Electric

Leveraging the power of GIS is an integral part in the success of today’s electric utility companies. In an ever-developing world, electric utilities are forced to cope with the realities of increasing customer bases and infrastructure demands in constant need of upgrades and expansions. With up-to-date, accurate, and comprehensive information about its infrastructure, an electric utility can work faster and more efficiently and stay better informed.

GeoDecisions® provides rural electric cooperatives, municipalities, and investor-owned utilities with fully integrated GIS services enabling better-informed and more-accurate decision making.

     ElectriMAP™
ElectriMAP is a low-cost and reliable Esri®-based electric utility mapping package built on a proven, non-proprietary data format. Its robust data placement tools greatly increase productivity and data integrity. Along with data validation tools, ElectriMAP provides the ability to ensure a network is fully connected, contains no loops, and is not being fed by multiple directions.

     GeoFUSE® Vegetation Management
GeoFUSE is a vegetation management application that enables electric utilities to efficiently manage vegetation within their service areas, help maintain their networks, limit down time, and ensure safety. GeoDecisions leverages GIS to provide vegetation management tools that are customized for each client to map, record, and report data for trimming, spraying, and mowing.

     Custom Application/Tool Development
Our highly qualified developers use the most up-to-date tools and programming languages to customize applications and fulfill a project’s unique requirements. GeoDecisions can develop virtually any application or tool that will better integrate or simplify the use of critical utility data.
     Web-based Mapping Solutions
Mapping sites contain components common to most spatial web applications, such as feature-rich map display elements and navigation, query, and printing tools. GeoDecisions has successfully implemented a number of web-based mapping sites designed and deployed for internal or public use. Built using GeoPRIME, GeoDecisions’ multi-platform framework for designing spatial web applications, data can be made available securely through the internet or through a utility’s internal intranet for viewing specific data such as outage conditions.

     Garmin Utility Data Integration
GeoDecisions can load your GIS data, including conductor, service locations, poles, devices, substation boundaries, etc., into Garmin global positioning system (GPS) units. With Garmin GPS units, linemen and field personnel will have access to current GIS infrastructure and associated attribute data rather than working with bulky, outdated map books with limited information available. Additionally, field personnel can route to specific line, pole, service, device, or substation locations efficiently, with no street address required.
     Rapid Response Alert Notification System
The Rapid Response System is a reliable, robust high-speed alert notification system designed to deliver phone, email, or text messages to customers. With its user-friendly, web-based interface, the Rapid Response System has the ability to contact thousands of customers within minutes of a known or scheduled outage. Rapid Response empowers utilities to generate precise alert lists and send automated messages from computers and mobile devices. Real-time reports and detailed call summary reports provide critical information to ensure maximum system effectiveness.

     GIS Data Updates
GeoDecisions provides GIS data update services designed to bring an existing database up to date, or as part of on-going GIS support. Our efficient and highly skilled GIS analysts can assist with any backlog of updates that may have accumulated, improving the accuracy of the existing data. Our ortho alignment process enables poles, service locations, substations, and other infrastructure to be accurately aligned with high-resolution ortho imagery.
     Certified Esri Training
GeoDecisions has certified Esri trainers on staff to provide standard Esri training, as well as customized training to meet each utility company’s specific needs. Additionally, we can provide support staff to assist with ongoing technical questions and software installation, both virtually or onsite.
     Asset Management and Tracking
An effective asset management and tracking solution allows utilities to better respond to their infrastructure needs. GeoDecisions provides GIS-based enterprise asset management solutions, complete with tracking technology hardware and a high-end intelligent mapping interface. The system integrates and displays live-vehicle tracking, near-real-time weather, and active route conditions in a map format through a single, secure interface. Transportation infrastructure information is pulled from more than 400 data sets, providing current data on roads, bridges, tunnels, road conditions, construction, and traffic incidents. Geofence technology is used to tie specific locations to work orders and to be notified when trucks enter or leave the facility.
     Systems Integration
GeoDecisions specializes in building application connectivity by linking software and information silos into an enterprise application environment. This process simplifies and automates business practices, whether it is your GIS, consumer information system, automated meter reading, engineering analysis application, outage management system, or asset management/work order system.
