EPE Selects ArcFM Solution for GIS and Graphical Design
El Paso Electric Co. (EPE; El Paso, Texas, U.S.) has selected Miner & Miner's ArcFM Solution together with ESRI's ArcGIS core technology to provide a streamlined system for facility management and design for its T&D unit.
The ArcFM Solution, including ArcFM, Designer, Conduit Manager and Network Adapter, will be implemented on an integrated platform to enable EPE to extend and maintain its network. The solution will interface to the work management application STORMS from Worksuite, to support design initiation and closing, job status updates, and estimate the cost, time and materials for new construction to ensure adherence to EPE standards. The solution will also interface to the Windmil application from Milsoft to support engineering analysis of the GIS network.
The project began in January 2005. Data conversion is scheduled to be complete in the fall and the rollout for Designer begins in the Las Cruces, New Mexico, area in April 2006.
The complete ArcGIS and ArcFM Solution will enable designers to provide a streamlined and cost-effective way to enter in new services and line extensions, and will support up to 50 designers, 8 editors and approximately 240 web-enabled casual users.
