Targeting and timing maintenance actions to where it’s most needed - with a limited budget. Ensuring your field crews and contractors work as productively as possible. Breaking down organizational silos between different utility divisions to work more efficiently. Aligning maintenance with investment plans to eliminate unnecessary maintenance work, for example, on assets that are to be demolished in the near future.
Our mission is to help your utility make smart maintenance decisions, based on solid understanding on the current condition of your assets and the ability to identify the most critical reliability and safety risks in your network. We offer scalable maintenance management support from planning and scheduling your maintenance based on asset condition, budget and resources to managing your entire maintenance process from inspections to repair works and your overall maintenance programs. You can also tie in your investment planning to eliminate unnecessary measurements, inspections, and maintenance tasks.

Maintenance Process Management
In your maintenance planning, gain insight into the current condition of your assets with extensive tools for high-level maintenance planning, including possibilities for maintenance program management and risk-based maintenance planning. For execution, we offer support for carrying out inspection and repair works and smooth work management workflows between the office and field crews. Finally, our state-of-the-art tools for follow-up, analysis and reporting enable you to easily manage your overall maintenance programs.

The Maintenance application allows you to tie all your data together, including the asset type, model, age, and other properties as well as the maintenance action costs and budget, and task recurrence. You can also bring in your investment programs and make sure you’re not planning maintenance on assets that are to be demolished. Further, you can make use of the network connectivity model, tying in your SAIDI, SAIFI, CAIDI, and so on, with customer criticality for prioritizing maintenance on the network components where failures would have the highest impact on your distribution reliability.
Use case examples
Maintenance Program PlanningPlan maintenance for the entire network based on date, recurrence, asset criticality, and the investment program. Examine the planning results in a dynamic view in terms of costs and quantities, for example, by region or by substation.

Smooth Work ManagementAssign tasks at the office and have them immediately available for the field crews to execute. Have your field crews pick available tasks independently from a task list or a map. Follow up on the reserved and completed tasks in real time.
|
Documentation On the GoHave your linemen document the completed maintenance tasks directly in the field to speed up the documentation and enhance its quality. Add photos and other documents to complete the maintenance data.

Bring Efficiency to Your Field Work
Utility To Go provides a convenient and secure access to your utility network data − anytime and anywhere.
The solution enables field crews to locate and document pre-assigned tasks, such as inspections and repairs, or you can have your crews independently reserve and execute nearby tasks from an open task pool, eliminating idle driving and bringing field crew efficiency to a whole new level. With the easy-to-use user interface, crews can search for and filter tasks, for example, by asset type or distance, or simply use the map. In addition, crews can easily document any ad hoc observations and actions executed in the field. You can control how your crews and subcontractors can access the available maintenance actions. |
Reflections
Risk-Based MaintenanceAs for maintenance, we often focus only on the asset condition. But what about customer criticality - is one customer more important than another?

Vegetation ManagementTogether with the NM Group, we believe in an integrated approach to network risks. One example is streamlining the vegetation management process, reducing both time and operating costs.

Transforming Field WorkTraditional maintenance planning includes a foreman assigning tasks to field crews, but that can never be as good as it is in the field. So could it be done differently?
