Aclara will integrate both ProField and Smart Grid Professional Services into its portfolio under the brand name Aclara SGS.
In the past, aside from engagements involving Aclara, Profield has also been used in in projects involving other major meter manufacturers, including Elster, Landis+Gyr, and Silver Spring Networks.
Consolidated Edison, along with its sister subsidiary Orange & Rockland Utilities, selected the Apex CoVantage SGS solution in October 2016 for the installation of electric smart meters and gas smart modules as part of AMI deployments across both utility’s service territories. Approximately 3.9 million electric meters and 1.3 million gas meters are involved.
Herndon, VA-based Apex CoVantage designed Profield to optimize AMI field crew training, meter inventory tracking, and overall workflow, providing documentation of all steps taken on-site during the meter installation process. The solution has been meeting a long-standing need to ensure work efficiency, quality, and safety during full-scale AMI deployments--while utilities typically replace only a small portion of their meters every year, during these large AMI deployments, additional (third party-based or temporary) field crews are often involved.
