Discover the quickest route to modernize your electric grid.

Hey, good morning and good afternoon everybody. First off, thank you for carving out an hour to join us as we show adaptive grids approach to certain use cases. However, before we begin, a bit of housekeeping. If at any time during the presentation you do have a question, just submit it through the webinar's question feature on the right-hand side of the screen. And also please note the webinar will be recorded and available after this event. Troy, if you'll go to the next one. This is just our standard presentation disclaimer, nothing too much to see here. So to put some name or to put some context on today's two voices and two faces, my name is Matt Roberts. I'm a sales director on the utilities team here at IQGeo. And I've spent my entire career working within utility software, focusing on solutions ranging from SCADA and ADMS to asset management intelligence systems. Troy, go ahead. Hey everyone. I'm Troy Frazil-Lewis, Product Manager for Utilities and Workflow Management Software here at IQGeo. My background comes from distribution, reliability and smart grid engineering with Florida Power and Light. And looking forward to demoing just a few of our network lifecycle enablement tools that we've been working on, which we'll hope to see. Troy Frazil-Lewis, Product Manager for Utilities and Workflow Management Services, which will hopefully help simplify a lot of the different workflows that you all work with on a daily basis. Troy Frazil-Lewis, Product Manager for Utilities and Workflow Management Services, So we're going to touch on a few things today. First, what IQGeo does, what we believe, and then what we mean when we say adaptive grid, followed by a demo from Troy over today's topic, use cases within adaptive grid. Closing the session is going to be a Q&A session. Troy Frazil-Lewis, Product Manager for Utilities and Workflow Management Services, So what do we do? At our core, our objective is building better networks. And this is typically the phrase where the field supervisor, the IT team, the GIS tech says, okay, what does that mean? Troy Frazil-Lewis, Product Manager for Utilities and Workflow Management Services, So what does that mean? And, you know, there can be some overlap, but it usually does mean something different to each utility. And at times it means something to each department within the utility. Troy Frazil-Lewis, Product Manager for Utilities and Workflow Management Services, So what does that mean? And then, you know, we're going to say that a better network is going to be providing network model access to the field crews, providing the ability to design in the field where some are going to say they need a better way to document and perform inspections. Troy Frazil-Lewis, Product Manager for Utilities and Workflow Management Services, Regardless of what your better network looks like, a better network is built by reducing the friction required to make the change. Troy Frazil-Lewis, Product Manager for Utilities and Workflow Management Services, So what we're going to do is, we're going to do a better way to make the change required to build your better network. Troy Frazil-Lewis, You see technically the effective FABA it's built in, you can create positive. Troy Frazil-Lewis, So our solutions are designed with four key tenets at their forefront. needing to change the underlying modeling technology. Anyone on this call who's affected by FERC order 881 and the line ratings, you guys are all adding newly created devices throughout your system, and you need to model those devices. And simply put, your technology cannot limit you in modeling those assets. Second is mobility. So traditionally, mobility, it's always been thought of as an afterthought. And oftentimes, something almost seemingly thrown together at the end of a project at the end of a software development cycle. So we at IQGO, we do the inverse of that. And you'll often hear us say IQGO is mobile first. And for well over a decade, we've understood the most efficient way to document and complete work is from the user's device on their hip or in their truck. And it's not the computer in the office. Third is adaptable workflows. So updating legacy assets, changing regulatory requirements, and then evolving business processes and business systems, those all result in the need to change how we work. Some of these changes, of course, can be prepared for while others are seemingly coming from the blue. But in either case, we enable you, the user, to make these modifications or create those new workflows. Lastly, we believe that a successful platform is open and interoperable. And of course, all software providers see and present themselves as the center of your universe. We think we see ourselves a bit differently by being the place where your work is done, but also being the system that enhances your existing system investments. So whether it's connecting to your outage management system for outage response, or interfacing with your asset management system for updating compatible units. IQGO understands that your utility success relies on integrating those systems to your workflows and not closing off from them. So when Troy or I step into a utility, step on a call, what do we hear? So when we sit down, we hear and we see a lot of common things. So we go talk to the field crew member and they pull out their device. They show me the dozen or so apps, some homegrown, others from previous investments. They explain to me that, hey, this one's for poll inspections. This one's for right-of-way management. Well, this one's our read-only GIS viewer. And usually somewhere along the iterations of this app is this, someone on the IT team chimes up and they let us know that, hey, and by the way, we've got to manage each of these applications differently. And then, you know, a few of these were made by a gentleman or somebody who is no longer here. And guess what? Nothing was written down. And