Routine field maintenance, repairs or construction are daily activities for utility operations. Mitigating safety risks to field crews is always a top priority. That includes risks from severe and rapidly changing weather. Crews working in bucket trucks, cranes or even helicopters are extremely sensitive to high winds and changing wind patterns, especially when wind exceeds the crane safe operating parameters or lines start to swing. Extreme temperatures are increasing and extreme heat or cold can affect anyone, especially anyone with an already a pre-existing condition. Lightning poses high risk to crews on the ground and especially to those on poles, cranes or other high platforms, making it critical to know when lightning is approaching their area to allow time to get to a safe area.
With Indji Watch, you have the ability to set extreme temperature, high wind or lightning thresholds important to your organization. Indji Watch will monitor the set parameters and alert you if these thresholds are forecasted to be exceeded in the next few hours or even 48 hours in advance, so you have advance notice of weather threats that could impact the safety of your crews.
Indji Watch empowers utilities to help their employees operate more safely and efficiently with the access to:
- An ASSET THREAT WINDOW showing a live view of all current threats based on the utility’s own transmission lines, substations and structures
- ADVANCED FORECAST RADAR providing storm forecasts up to 8 hours in advance for maintenance planning
- A MOBILE CLIENT that shows current threats in relation to your assets (not just a weather map)
- CUSTOMER SELECTED POINT FORECASTS allowing the user to select alert thresholds for extreme winds and temperatures
