Utilities frequently get audited or need evidence to prove that they are in compliance. Examples, why this is sometimes required, are: safety violations explosions power outages gas leaks (car) accidents Atlas tracks every single user interaction on a record. Whether that is when a user viewed a record, saved an inspection or completed a survey. [...]
Almost any modern application nowadays supports some form of push notifications or messages. Simpler applications limit this to a message that a new release or a patch is available. We at Cliffhanger Solutions took that much further. Atlas now supports push messages for: New work or jobs assigned. Plots generated. Reports are ready for download. [...]
This App provides real time updates to utility crews from GE's PowerOn™ outage management system during weather events and other outages. Since data can be shared between crews and office staff in real time, outage restoration times can be reduced and service to customers improved. Live dashboards provide additional information about the extent of the [...]
An essential requirement for GIS is network analysis (a.k.a. tracing or routing). With Cliffhanger having finalized its tracing module for Atlas, we are now offering a complete and new GIS platform with smooth migration paths available from ESRI and GE Smallworld. Atlas is not only data agnostic, but it is also schemaless. This means that [...]
For the longest time, tile based systems were the standard. Google, Bing and Open Street Maps still use it. This means that when you look at a map, you are really looking a bitmap image. If the map is tile based, the total map is stitched together from smaller square tiles, typically 256x256 pixels. Because [...]
Until recently, working in the field could be a chore if you were to lose you network connection. You either couldn't work or you had to wait a long time to load data, which could be outdated by the time you need it in the field on your local device. For this cliffhanger, we [...]
Intro to Map Tiles Map tiles are used to show background or other data layers that need to be fast. Instead of rendering the whole viewport from scratch each time a zoom or pan takes place, map tiles show a mosaic of small images (typically 256x256 pixels) to build the whole viewport. Each map tile [...]
GE PowerON outage management system is a complicated piece of software operated by trained technicians and engineers. So what about the rest of us? Say hello to the Atlas PowerON module. Atlas allows to you visualize PowerON data in real-time, making valuable outage information available to authorized individuals in your organization. In PowerON, getting to [...]
Shortly after deploying our A.I. module, an anomaly was detected. The tool, designed to assist utilities to optimize inspections through machine learning, is using a classification model to separate 'good' poles from 'bad' ones. This can then be used to predict which (un-inspected) poles should be inspected next, saving time and money, preventing outages etc. [...]
Need to have a better insight into your GE Smallworld usage? Want to know what functionality's used, for how long and how often? Want to know how many plots were made last month? Don't know if it's worthwhile upgrading your entire Smallworld implementation to 5.x? Our tool can help! Now that we have done a [...]