lastly, when we go talk to the executive team, they simplify the problem and they sum it up to saying, the amount of work we have to do is immense. The amount of work that we've already done, but it's sitting in stacks of paper and it's not in any system is also immense. How do we get ahead of this? So we took what we were hearing, we paired it with those product beliefs and that created the adaptive grid. So at one end of adaptive grid, IQ.GO mobilizes your existing GIS for online and offline use. On the the other end of the IQ.GO adaptive grid, IQ.GO becomes your network model and source of truth. So in between those two ends is today's topic. So managing and executing the work from the planning phase through to the responding to major events. So at the planning phase, adaptive grid enables you to create designs from your office, computer or mobile device while supporting a staking workflow where the field device can be paired with an external GPS, enabling you to accurately create the points and spans needed for a design job. So that's the manual process, but we've also helped the utilities with automated designs. And just recently we automated an overhead to underground distribution line project. So regardless if it was a manually created or automatically created design, the designs then push through to the build phase where the construction team takes it and where adaptive grid enables them to view that design, act on it, construct it, but also make red lines directly from their device, or they can update the as-built location. Say the design of the trench was two feet to the right, but the build of it was six feet over to the left and they need to update that. They can do that from their device and this eliminates that stack of paper, all the data entry requirements and process that the written notes on the construction printouts create. For the operations and maintenance, we've we've helped utilities implement numerous forms of digital work execution. So sometimes that work is created within IQGO while other times that work is ingested from another system like SAP or Maximo. And within the operate and maintain the use cases, they range from from pole inspections, asset surveys, both aerial and ground right of way inspections all the way to vegetation management. And then on the far right side, the response scenarios, IQGO is where we highlight where we could work with other systems pretty seamlessly. We can integrate with your outage management system and that aids in both damage assessment and outage ticket completion. Also the added benefit of IQGO being web based is you can easily extend IQGO to a mutual aid crews helping with their efforts. So to bring this back to the field personnel and the IT member and executive team that we usually talk to, Adaptive Grid eliminates the approach of having a one-off app overload, then streamlines the overall IT management of the platform. But then is also the platform, as you can see from the planning to respond phase. It's the platform extensible enough to manage your work efficiently. So let's now I'll get you get you involved with a poll question. What do you guys see as the the biggest workforce challenge when adopting new technologies? So we'll let we'll let this poll go for for for a couple seconds and then we can we can close it out. If we want to go ahead and close the poll out and throw the results up on there. So a pretty pretty even split but with the too much reliability on on paper maps and processes being the being the the highest rated. We want to go back to the to the presentation now. And those those results that kind of for the lack of better words the one-third one-third one-third those are typically typically what we hear. And if we'll go on to the next slide. So after this I'm going to hand this over to Troy he's going to show you a few different use cases each designed to address those three challenges that we that we presented. So each of the use cases it's going to show that traditional paper processes that what was voted on most those can be completed digitally. The one and that one application can can complete numerous workflows across the life cycle and then prove through the technology itself that you know accepting the if it's not broke don't fix it mindset. While it's going to work now it's eventually going to prove costly as as requirements evolve. So Troy I'm going to go ahead and hand it over to you for the demos. Great thanks Matt. So I'm going to show you a couple demos as Matt has mentioned. The first one is going to be around digital staking and fuel design. Just to set the scene here you can see an iPad over here to the right. So our platform does work agnostically with both iOS and Android devices both mobiley on a tablet for example on a phone as well as on a desktop or a laptop. So this specific video that was recorded that I'll be showing you through the demo is the use case of an iPad and with this iPad you can kind of see the setup that we have going here. It is able to natively pair with external GPSs via Bluetooth. So the idea is to increase the precision and accuracy of your GPS location in the field and then be able to use that to fuel the digital staking process which I'll show you in this next video. So here you can see the IQ Geo environment. This is a set of data out in Tennessee and you can see a substation there and we'll just navigate a bit to the south where you can see our feeder coming down. And here we have a design where we're going to do a new single family home extension. So we're going to take this feeder here and we're going to extend our lateral off to the east. I'm just looking around kind of an AR VR mode here in the application. You can see that it actually shows you some context on your assets right there in the visual. We can pop that away and go back to our main screen. So after I click on the design, I'm now in the design so I can make changes to this design. We do have what's called the design