City of Anaheim Public Utilities Department Uses ArcFM™ and SAGE-FEI for
Equipment Tracking
Municipal Utility deploys web-based application in conjunction with Miner
& Miner’s ArcFM
Fort Collins, CO -- The City of Anaheim Public Utilities Department (PUD)
is currently in production with Miner & Miner’s (M&M) ArcFM and customized
web-based application, SAGE-FEI (Stand Alone Geodatabase Editor - Field
Equipment Inventory). The City of Anaheim Public Utilities Department is a
municipal utility serving approximately 105,000 electric customers in a 50
sq. mile service area in southern California.
In need of a state-of-the-art GIS solution, the PUD selected ArcFM and
ArcGIS for a facilities management system. As part of the solution, they
also requested a single source of information for their capital plant and
equipment data in order to feed their work management system (WMS). To
fulfill this requirement, M&M built SAGE-FEI, a web-based application that
leverages the openness of the ESRI technology by using multi-versioned
views for remotely viewing and editing equipment-specific tabular data
that reside in the ArcSDE geodatabase.
Prior to SAGE-FEI, the PUD keyed the same information into two
disconnected databases. Now, utility operations personnel can use a series
of web pages to enter equipment information directly into the GIS. The
SAGE-FEI web application also uses GIS-connected network data to provide
accurate connection details such as circuit number and substation
information to people throughout the PUD.
The City’s Utility Service Center uses the system to input new equipment
records and keep track of equipment location from the time of purchase
until disposal. The Environmental Inspection department enters information
on PCB testing to monitor the PCB content of its devices and generate
standard reports from the database as required by the State of California.
Access to SAGE-FEI has been opened to all City employees.
“SAGE-FEI has streamlined a core part of our asset management process and
provides more accurate and timely asset data throughout the organization,” said Jason Kornoff, Electric GIS Analyst for Anaheim Public Utilities.
