UT422-1: Streamlining the Design through Asset Management Workflow at Anchorage Municipal Light & Power
Session: UT422-1
Title: Streamlining the Design through Asset Management Workflow at Anchorage Municipal Light & Power
Instructors: Chris Nailer with Simona Keith and Ray Pearce
Course Description: Round-tripping information between a CAD design solution, GIS system, and asset management system (AMS) is a goal many utilities aspire to. Streamlining workflows and increasing productivity are key objectives for most organizations. These goals can be realized by reducing re-drafting between the design system and the GIS or by reducing duplicate data entry and maintenance tasks between the GIS and the AMS. This approach also improves data quality and accuracy with the potential for further operational efficiencies. Anchorage (AK) Municipal Light & Power has undertaken a project to deploy a new GIS (Autodesk® Topobase™), integrate it with their existing design solution (Autodesk Utility Design) and the existing asset management system (PowerPlant). This class will discuss some of the issues faced, lessons learned, and best practices for designing and implementing such a project and present the solution architecture and integration methods used.
