Electricity Utility.

The Problem

Schematic Generation was used to enable the client to use data from their GE Smallworld GIS as a basis for populating an ENMAC control room system.

The Solution - Data Consultancy, Bespoke Software Development and SwERVE.

After a period of consultancy to build an in depth knowledge of the client's data and requirements, Intelliscan set about using the SwERVE tool to extract the data from the Smallworld database.

The extracted data was used to create connectivity artificially based on proximity, and from this a geo-schematic was created. The connectivity information was also used to construct composite symbols from the individual collections of objects in the original GIS e.g. an electrical sub-station composite symbol was built from the individual bus-bar, switch, circuit breaker etc objects used to represent the sub-station in the original GIS.

The geo-schematic data was then formatted into DXF files for input to the ENMAC system.

The Result

Our client was able to 'fast-track' the implementation of their control room system, using the geo-schematic generated from the Smallworld GIS as a starting point.
