City of Anaheim PUD Employs ArcFM and SAGE-FEI
The city of Anaheim Public Utilities Department (PUD; Anaheim, California, U.S.) is in production with Miner & Miner's (M&M; Fort Collins, Colorado, U.S.) ArcFM and customized Web-based application SAGE-FEI (Stand Alone Geodatabase Editor-Field Equipment Inventory).
In need of a state-of-the-art GIS solution, PUD selected ArcFM and ArcGIS for a facilities management system. As part of the solution, the utility also requested a single source of information for its capital plant and equipment data in order to feed its work management system. To fulfill this requirement, M&M built SAGE-FEI, which leverages the openness of the ESRI technology by using multiversioned views for remotely viewing and editing equipment-specific tabular data that reside in the ArcSDE geodatabase.
Utility operations personnel can use a series of Web pages to enter equipment information directly into the GIS. SAGE-FEI also uses GIS-connected network data to provide accurate connection details such as circuit number and substation information to people throughout PUD. The city's Utility Service Center uses the system to input new equipment records and track 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.
