SWAF411 CE*GIS Quick Map Upgrade and New “Underground Locating Map” Implementation – ComEd, An Exelon Company; Chicago, Illinois (September, 2008)
<< |
| |
On July 3rd, 2008, MIT, Inc. was awarded a GIS project by ComEd, an Exelon Company; Chicago, Illinois, to:
- Upgrade ComEd CE*GIS Quick Map 321 version (MIT Quick Map 321 version) to MIT Quick Map 411 version,
which is compatible with GE Smallworld GIS SWAF411 version. CE*GIS Quick Map includes two map types - “Area Map” and “Sparse Area Map”.
- Implement new underground locating map, which includes two map types - “UG Locating Map” and “Sparse UG Locating Map”.
CE*GIS Quick Map is the implementation and customization of the purchased MIT’s Quick Map product. Please refer to “Products” page for details.
The CE*GIS Quick Map 411 version includes, but not limited to, the following functions:
- Map tracking functions allow CE*GIS map user to be able to ONLY print or save (PDF format) the map pages which have the electric facilities data changes. The map tracking capability dramatically reduces the print out of paper maps since there are thousands of map pages existing in the CE*GIS system.
- Display the neighbor map names at the edge of the map page allowing the user to more easily identify the neighbor map sheet.
- Display all feeder names at the edges of each map when the feeders cross the map boundary.
- Display the political and operational regions where the map page belongs to, such as county name, township name, city name, area office, reporting office and regional office.
- Display all objects with “internal design/world”, such as substation, manhole, vault, switch gear, building.
- Etc.,
The project was successfully completed one week ahead of the schedule and the new
CE*GIS Quick Maps 411 version were deployed system-wide in September 2008.

SRP (Salt River Project) Chose MIT's EZ-Plot for Its Distribution Design Automation (DDA) System – Salt River Project; Tempe, Arizona (April, 2008)
>>
In October of 2007, the SRP (Salt River Project) GIS team decided to choose MIT's EZ-Plot product as the plotting application for its Distribution Design Automation (DDA) system. The decision was made after dedicated market research and product comparisons by SRP IT and User support groups.SRP also hired MIT, Inc. as part of its implementation team to customize and enhance the EZ-Plot to meet SRP's unique work order design plotting requirements.With combined efforts from both the SRP and MIT teams, the EZ-Plot (DDA) version was successfully rolled out to SRP GIS in April, 2008.

SW410 CE*GIS Circuit Map Upgrade and Data Conversion – Exelon Energy; Chicago , Illinois (November, 2007)
>>
In August of 2007, MIT, Inc. was awarded a GIS project to upgrade Exelon Energy's CE*GIS Circuit Map to GE Smallworld GIS SWAF410 version, as well as to develop data conversion scripts to convert the original circuit map data to the new format.The project was successfully completed and the new circuit maps were deployed system-wide in November 2007. Exelon's upgrade schedule was very aggressive, however MIT, Inc. was able to deliver each milestone ahead of schedule and earned an “early delivery incentive” from Exelon.
The project included four major tasks:
- Upgrade the CE*GIS Circuit Map product from GE SW321 version to the standard Circuit Map SWAF410 version;
- Identify the original CE*GIS Circuit Map special “drawing functions” and then develop their corresponding “layout elements” in SWAF410 version;
- Identify the original CE*GIS Circuit Map add-on functions, and then choose:
- Do nothing, if it is covered by the new version;
- Do nothing, if it is no longer needed;
- Develop the same or similar functions in SWAF410 version
|
- Develop the data conversion scripts to convert the original CE*GIS Circuit Map data into the SWAF410 format.

GIS Data Field Inventory QA - Northeast Utilities; Hartford, Connecticut (March, 2006)
>>
In August of 2004, MIT was awarded a competitive bid to perform Quality Assurance /Quality Control (QA/QC) services for Northeast Utilities' comprehensive field inventory project. MIT performed 'in-the-field' QA of 10% of Northeast Utilities overhead and direct buried distribution system utilizing iPAQ hand-held units as well as a 100% phasing check of the system. MIT was able to mobilize this project within two weeks of notification after the project was awarded. The project was successfully completed in March of 2006.

NU (Northeast Utilities) Implemented MIT's Circuit Map and Contracted MIT to Create/Layout Circuit maps – Northeast Utilities; Hartford , Connecticut (May, 2006) >>
In April of 2005, Northeast Utilities purchased MIT's Circuit Map product to replace its original “Single Feeder View/One Line Maps”.
Northeast Utilities chose MIT, Inc. to implement, customize and enhance the product to meet its special “Single Feeder” requirements.
Northeast Utilities also contracted MIT, Inc. to create single circuit maps for the entire CL&P division consisting of over 1100 circuits.
In September, 2005, the implementation of Circuit Map (pilot) was successfully delivered to NU with sample maps created from 25 circuits chosen by NU.
In May of 2006, the Circuit Map product along with the maps for all of Connecticut 's circuits were deployed in NU production GIS environment successfully.
Quote from NU newsletter (May 12, 2006) titled “Benefits of new single circuit map tool”
“New single circuit maps will aid storm restoration
work, other activities
Using a new mapping tool …, NU's Geographic Information System (GIS)/Mapping team has created a more detailed and
updated single circuit maps to allow NU personnel to
more easily follow an electric distribution system
circuit, particularly during storm restoration efforts.
The Single Circuit Map tool that generates the maps
from the Smallworld mapping system will replace three
other mapping products, saving the company up to
$400,000 a year that would have otherwise been spent to
maintain the discontinued products.
The new single circuit maps offer greater detail than
previous multiple circuit maps by identifying single
circuits, corresponding street names, town and state
boundaries…”

In March of 2003, MIT, Inc. was awarded the GIS data migration project by National Grid to convert its existing electric data for the New England portion of National Grid's service area from Autodesk Vision GIS to GE Smallworld GIS. The original data contained about 1.2 million poles, along with all the other electric network data.
MIT, Inc. team members worked closely with the client's subject matter experts in the definition and documentation of migration data model mapping, migration rules, and annotation placement requirements. MIT, Inc. developed a process that leveraged MIT's in-house data migration engine to migrate Vision GIS data to GE Smallworld GIS. MIT was able to successfully convert over 99.9% of the database objects, attributes, and geometries with 100% customer satisfaction. Upon completion of the project, MIT also provided GE Smallworld experts to train the end users the new GIS platform.
