for ArcGIS to provide view of problem areas
• Provided access to key personnel
Reliability Improvement
Transformer related outages

Time on Tools
• Purpose of the initiative– Assess the productivity of field personnel
– Identify opportunities for improvement
– Increase work time (versus drive time)
– Ensure policy and procedures compliance
– Verify quality of the information provided from the field
• Using Operations Dashboard to provide a view of AVL, WFMS and other data
• Preliminary analysis phase
Time on Tools
Augmented Reality
• Using AuGeo (in development)
• See potential for value in future
• Pilot underway in one operating Area to assess potential benefits
• Using AuGeo
– Locating plant in the field (underground)
– Hard to reach areas
– Low visibility
– Missing labels
– Capturing images
– Correcting data
Augmented Reality
Click Upgrade
• Business drivers– Current version nearing end of life
– Opportunities for improvement
• Plan (2020, 2021)– ClickSchedule v8.1.10 to v8.3
– ClickMobile Classic to v8.3 Touch
– Infrastructure upgrade
• Opportunities– Mapping solution upgrade/integration
– Work schedule optimization
– Resource management
Click Upgrade
Click Upgrade
Avantis Upgrade
• Business drivers– Current version nearing end of life
– Opportunities for improvement
• Plan (2020)– Classic v5.1 BR to Classic v6.0
– Web version 6.0.2 to latest Web version
– Infrastructure upgrade
• Opportunities– Process review/revision
– Use more of the available functionality
– GIS integration
Asset Management
Avantis Upgrade
Avantis Upgrade
SLMS Replacement
• Business drivers– Age and functional limitations of system
– Dependence on internal resources
– Limited capability to automate processes, integrate with other systems
• Plan (2020)– Migrate SLMS to Avantis
• Opportunities– Process automation
– GIS integration for employees/customers
– Inspection and maintenance program
