WATERTOWN, Mass., Dec. 5,
2017 /CNW/ -- Doble Engineering Company, a subsidiary of ESCO
Technologies Inc. (NYSE: ESE), has entered a strategic alliance
with DNV GL, a global quality assurance and risk management
company, to deliver streamlined and centralized testing data for
customers in substation maintenance, testing and asset
management.
As part of this strategic alliance, Doble and DNV GL are
optimizing the compatibility between DNV GL's Cascade work order
management system and Doble's new DTA7 and PowerBase7. With many
utility customers using DNV GL and Doble products, interfacing
modules and data workflow enhancements will help them streamline
their high voltage (HV) apparatus and relay testing.
"Data and workflow siloes prevent customers from seeing the
complete asset management picture," said Matthew Kennedy, solutions director for
enterprise and data products at Doble. "This alliance is about
removing barriers and giving our customers a solution that
simplifies testing, data storage and asset management business
processes."
"Customers can now confidently manage their asset condition,
maintenance and performance with Cascade, without losing any of the
asset testing, management and remote data storage features provided
by Doble," said Carsten Borchers,
head of electric grid products and technology at DNV GL Software.
"It's an integrated business process that allows asset health and
maintenance teams to make the best use of DTA and Cascade, getting
a holistic picture of the state of their assets."
For HV apparatus testing, Cascade can automatically launch DTA7.
This allows asset managers, maintenance engineers and testers to
create job orders, execute on a request and seamlessly record the
results in a guided process without having to leave the system. For
relay testers, Cascade can interface with PowerBase's relay
settings database for the automated creation and closing of
maintenance orders for relay tests. These optimizations help make
testing simple and more efficient.