palette. So this can be pre-configured to set up all your go-to features that you would regularly use for a certain job type. So for this example, a overhead line extension. And I'm going to go ahead and turn my GPS on there as well. So you can see my little GPS blue dot there with the direction. So you can see I have about five meters of accuracy here. This is a bit of a simulation so you can get actually sub-meter accuracy with the correct hardware here attached on. But really the show here is going to be around this point and span wizard that we have built into adaptive grid. So I'm going to go ahead into overhead mode. And still see I'm there standing next to my pole. And I'm going to click on the pole to do my takeoff. You can see that it already knows I'm connecting to this wood distribution pole. I can see all the specifics there, its attributes. And within this, either with this wizard or just ad hoc one feature at a time, I can either use these standard data model features. So this fuse, for example, right, nothing's really filled out. I can go ahead to my CU picker. It doesn't have any CUs pre-assigned to it already. I would have to do all that from scratch. Or from the palette that I previously showed you, those items all come through to the point and span wizard as well. So I already have some pre-designated features I can just quickly use here. Just to prove it out, I'll update the phasing. And I can click on assign CUs again. You can see that all these CU's already came through automatically for the fuse and the MOT labor units. I can go ahead and save that and you'll see that they come through the properties there as well. So with a couple clicks, all that comes through without any extra effort. Now, as I mentioned before, my GPS is enabled and you can see me as I start walking here out into this new field. So the new single family home we're going to be building here is actually going to be at the back of the property. So what we're going to have to do is about a 200 plus foot run of number two aluminum we're going to do. We're going to drop a pole and then we're going to do one more pole at an angle before we do the service drop to the house. So as I walk, you can see that it gives me the distance from my takeoff location. You can see it increasing there. And if I click this button here, add structure, current location, it uses my current GPS location to plot that pole. So I can now define that this fan specifically is going to be that run of conductor. I can give it a name, for example. So we'll just call this a lateral, I think number two aluminum, that's going to be a phase. I can designate a type, for example, everything you're going to see in these menus and the data model is configurable to your liking, as well as the symbology, for example, there's something that you're more used to seeing in your maps. I can assign CEUs to linear features as well. Since I'm using the palette items, those are all coming through for me automatically. I'm just clicking extra to show you that it's working. And here I'm going to place a pole. So I'm going to add a 40 foot tangent pole, which has the framing units on it as well. And then I'm going to keep walking. So the screen will actually automatically snap to keep you in the center. So you don't have to kind of start pinching and panning with your iPad while you're out walking around in the field. And notice it's also going to give you the bearing directions as well. So basically, if I was to walk a perfectly straight line, it would say zero degrees. And then any way left to right is going to go off that. So I'm at about a 10 degree line there and approaching out to about 200 feet. And I'll keep walking. And as I mentioned in this example, the idea is that we're going to be putting a new service out here in this corner past this line of trees. So actually, the point and span wizard, I wouldn't have to define the conductor phase again here. You'll notice there's no red asterisk next to this feature type. It will infer the upstream conductor that you spec if you don't redefine it. I just want to head here and redefine it again for this example to go through it one more time just so you can see how that works. Again, those CEUs are going to come through automatically. And then I'm also going to go ahead and define my final pole. So now I'm going to go down. I have another one here predefined for a dead end pole. So I'll have dead end framing and a guy wire on this one. Just to verify my CEUs all look good. And then finally, I'm going to add a transformer here. So I do also have a predefined 25 kVA aerial transformer. Phasing comes through for that automatically with the tool. It knows I'm coming off an A phase lateral. So I brought that through successfully. And I'll walk a couple last feet to designate where the actual meter can is going to be for this location on this new house. You can use that point again to drop it. So here, I don't have a predefined feature for secondary. So I can just use the standard one, click on secondary conductor, you can edit it, give it a name. The phasing again came through properly. And I could assign a CU there if I'd like to. A lot of times secondary might just be truck stock, for example. If you don't want to define it, it's completely up to you what you're defining and adding based on your engineering standards. So last but not least for this example, I will go ahead and drop a new premise or a building. So I have one for new premise, single family home, SFH. And then as you've noticed, as I've been doing for the transformer, and here again, for example, at each point, I can also add a piece of equipment. So I'll go ahead and just add the actual meter as well. So let's add a one phase 200 amp smart meter. And then I can edit the attributes on this as well. Phasing, for example, address, premise number, things like this can also be integrated to other systems, for example, like your CIS system or a work management system. If you have