Accurate and up-to-date facility information has always been a key factor for utilities to increase productivity and improve customer satisfaction.  There are tremendous benefits of a spatially accurate GIS system that can incorporate current customer information, GPS technology, and both proposed and existing facility information.  These benefits are obvious when we realize that location-based data and customer information represent 80 to 85 percent of a utility's information requirements.

Daffron's GIS solution allows utilities to leverage the investment in their current facility information by integrating their existing facility maps with spatially accurate, cost effective ortho imagery.  The result is a highly accurate and functional GIS system with integration to Daffron's CIS and WinStake software (Daffron's staking and work order automation application).  This enterprise-wide GIS solution will enable employees to make better and faster decisions and improve service to customers.

Features
To-scale, digital facility maps
Highly accurate (6" resolution), GPS enabled ortho imagery
Real-time integration to your customers' (CIS) records
Attribute tables for units of plant that enable multiple asset tracking methods (by in-service date, by life span, by foreign attachments, etc.)

Benefits
Spatially accurate system maps facilitate design functions such as engineering analysis and load management.
Ortho imagery instantly provides Real World Coordinates for existing plant and facilities providing a crucial foundation for on-going GPS data collection.
Access to current CIS customer information.
Facilitates planning & design with access to parcel data, right of way and easement information.
Integration with Outage Management and Field Force  Automation
WinStake integration
