Utilities have realized the importance of GIS mapping and the ease GIS systems provide in effectively tracking and monitoring the Electrical networks. CS offers GIS mapping, GIS application software integration and development in a customized manner to suit the requirements of Utilities. The GIS maps/data are tightly integrated with the EBAS suite, to provide an in-depth graphical view at every focal point in the electrical network system.
GIS activity is performed in a cohesive manner after network asset and consumer data survey is completed. The land base maps are required as a background for creation of electrical network and locating/identifying all the entities of Utilities. During the unavailability of base maps, the local development authority shall be approached for maps in print form. These maps may be digitized as per requirement and serve as base maps.
The objective of Asset Mapping on GIS is to ensure effective tracking of assets as well as the associated structures throughout their lifecycle. This also helps analyze the information for:
- Improve asset tracking, utilization and maintenance
- Improve customer service through:
- Deployment of transformers
- Exception handling (in case of failures)
- Trouble call resolution and complaint handling
Enable greater visibility leading to improved decision making about Asset maintenance, repair and operational procedures and track the related costs