this, this detail coming through from somewhere else that can be integrated pretty easily. Just to check that that all looks good, it came through with a compatible unit for my meter. And I'll go ahead and save. Now this is going to do everything in one fell swoop. So you can see it brought through everything on this lateral extension here all the way from the pole out to my new intermediate pole. I added a fuse. And I can see details on that. Now the last thing I need to do is just to designate some connectivity here. So I'm going to tell it that this feeder out on the main road is upstream of it. And from that point on, my new line extension here is not just created in the system with all the proper compatible units, but it's also connected to the network in the network model. So just to prove that out, I can do an A phase trace from the meter upstream. I can also stop at protected devices, for example. So just for example, to stop at transformer, that'll take me to the transformer that I just added. I could upgrade that and say, take me to the next protective device, which will bring me up to the next fuse at the beginning of the lateral. And I can even say, take me back to the top protective device, and it'll take me all the way back to the circuit breaker at the substation. Awesome. So that was digital staking with the point and span wizard and our new geolocation functionality that is enabled within there. Next up, I'm going to continue on that design. So you'll see I'm in a similar area here. I'm going to navigate back down after my trace is done. And you can see the area that I just created. But next, I'm going to take this to the next step of the process. So if I turn on my designs, I can see my design boundary. What it's also doing in the system, it's automatically generating points and spans that can be referenced within the construction estimate and markup. So we actually have a nice set of tools built in here. So I can do a user report. I'm logged in as an admin in this specific demo. But if I do that, it's going to show every feature that was edited, inserted, updated, deleted, so on and so forth. In my window here, I can navigate to those specifics if I need to get more information. I'm also able to do some design checks and design validation with the network model. So this check design does a few things. It checks for design conflicts with the underlying model. And then also, there can be different design rules that you build in, for example, making sure there's no retired compatible units or no looping, for example. So that all checks out. Now, if there was any conflicts that came back, I could click this button that has some built in fixing capabilities, going to say no changes, because I didn't have any. I'm not going to click this yet, but the publish button can be integrated so that this can actually get published either to another system of record, or if this is your system of record, it would publish it to the working top ads bill. Now, it also is going to break down points in the spans. I'll just pause this so we can take a look here for a second. But basically, each of these points, point one, point two, point three, and as it scrolls down the span one, two, and three there, it's actually going to group all the CUs. So these are your compatible units that were coming through with the features as the design was being built. So those all come through automatically and sum up by point and by span. Those can be exported out on different reports and come through quite nicely. So this is great for doing estimates in the field. This specific video was recorded in the desktop, but all of this, I just want to remind you, works just as easily in the Anywhere mobile version, whether that's on an iPad or Android. So I'm also just showing off here the ability to do some basic markup. So if I want to give some field instructions within here, I can do it right here in the main map. I don't have to open Visio, I don't have to open AutoCAD, I don't have to take a screenshot of this system, and then, you know, or my other system of record and put it in some other type of markup system. It can all just be done right here in the browser, whether on the iPad, Android, or the desktop. So we'll say point one, we're going to install that 200-ant fuse. Let's fuse it at 60K. Span one, let's install 280 feet of number two aluminum. Just keep going here through the different points and spans to define our job. Install a 40-foot class III wood pole. Frame it with the pole top insulator, do some vertical tangent there. Now, each one as it goes, you can notice the different settings here, but you can change the color, you can change the size, you can change the background color. It's pretty flexible in terms of what you'd like to show. These are all just a layer, which you'll see here in a little bit, but this layer can be toggled on and off. It can be saved. Other users can access it to see it, right? It's not just saved in a Visio file on one of your designers desktop who, you know, maybe is on vacation or, you know, you can't access their device for a certain period of time, right? This is accessible to the rest of the organization with the proper administration level. So we'll add another note here for this next phase of primary. Nice to do this as well. I did add another picture here off to the right so you can see now these systems and feel free to reach out to us if there'd be a need for any recommendations on the different types of external GPSs that you can add to this type of software. But many of them do come with surveying great equipment in the sense of kind of a survey stick there that you can add the actual iPad in a mount. So you don't have to kind of hold it in your hand the whole time. It will just kind of snap on there and you have a nice bit of a mobile mobile desk if you will that you can make all these entries and changes if you were doing this on an iPad for example. I just wanted to kind of point out the