Key Benefits

Ability

Substation Editor.
The Graphical User Interface
is extremely user-friendly , providing complete windowed
"point-and-click" capabilities. For example, in the Substation
Maintenance module, the user creates a single line diagram of each substation
using drag and drop techniques to place objects such as Switchgear,
Transformers, Breakers, Protective Devices, Battery & Charger, etc. Each
object represents a physical device with a historical sequence of records in the
data base, and the current maintenance record can be recalled to a
"fill-in-the-blanks" template format by clicking the object.
The design philosophy is that each device may be individually maintained
(i.e. at different times, by different crews, etc.). If a displayed device is
due for maintenance, it is color-coded to so indicate, and will remain so until
the maintenance record for that object is "signed-off". Reports of
work completed or to be performed for a user-specified period into the future
are available on demand, and worksheets may be generated for field work over the
next day, week, or month. The user is automatically warned of upcoming equipment
warranty expiration to assist in assigning priorities to maintenance needs.
Management reports are available to provide an "at-a-glance" overview
of scheduled work to be done versus available time for all types of equipment
within the electrical network
