•Case Study: Connexus Energy Has Cost Savings Down Cold With Intermec Mobile Computing
Within four minutes of exposure to an ambient temperature of 48 degrees Fahrenheit, the average human hand begins showing signs that all is not well. Blood vessels constrict. As the temperature falls, fingers go numb. Dexterity suffers.
For three Connexus Energy inspectors, dealing with extremities in the extremes is a daily occurrence some four months of every year. Winter wind chill temperatures for these Minnesota workers often drop to well below zero. The company won't send them out in temperatures below minus 10, but anything above that is a normal workday. Historically, this has meant braving severe cold to take 3,000 substation measurements, using a pen and clipboard.
Not anymore. Oh, the Connexus inspectors still brave the cold – can't do much about that – but they've traded the pens and clipboards for Intermec 740 Color mobile computers and mobile CMMS software from DataSplice. The change has sped inspector task time by 43 percent. It has reduced Connexus substation maintenance management costs by the same percentage and, most importantly for customers, has made inspection data available for analysis the day it is gathered.