ergonomics of this there. So a couple more points here and we are almost home free. Now I'm just adding text in this example. You can add lines, you can add scribbles, you can add photos, you can add polygons. So it's very open to what you need to do. Text is probably going to be the main item that you're going to be adding here. We have also done different integrations and use cases where we've added stencils, design templates. I'm sure each company has its own standard that they expect to see here. So that is something that we can definitely extend this to include. All right, so I think we are at the end here. Now what I can do is zoom out and just get everything so it nicely stacks within my design polygon. And now what I essentially have is a staking sheet, right? So I have all of my points, I have all of my spans, I have all of my features. And now this can be something I do see from the poll questions that paper is on most people's minds. And this is something that it enables the digital aspect of it, right? We can now do this digitally. You don't have to ever print this out if you don't want to. These can be layers that you toggle on and off and only use when you need. Or we can go ahead and do a print map. And for example, if there's still a crew that is determined to have it on paper so that they can kind of put it out on the hood of the truck and mark it up and do different things with it, you could do an overview. I don't actually print these, but right, I print an overview. I could print a detail page one, I could print a detail page two. So it's very flexible in terms of this interactive print view here that I can make the view look exactly like I want it to. And then I can go ahead and export it to PDF. I'm even able to change and say, maybe I just want a Google background. I don't want all that green from the Google Earth be there before I go ahead and print it out. It's very flexible in terms of what you are able to get the view like. And this also works with all the layers on the previous map page. So we do, it's not shown in this example, but we do also support the concept of secondary and tertiary geometries. So we do support the concept of offsets. If you maybe have more than one line or feeder running within a route and you need to offset one of them, the system does that automatically. So those are different layers you could toggle on and off as well, which would come through to this print view and the main map view here. So here at this point, now that you've done a report, you validated, you've made sure that everything looks good. You got your design print ready, you could publish this as mentioned, this could be pushed out to an alternative system of record. This could be your system of record and it could push it to the working top. And as I mentioned, just so you can see there, all of these do toggle on and off very nicely if you do need them or do not need them. Last but not least, I'm going to do one more demo, which is going to cover as-building and asset inspections. So I'm just to the north in that same demo area here, and I'm going to turn my GPS on again. So a lot of things we hear as well is kind of having to re-field check sites, right? You might design something, the system might change, you might go back out there and it looks completely different. So super easy to update the location and as both the final installation location, maybe you give a customer, you guys agree on where something's going to get installed for an underground trench for their service, for example, and you go out there and it's in a completely different place. So you can see my little GPS dot there and maybe I find this this hand hole, this 24 inch service hand hole is actually way off from where I show it. So I can just simply click on it, click on the editor tab and you see I have a little geolocation target here that I can tap on and then that's going to use my GPS location and snap it to that instead. So I click the tap, tap that button and I'll go ahead and save and you're going to see not only the hand hole feature itself but the entire route and conductor is going to snap to that as well. So you don't have to move things one by one anymore, it's all within this hierarchical network. So if you move a structure, everything else is going to neatly and nicely snap with it. All the route, the conductor, the conduit for example, it's all related. I'm going to walk up here to the new house that's being built here and I'm going to do this one more time. Maybe you found the meter can on the other side of the house after it was actually installed and once again you can do this and it'll it'll just snap over. Now with the external GPS, a lot of these also bring through a z-coordinate. That's just metadata so we could ingest that z-coordinate as well if you want to save an attribute of how deep a trench is. For example, if you're out checking either customer installed conduit or conduit that was installed with a depth that you'd like to track, that's definitely something that can come through as well. And finally here, I just want to kind of show off the smart forms that are natively built in. So this poll isn't actually broken here in this screenshot, but let's pretend it is. It's got something funky going on with Google Maps. But with add object here, I'm going to show you how configurable this is, but I'm just going to do an ad hoc inspection. So if you just have some, you know, I'm just in kind of a web viewer mode, I'm not within a design or anything here. Let's say we have a new inspection and we find this poll and it's cracked in half and we need to get a ticket in on it. So with the mobility and mobile first mindset of this platform, it's super easy to build these forms that could be mobilized to the field, collect any information. You can scan barcodes, for example. These things can collapse and expand based on different rule sets. I can add sketches, right? If say a crew, you know, they don't want to be