Description
This course reviews the high-tech tools available for capturing, creating, finding, and using information about facilities, assets, and customers. The course begins by reviewing Computerized Maintenance Management Systems (CMMS) and the technology available to collect equipment data for use in a CMMS. The course looks at the types and formats of equipment information and on-line sources for gathering them and methods of putting utility-specific equipment and process information on-line for easy access and updating.
An overview of Computer Aided Design (CAD) drawing tools, and their connection to Geographical Information Systems (GIS) is presented. Locating remote and underground facilities using mobile devices, Global Positioning Systems (GPS), and GIS maps and drawings are discussed. The course then looks at the communication technologies available for communicating with, and collecting data from, remote sites
