Taking Core Products a Step Further

USG Software and Customized Applications

USG Tools

• Data Model Independent Tools for ArcGIS

– Downstream Trace Report

– Phase Change Tool

– Custom Queries

– FP Tool

– Field Generator

Downstream Trace Report

• Based on a user selected start point• Runs a downstream trace• Reports the number of

connected consumers and the cumulative transformer kVA

• Requires your ArcGIS system to have a geometric network.

Phase Change Tool• Based on a user

selected start point• Runs a downstream

trace• Changes the conductor

and equipment phases from the selected start point downstream.

• Requires your ArcGIS system to have a geometric network

After

Custom Queries• Create and save custom

attribute queries• Increases productivity by

saving queries that the end user uses on a regular basis

• Can be configured to allow users to enter a parameter or criteria value each time they are executed.

FP Tool

• Feature Placement Tool• Select and save snapping

criteria for every feature layer in the map

• Select a feature type to place and begin placing features.

• Saves time by turning a multi-step process into one step.

Field Generator

• Extension for ArcCatalog• Add identical fields to one or more tables in a

geodatabase• User can specify

the field properties• A value can be

specified to be populated in that field for all of the existing records in the table(s)

Customized Applications

• Plotting Routines (Map Book Creation)• Importing CIS data to the GIS System• Importing Equipment data from the USG

Maintenance Programs• Power Fail Analysis• Not Logged in 4 Days Report• Peak Usage Downstream Trace• Transformer Sizing Application

Plotting Routine

• Automate the creation of map books

• Ability to zoom to a specific location at a specific scale

• Fills in all the necessary title block information

• Print out or print to file one or multiple map book pages

Importing CIS data

• Customer and service information imports from CIS exports

• Reduces data entry for consumer fields

• Allows for symbology to reflect current consumer data such as disconnected status and load management

CIS Text File Export

GIS Consumer Feature After Import

Importing Equipment Data

• Equipment data and maintenance records recorded in USG Maintenance Programs

• Data is then imported into the GIS System

• Reports show the difference between the Maintenance Programs and the GIS System

Power Fail Analysis

• Turtle Data is integrated with the GIS system

• Turtle meter status is updated for all consumers

• Symbology on the map is based on the consumer’s Turtle meter status

• Any consumer with a ‘Powered Down’ status shows up on the map in red

Not Logged in 4 Days

• Turtle Data is integrated with the GIS system• Reports meters and consumer information for

meters that haven’t logged in the last 4 days

Peak Usage Downstream Trace

• Based on a user selected start point• Runs a downstream trace• Report the consumers peak usage for seven

days and the total peak usage for the consumers

Transformer Sizing Application• Analyze the size of transformers compared to the

peak loads of consumers fed from those transformers

• Integrates GIS, CIS and Turtle meter data• Creates a report of transformers and consumer load