bothered with a lot of this different technology and knowledge to kind of use this system. If it's as simple as, hey, can you draw me a little sketch here? We can do that too, right? So these inspections show up just like any other feature. I could upload an image, for example, if I want to take another picture of this poll. It is going to force me to have a location set, right? So we don't just have floating inspections that we don't know where they're actually tied to. Force the data. And I can go back and I can see this, right? It doesn't just disappear. I can see that sketch again. I can see the attachments, for example. This works for other use cases as well. I know Matt mentioned multiple on there. Also, that is a layer right there for the inspection. So I would see these little X marks for all of my different ad hoc inspections all around the map, for example, and I can search those in my box as well. I'm going to show one more example of just a potential kind of ad hoc form that you might want to fill out within the system for a different workflow. The beauty of this is, once you buy the IQgeo software and you have this up and running, you can basically create any type of form that supports any type of workflow that you could possibly dream of. So let's just imagine an outage ticket, for example, on a service. These can have different pages to them, right? Overviews can be integrated. So that's coming through with things like your outage management system, for example. You can even do things like automating or capturing data for meter swaps, right? A metering example, I went out and I pulled this meter, I installed this meter, here's all the details. And these are just kind of one-off examples as well for doing it in like a web viewer mode. We have full-blown support systems for things like tickets. So if you want to manage an entire ticketing workflow for your outage management system, we can do that. Or if you want to do things like yearly poll inspections, feeder patrols, we have recurring inspection systems as well that can take these kind of features to the next level. But last but not least, just showing you here in our configuration, right? So this is no code, just kind of able to build things out and add different attributes and lines and determine what those pop outs that I was just showing you are going to look like, right? So just to prove out that you can create any type of form for any type of workflow that you might need within the system without having to write a single line of code. Just as simple as going into config, clicking on the item, making sure you have the right attributes of whatever you want to capture, and then updating the layout to make sure that you have it looking like you want to for your for your users, whether in the field or in the office. So with that, I'm going to turn it back over to Matt, I think for poll question number two. Yeah, thanks Troy for outlining the design, build and maintain workflows. Let's go to a poll question and we've showed you a few for workflows. So now let's see which workflows your utility could improve upon. And just select all that apply. All right, I think we can can close the poll and look at the results. Okay, so we've got got a few and it's kind of the the three winners. Well, actually I oh, there we go. 50 57% across three of them on field design and stakeouts, completing as build updates and general network visibility. So I'm pleased that the three of those we detailed today with as with scheduled in ad hoc asset inspections. For those of you who did do the damage assessments in outage response workflows. I know Troy touched on it a bit, but if you wanted to see any more detail, feel free to to reach back out to us. So when it as it pertains to those those workflows, today's digital landscape, they've addressed those workflows through solutions that each have their own constraints. So some utilities have focused on building these out within GIS. And then that usually results in immense customization. And typically what we see is at the end of the day, while it's within GIS, you more or less created a one off application that's that's difficult to upgrade and manage. Other folks and other utilities, they use a forms based approach. So the the forms based approach, it lacks the geospatial intelligence. And most times they're they're typically the solution itself typically inherited from another industry making utility specific workflows cumbersome to create, and then ultimately your voice to the vendor unheard of. So both of those approaches, they've certainly served a purchase, they've digitized work. However, digitizing work is certainly not the same thing as digital transformation. So adaptive grid, we enable digital transformation by providing your entire enterprise an actionable view of the network to perform their work on, while also being extensible to handle both today and tomorrow's workflows. So if you'd like to chat with with Troy and I about your specific workflows, hold a demo for you, your utility, please let us know. Also, if you plan to be at Distributech or Tech Advantage, take a moment out of the day on the expo floor, stop by so we can introduce ourselves and put a face to a name. So at this point, Troy, if it's if it's okay with you, I think we can move on to the Q&A portion. Yeah, Troy, if you guys are ready, I can help with that. I've seen some questions come in. So please just make the decision on who answers and I'll get going. So the first one is, how do the designs slash updates get back to the source GIS? Yeah, I can take that one Crawford. Thanks. So getting back, if you're not using IQ Geo as a system of record and you want to take it back to another system of record, basically we have a couple different options depending what your system of record might be. So we do have a IQ Geo system to get changes posted back into Small World, for example, called IQ Geo Inside. That's something we use pretty widely. And then