Transform how your assets perform 

Asset Management  
Combining technical solutions with asset performance best practices, CGI OpenGrid Asset improves and optimizes asset management by centralizing the complex analytics and insight from data to transform how asset information is collected and analyzed to deliver optimal performance. Its flexible and streamlined approach uses real-time performance data and predictive models to guide your asset management decisions that drive measurable improvements to daily operations and long-term capital planning.

Asset Investment Planning
Maintaining your current assets, building new infrastructure due to rising demand, or managing regulatory requirements are just some of the variables to consider when evaluating your asset strategies for long-term financial optimization. CGI OpenGrid Asset incorporates advanced Asset Investment Planning (AIP) to predict, propose, and prioritize your asset maintenance, management, and investment decisions. It ensures that your maintenance, repair, and replacement decisions are grounded on actual asset conditions and the criticality to your operations. 

Redefine operational confidence for your asset-intensive operations 
Lapses in operating and maintaining assets can bring about expensive repairs, reliability issues, shortened asset life, and possibly substantial regulatory compliance fines. Through digitization and prioritization, CGI OpenGrid Asset provides an immediate boost in operational performance optimization, aligning business processes with compliance standards such as ISO 55000, PAS 55, and Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM) strategies.

Proactively reducing costs and risk through improved communications, automation, and performance, CGI OpenGrid Asset will deliver optimal workflows based on the criticality and health of your assets and infrastructure.

Seamless mobility, anytime, anywhere 

As customer demands increase and the coordination of managing field resources gets more complex, it becomes clear how the value and impact mobile enterprise technology can have on field operations and the organization as a whole. Maximizing your organization’s mobile platform with extended hardware flexibility can help respond to the ever-growing variety of mobile devices available and provide even more opportunities to improve collaboration, communication, and the information they provide to their resources out in the field.

CGI OpenGrid Field solution brings enterprise-level digitization of work order management, fieldwork execution, and data collection to manage a complex array of work types across a diversified mobile workforce. It ensures your workforce gets the information they need when they need it.  A client-server visualization architecture offers a zero-install footprint for seamless access and sharing of operational data without device, hardware, and software limitations. 

CGI OpenGrid Field will ensure your process and data is consistent throughout your work order lifecycle. Work order management becomes streamlined as field technicians gain access to a collaborative flow of critical information while integrated maps help visualize their work in relation to the utility’s asset infrastructure. Configurable user-defined forms are easily tailored to respond to variable business processes, data capture requirements, and resource needs to maximize real-time analysis, monitoring, and work order assignments.

Mobilize and digitize your fieldwork execution 
Field Supervisors on the go will know where their team is, when work is delivered as well as leverage immediate access to real-time information about the performance of the field operation. CGI OpenGrid Field helps supervisors quickly manage evolving challenges by communicating directly with resources where supervision and safety considerations are essential.  CGI OpenGrid Field excels at providing a complete digital experience for your field workers, empowering them with access to the right information, at the right time, and in the right context so they can focus on completing their work and satisfying their customers.

Improve grid reliability from initial detection to full restoration

With an uptick in severity of storm events, coupled with the need to modernize the grid to strengthen network reliability and safety, flexible modeling capabilities and high-performance incident grouping and analysis are essential to enhancing power distribution operations.  

CGI OpenGrid Network is a fully integrated network management solution designed to help utilities automate and optimize the outage restoration lifecycle—from initial detection to full restoration. Our digital solution strengthens your outage response and network management process with a real-time critical visibility and control for managing large-scale, high-volume outage events.  Driven by a sophisticated and transparent connectivity model, it provides intelligent analysis of outage call details, incident information, and telemetry data to help you with critical decision-making and resource allocation for emergencies and everyday operations.  

Advanced automation optimizes the management, preparation, simulation, and validation of complex switch plans, including supporting objects such as tags, permits, safety documents, and planned interruption notifications.  Network management operations can be recorded against as-built or as-is versions of the electric network based on topology imported from geospatial systems (GIS) and supplemented by real-time data from Supervisory Control & Acquisition (SCADA/EMS) or Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) systems.

Optimize your outage response and restoration ahead of the storm.
As utilities move from operational to tactical to strategic planning, CGI OpenGrid Network becomes a critical component of its core operations in order to deliver the needed connectivity between its customer-, network-, and organization-centric business objectives.
