USING ARCGIS ONLINE for Utility Asset Inspections
Agenda  Introductions  Business Drivers  The Solution  Demo  Business Value Add + Lessons Learned  Questions?
Introductions Russell Shirley | Hart EMC  Manager of Technical Services  25 years with the Utility  Responsible for all IT, GIS, communications, substation maintenance and SCADA initiatives Dean Perry | SSP Innovations  Sales & Account Manager  Esri & Schneider Electric Certified Implementation Partner  Esri ArcGIS Online Specialty Partner focused on utilities
Hart EMC – Background  1200 sq miles in Northeast Georgia  140,000 features to inspection  Using ArcMap since 2001  ArcMap 10.0, ArcGIS Server 10.1  Everything needed was already in place
Hart EMC – Business Drivers  Needed to use existing iPads  Needed a new inspection program quickly  Utilize Data within existing GIS systems (ArcFM, Reporting)  Use as much of our resources already in place  Keep cost low  Be agile
The Solution – Targeted Inspection Features  Use existing GDB for targeted inspections  Move from versioned ArcFM class to inspection class  Target inspection attribution by type  Use Defaults from Existing Features  Capture Additional Fields  SSP Nightly Batch Suite (NBS) Application  Automated Creation of Targeted Inspections
The Solution – Targeted Inspection Features  Re-projection from State Plane to WGS84 to improve performance  Used Editor Tracking in Server to track who and when the inspection was completed  NBS app picks up new records and regenerates targeted inspections by year  Used Domains wherever possible  Single run of the NBS provides fully populated targets
The Solution – Inspection WebMap  Utilized ArcGIS Server 10.1 to publish map/feature services to be used by ArcGIS Online
The Solution – Inspection WebMap  Created a custom base map  Users Had Options  HEMC Base Map  Or any AGOL Base Map
The Solution – Collecting Inspections  Utilized iPad GPS for Location  Walking Shows Direction
Collecting Inspections  Click a targeted (red point) on map to collect inspection  Enter Field Data Using Intuitive Controls  Capture Pictures as Needed
The Solution – Collecting Inspections  As Inspections Completed  Change Color on Map  Red  Green, Allowed for Real Time Tracking of Progress
The Solution – Empower the Data  Reported on any Exceptions Requiring Follow Up  SSP Nightly Batch Suite Application  Emailed Nightly Reports
The Solution – Empower the Data  Reports Include Picture Count & Quick View for Web Viewer  Also Provided Fields for Follow Up Fixes Applied  Report Sent to GIS and non GIS Operations Folks
The Solution – Quick Demo Demonstration
Business Value Add  Fully Automated Inspection Application  Got the data rolled out to field users quickly  Utilized Data Via Reporting – Got it to Operations Quickly  Entire Project Rolled out in Just over 1 Week  High Return on Investment
Lessons Learned  What Went Well  Setting up ArcGIS Online was easy enough  Publishing feature and map services are easy  Issues Encountered  The AGOL/Server combination can be complex  Esri support for AGOL/Server is lacking  Troubleshooting require skill we had to learn, Fiddler-jMeter

Editor's Notes

  1. Russell will now perform a quick demonstration of the solution on his iPad.
  2. Russell Update as desired…
  3. Russell Update as desired…
  4. Take any questions, remind them to fill out their surveys, and thank them for attending. This end-to-end solution took a new spin on ArcGIS Online inspections by using targeted inspection records in the fields. We used a ton of back office automation to create a configurable and repeatable inspection cycle. And we empowered the data by getting exceptions into the hands of the operations folks who need it the most.
