Utility Network
Next generation spatial information system for utility management.
As a next-generation spatial information system, Esri’s ArcGIS Utility Network provides utility companies with great functionality over massive datasets at every scale of resolution.
At its core, Utility Network is a data model accompanied by a set of business rules that allow organisations to visualise, analyse and edit complex networks at a level of detail never before possible. It can serve as the system of record for the assets of a utility and provide information about the past, present, and planned future state of a utility network system.
In combination with Esri’s ArcGIS technology and mobile devices the utility network is available where it is needed, from mobile devices in the field to the desktop in operation centres.
Esri ArcGIS Utility Network offers a modern application architecture, much-improved traceability functionality and industry specific data model that enables utilities to transform asset data into critical information through the power of rules and relationships.
With Utility Network, your organisation can:
- access a high-performing model scalable to large utilities
- model how components of the organisations’ system are connected
- enforce data integrity and reduce data entry errors
- enable advanced analysis of the network
- provide a comprehensive view of the network.
Big Utilities Require Strong Data Standards
Big utility networks require strong data standards, self-service tools and set way of working to best manage the complexity of systems to maximise efficiency.
Implementing ArcGIS Pro and Utility Network therefore requires careful consideration and planning. The existing data structure must be mapped to the updated Utility Network model, and every web map, app and integration interface throughout the organisation that calls on GIS data will be impacted by the transition.
COSOL's Utility Netwrok Implementation Solution
COSOL’s implementation solution offers the option of a Proof of Concept (PoC) to establish and evaluate the platform within a client’s own environment, using a subset of actual asset data. After a Discovery Phase to explore current data and system components, the PoC serves to demonstrate the technology and test migration recommendations. This time invested in research and planning informs the subsequent detailed design and implementation phases of the transition.