we also have a Esri specific ETL data. And we're doing a couple pilots around an FME workbench concept as well that is being finalized. So many options. It's going to look a bit different depending on each use case, but we do have some standardized processes and procedures to get this data back and into your proper QA, QC and posting processes. Okay, great. Thanks. The next one I believe refers to your or relates to your first demo, Troy. So it says, for staking, do we have to use a specific field device? Yeah, sure. So I touched on that very briefly. You will need some type of device that can either meet the criteria of an Android or an iOS, for example, or some type of mobile computer that can load the software, obviously. In terms of getting the high accuracy GPS, as long as it can Bluetooth to the device in the field. So as long as that receiver has the ability to join via Bluetooth, the platform for IQ Geo natively handles that and pipes that through as the device location. I should have very briefly in one of the demos, there's a button on the bottom that you can click and you can see your different options for GPS receiver. It's called GPS Source. So we can definitely work with you if you need direction on which type of GPS to move forward with. And you can actually get decent GPS signal out of just the standard iOS device, for example. It usually helps when it has cell phone connectivity, even if you don't have it activated and you know, are paying like monthly monthly cell phone plan. But the newer phones and tablets actually have pretty decent GPS to get you under a couple of meters. And if you really want that precise survey grade stuff, we can we can work with you to find the proper external hardware. Okay, thanks. Next we have, this looks nice, but we are a smaller utility with limited resources. So how do you handle the smaller guys? Crawford, I can I can take that one. So the the product that was Detroit demo through those use cases, we have, for lack of better words, three levels, three flavors of it, insight, professional, and enterprise. So each of those packages has its own, let's say, rails, its own guards. But what it's really designed to do is to make sure that, you know, if you're a simple network operator, small municipality with a couple, a couple feeders, a cup and a couple substations, you can likely fit into an insight or professional. Whereas if you're a large IOU, a large cooperative and a large municipality, with a mesh network and a number of different APIs, we could push you over to the enterprise. So at the end of the day, it's making sure that the product itself matches with you, the utility and your use cases. Got it. Thanks, Matt. Next we have, how do you account for anchor placement on polls? Yeah, I can take that one. So for the brevity of the demo, I didn't go too much into the guy wires and anchors. So I did show, we do obviously handle that in the sense of compatible units at the moment. So you can have the compatible unit manager allows you to import your existing CU catalog with all of your labor units and materials, for example. So definitely able to check the box there with the concept of having the proper CU inventory. Now in terms of placement, that's actually something that we're teeing up for our next release right at the beginning of 2024. But basically that point and span wizard that I demoed in the first video, in addition to giving you distance and bearing as you walk with the GPS unit, you'll also have the option to designate at each structure if you'd like to account for a guy wire and it'll do that bisect calculation automatically for you. So basically it will account for it in the next version. Right now you are also able to model it as a feature if you'd like with the concept of just adding a linear feature for the anchor and the guy. So you can just add that kind of like you saw me clicking on the map. So you just tap on the structure and then you tap in the direction and the distance that you'd like to set it. It would add as a feature. But yeah, as mentioned with the next version, we'll have that built in with the bisect. And then also the concept of being able to route with high precision to a point. So, you know, say it added that in automatically and it dropped a point for where the guy anchor needs to be in the field. Now, how do I go find that to drop a stake in the grounds? You'll be able to click on it and it'll give you kind of that similar dotted line distance, but it'll be shrinking instead of growing as you walk towards the location to plot that point in the field. All right. Thanks. We have just a couple more. So next is for the text at locations, is there a way to automatically produce the construction units designed at that specific location? Can you repeat that first part of the question? Sure. For the text at locations, is there a way to automatically produce the construction units designed at that location? Yeah, great question. So that's something that we could bring through. Right now, it's not just because everyone's going to have their own CU libraries. So it's not something that we bring through at the moment. Definitely is something we've done before that we can consider for the next iterations of the product to bring that through automatically. Yeah. So you don't have to type that text each time. Okay, great. Thanks. And just one more. Are you able to show examples of how this is used for IT data for OSP, for fiber and copper? I can handle that, Troy. Short answer is yes, but we would like to talk with you a little more so we can respond to you after the webinar. So that is all that we have for today. So Matt, I'll let you close. Yeah. Thank you. Thank you, everybody, for joining. And as I said earlier, if you want to want to get in touch with us, talk about some of the use cases and see what the what our platform would look like to to your wider audience, please reach out to Troy or I. Awesome. Thanks, everyone. Thank you. Take care.
