Field Inspection Data Goes Mainstream

摘要

Tucson Electric Power takes transmission inspection and reporting from paper and spreadsheets to a client-server-based system with remote field units. TUCSON ELECTRIC POWER USED TO RECORD LINE INSPECTION DATA ON PAPER PATROL SHEETS. If there were not any problems, the sheets were simply filed away for future reference. If there were items that needed attention, the patroller would manually input those observations into the company's asset management system to generate work orders. This was a cumbersome, time-consuming process. There had to be a better way.
