Owen Electric improves inspection processes with an iPad application and eliminates excess paper. During its annual public service commission operations audit, Owen Electric Cooperative (OEC) is asked a series of questions: When was the last time an inspector was at this location? What type of electric device was inspected? Who was the inspector? Were any deficiencies found? If so, when were the deficiencies corrected? OEC is a member-owned electric distribution system serving nine counties in the northern Kentucky, U.S., area. With roughly 4,500 miles (7,250 km) of power line to maintain and more than 60,000 members to serve, the cooperative is challenged to maintain a schedule of inspecting all its electric facilities within a two-year cycle.
