Network and Sensor Deployment Leveraging insight for effective Network Operations Highlights > Real Time mapping of events outlines exactly where deployment problems are occurring. > Work order tracking and analysis improves forecasting of deployment schedules and supports on time delivery. > Registration and lifecycle management ensures that devices are monitored for their entire lifecycle – from deployment and onward. Benefits > Grid Director provides independent, third party validation of meter installation (registrations and communications). Success through insight and control The Grid Director Network and Sensor Deployment application supports planned, ad-hoc, piecemeal or mass deployments of network devices, meters and other sensors attached to the network. By providing a contextualized view of all activity on an emerging network, deployment teams can create the most effective plans possible and track against them in real time or retrospectively. > Improved visibility of deployment projects allows utilities to resolve deployment issues quickly. With detailed views and analyses of work orders, work activities, device installation and device provisioning status, deployment teams and network operators can view status of results-vs-plan, as raw data or within a variety of flexible contextualized views. > Better communication and visibility with vendors and internal stakeholders improves issue escalation and reduces resolution time. Interactive Workbenches and Operational Monitors extend these capabilities even further by providing users with the information they need, right when they need it – be it provisioning status rates, deployment progress, or workflow insight, and monitoring capabilities provide a constant view of the operational status of assets deployed to the field. > Better planning tools and shared insight reduce or eliminate supply chain delays. The Network and Sensor Deployment application helps mitigate risk by ensuring detailed, contextualized, and actionable information is available to key stakeholders. Planners and operators are empowered to optimize field deployment activities, creating and maintaining the clearest path towards a fully deployed and optimized Smart Grid system. GD-APPL-NETDEPLOY-0410 The Grid Director Network and Sensor Deployment application offers a rich set of tools to manage and support the complex task of deploying a smart grid network with intelligent intermediary and end-point devices. By providing information-rich maps, overlays, and structured dashboards, business stakeholders are able to stay informed about progress, with the right information at hand to be responsive and make quick adjustments to any deployment schedule. > Real time mapping of the network, and all sensor equipment on it, provides a rich visual presentation of the deployment status. > Registration and provisioning views provide detailed information on the connectedness of the intelligent end devices, in real-time. > Comprehensive dashboards and key performance indicators puts the right information in front of decision makers to help ensure optimal planning. > Contextualized event correlation distills data into actionable information decreasing the time to troubleshoot problems. > Integration with head-end application servers and customer records enables the entire distribution process to begin from a solid foundation where customer records are accurately associated with network assets. > Scalability is assured with operational systems currently supporting well over 5 million intelligent endpoints and billions of data points. > Customized data integration and overlays can help in technology decisions by presenting various scenarios for network deployment options. Key Features Real-time Mapping Visualizing the network with relevant overlays from multiple data sources helps inform all decisions. Event Correlation Events are contextualized, grouped, and processed in order to provide meaningful and actionable information to the user. User Operator Control Operators see relevant information, and are not distracted by the noise of the network. Investigative Search Instant powerful and contextualized search aids in rapid correlation and aggregation across multiple complex datasets, helping aid in effective decisions.
