Core competence: Service restoration management (highlights)

Outage logging, operations and information center

• Dispatching board (orders, bottleneck resources, team formation, alerting, dispatching support)
• Work preparation (standardization through preconfigured processes, bundling of orders, organi-zation of third-party companies, material, and planned outage requests)
• Work management (dispatching by drag&drop, check of qualification, authorization, time period, ... as well as employee-specific daily route optimization)
• Integration of third-party service providers (rights concept, dispatching concept)

Core competence: Maintenance management (highlights)

Strategic capacity scheduling & automatic dispatching

• Strategic capacity planning with extended fuzzy logic (bundling of work, annual shift planning, bottleneck analysis, project assessment, procurement optimization)
• Automated dispatching with KPI optimization (standardized decisions, planning stability > 30 days, consideration of daily changes, answers at the push of a button)
• Strategic and operational switching management with integration of the control center (annual switching plan generation, continuous switching request process which includes the control system, switching documentation using PSIgridmobile)

Core competence: Switching management

Request

• In the context of the overall task
• Seamless verification in the control system
• Generation of step lists
• Integrated collision analysis based on area and load

Dispatching

• Ihe context of the overall task
• Personnel decision independent of the request process
• Complete information for involved customers and requestors
• Seamless information transfer to the engineers

Execution

• Digital information exchange between control center and engineers
• Interactive step lists (synchronous process in the case of team switching)
• Operational autonomy  for engineers after initial release by the control center

Core competence: Asset management

Operational capacity planning

• Overview of available / scheduled resources
• Overview of scheduled execution times
• Overview of employee data
  (such as know-how, special skills, and availability)
• Overview of current utilization of employees and resources
• Simulation of effects

Conclusions

• Transparent visualization of the current situation
• Meaningful planning through mapping of qualifications, travel routes, project delays
• Cost savings by automated grouping of switching measures

Core competence: Mobile support for the field force

All required information and documentation - whether for inspections, outages, or planned outages - are centrally available in PSIgridmobile. At the end of the job, the documentation is completed for the engineer and the subsequent processes are already started automatically.

Functions

• Electronic transmission of operations to units
• Received data are files, documents and XML structures
• Transmission of status changes and work documentation
• Transmission of additional information (messages)
• Simple installation mechanisms
• Support of native navigation apps
• Runs on Windows, Android, and IOS

Highlights

• Nutzung Use of adaptive interview without installation
• Spontaneous data transmission of status and feedback as well as position when connection is established
• Integration into the car electronics (emergency lights, horn)
• Multi-channel connection (Tetra, WLAN, GSM)
