Replication on a budget
Track: Electric Utilities
Authors: luke wenschhof

Fairport Electric, a municipal electric utility in upstate NY, came up with a creative, low cost solution to meet NYS Public Service Commission inspection regulations. They capture inspection data in the field through ArcGIS/Microsoft Access Runtime (free) and synchronize the edits back to the enterprise using ArcGIS, Model Builder, Python scripting, and Add-ins…using only ArcGIS Basic licensing throughout. The tools use low cost, off the shelf technology and are simple and seamless for users.
