Field Force Data Visualization
An integrated field force data
visualization and integration
tool for managing work and
maintaining any asset in the field.
Leveraging CIM, Augmented Reality and Context Aware GIS

Traditional Point-to-Point Integration
Characteristics• Complex environment• High integration costs• High maintenance costs• Message tracking – non-
existent• Guaranteed delivery –
non-existent• Frequent “broken”
interfaces
There is no “leverage” of the information being exchanged

Typical Standards Base Integration
Characteristics• Enterprise semantic model• Little or no custom code• Lower integration cost• Lower maintenance costs• Message tracking• Guaranteed delivery• Reliable
Messages are agnostic of their origins

EPRI’s Polaris Program – Driving Technology InnovationReport Number - 1024696“With suitable application code and or input signal conditioning, PED’s have the potential for:”
• Power quality monitoring • Locating arcing utility hardware• Magnetic and electric field sensing• Handheld multi-meter applications• Vibration and thermal noise
measurement• Vehicle charging station mapping• Data acquisition/storage/transmittal• Demand response management• Hardware condition and security
monitoring• Asset tracking and GPS locating• Training and portal of instructional
documents to the field

Field Force Data Visualization
The Issue:• Access to real-time data in the
field has not progressed• Getting data to the field is too
expensive• Getting the data from the field is
too cumbersome• The applications don’t interop• Data is not accurateThe Impact:• Potentially dangerous situation.• Work is not efficient• Decisions in the field suffer
Multiple applications in the field isn’t a great leap forward

Field Force Data Visualization
EPRI Solution:• Build on a light weight,
inexpensive platform.• Leverage augmented reality
capabilities.• Messaging using CIM to multiple
systems.• Two way communications to back
office systems.Value:• Lower cost of field force
automation.• Puts accurate data where it
needs to be.• Correct inaccurate GIS data.• Spurs CIM development.

Standards Leveraged by FFDV
Standard TitleIEC 61968-3 Network OperationsIEC 61968-4 Record and Asset ManagementIEC 61968-6 Maintenance and ConstructionIEC 61968-8 Customer SupportIEC 61968-9 Meter Reading and ControlIEC 61968-10 Other Systems (e.g., ERP)IEC 61968-11 CIM Extensions for DistributionIEC 61968-13 RDF Distribution model exchange

Typical Elements of a Work Request
• Work ID• Location• A bill of materials (BOM)• An estimated time of
completion is calculated and a start or completion time is calculated.
• Crew type (based on skill sets or roles)
• Detailed work tasks

Open Source Layered Approach
• Work tasks are broadly defined
• With CIM / MultiSpeak, the data may be obtained from multiple data repositories and server locations
• Open Source primary layer
• Can be used across departments
Tiered Approach Means More Power and Flexibility

What About Security?
• Platform (iOS) Security– Low level system calls not allowed– App isolation – each app in its own “sandbox”– Library randomization– Encrypted drive– Password protected
• Network Security– SSL/TLS with X.509 certificates
• Application Security– Encrypted data exchanges– Strong log in
21© 2012 Electric Power Research Institute, Inc. All rights reserved.
Benefits
• Inexpensive to deploy• Inexpensive to maintain• Applications
– Asset maintenance manuals– Damage assessment– Asset information access– Switching communications– Work-order information flow– Real-time system status
validation – Visualizing faults in the field
Field Work Becomes Easier and More Efficient

Conclusion
• CIM messages, being agnostic of origin, can be leveraged beyond the back office
• Applications can drive the development of the CIM• CIM can be the cornerstone to providing vendor neutral
visualization of data– In the field– In the operations center
• The combination of CIM, Augmented Reality, and Context Aware GIS provides powerful integration tools in the field
