Using interactive maps and reports, operations staff can quickly determine where response teams are needed most critically. The system displays information about service areas, electric facilities, customers, and trouble calls. It also indicates the operational status of a service area in terms of the number of outstanding trouble calls. In the sample screen shown below, the crosshatched areas represent PacifiCorp service areas.
Colors provide a quick visual indicator of the status of the areas.
The color coding is dynamically updated as trouble as trouble calls are reported and corrected. OMS is an AutoCAD Map-based application that is used to maintain 65,000 detailed facilities maps. Copyright 1999, Gatekeeper Systems.
