Ensure Safe and Compliant Grid Operations with Automated Switching Orders
Gain total visibility over your power generation assets. IPS®EAM combines secure, reliable planning and monitoring tools for your entire infrastructure. From intelligent commissioning to decommissioning, we ensure your assets perform safely.
Switching Order Management is a critical component of the OMS, designed to manage the complex processes required to ensure safe operating conditions for grid elements subject to disconnection requests. This specialized software solution ensures that all switching activities are executed with precision, compliance, and maximum safety for field crews and utility personnel.
Fully compatible with both the Planned Outage Management and Unplanned Outage Management modules, our Switching Order Management software applies its robust functionalities to all types of outages, ensuring a unified and consistent approach to grid safety across your entire organization.
Switching Order Management enables the automatic creation of outage and clearance zones. The system defines borders and sets appropriate tags, ensuring that all affected areas are clearly identified and secured before any work begins. This automation eliminates manual errors and significantly reduces the time required to prepare for switching operations.
The system can send real-time notifications when an outage occurs. SMS, e-mail, or call announcements can be easily configured to ensure that all relevant stakeholders—from field crews to executive management, are informed instantly, reducing response times and improving coordination.
Safety is paramount in switching operations. Our software provides a secure mechanism for authorization, ensuring that only qualified and authorized personnel can approve and execute switching orders. It also tracks all activities during the process, maintaining a detailed operational log for compliance, auditing, and post-incident review purposes.
Switching Order Management is fully integrated with the broader IPS®OMS ecosystem. Whether you are scheduling a planned maintenance activity or responding to a forced outage, the switching order functionalities are readily available and seamlessly connected to your CIM-based network topology and asset data.
Provide secure conditions for safe operation on disconnected elements, protecting field crews from electrical hazards.
Maintain detailed logs of all switching activities, authorizations, and clearance orders to meet industry standards and audit requirements.
Automate the creation of clearance zones and tags, reducing manual errors and saving valuable time during outage events.
Apply switching order functionalities consistently across both planned and unplanned outages for a cohesive operational approach.
Visualize switching orders within CIM-based grid diagrams, ensuring all stakeholders have a clear understanding of the network status.
Don’t compromise on safety when managing complex switching operations. Our Switching Order Management System is designed to provide the control, confidence, and context you need to execute switching orders without fault, every time.
