Challenges
Utilities are contending with growing requirements for mobile data access but streamlining field operations is hampered by point solutions running on various types of devices, disparate processes, and data conversion and transfer. They need to get more from their system investments, help crews work more efficiently, and reduce operating costs. Mapping and asset information is critical to work execution in the field, while infrastructure data must remain secure and reliable in order to protect customers, the public, and crews.

Solutions
Schneider Electric’s Field Mobility solutions extend the value of your existing system investment with focused, intuitive tools that give field crews real-time access to work orders, safety documents, and geospatial and schematic representations of asset data so they know exactly what work to perform, where it’s located, and can easily record and communicate work status and results. Field Mobility solutions unify field work processes, support a multitude of work types, and give the control centers timely and accurate feedback from the field that improves the quality of information in enterprise systems. In addition, Field Mobility solutions enforce standard-based and corporate policies to ensure the security of asset infrastructure data. -
