Outage, damage and storm assessment software

Automated Field Design

Field workers use GSI AssetManager in the office, in the truck and in the trench on tablets, laptops, cell phones or Windows mobile devices.

Storm Assessment A mobile solution used by electric utilities for outage damage assessment in major storm events and routine damage reporting.

GSI AssetManager's Storm Assessment module makes it easier for assessors to record equipment damage and crew requirements, and communicate the assessment data to dispatchers or crews without radio traffic. The system also includes a web portal that provides functionality for assigning incidents and hazards to scouts and tools to estimate restoration time based on the field assessment.

With accurate storm assessment, utilities can more appropriately:

Spot materials for repair

Provide customers with reliable information

Coordinate crews resulting in quicker restoration

GSI Storm Assessment and your Outage Management System GSI Storm Assessment is designed to complement your OMS by optionally downloading events through a high volume systems interface.

With GSI Storm Assessment in the field:

Dispatchers are given an early determination of how many crews to call in from neighboring service centers or mutual assistance partners

Dispatchers have the information to decide on the most effective utilization of crews

Service centers, specifically storeroom personnel, can easily determine the materials and equipment needed to restore service

With GSI Storm Assessment in the office:


	Coordinators can assign incidents and hazards to field assessors.	Dashboards and reports keep management updated on progress of restoration.	Work packets show location and extent of damage along with map data.
