Smallworld Analysis and Optimization

Smallworld Design Manager

Smallworld Design Manager is a scalable engineering workflow management solution with 40 customers and over 8,500 seats deployed worldwide. Smallworld Design Manager's use by some of the largest utilities in the world clearly demonstrates its ability to manage complex engineering environments with large numbers of concurrent users. Part of this capability comes as a result of being tightly integrated with GE's Smallworld Core Spatial Technology, which eliminates the need for extensive custom integration of other third party products requiring complex and inefficient data synchronization processes. Through features such as design layout automation, integration with work management systems, partial design completion, and the ability to preview the future network, Smallworld Design Manager has been shown to improve the engineering design process by as much as 30% through faster more efficient design layout, automation of work management tasks, and elimination of redundant data entry.

Now, with the availability of Smallworld Analysis & Optimization integrated with Smallworld Design Manager, users can now seamlessly generate least-cost, best engineered designs without requiring expensive and complex third party tools, providing additional design efficiency as well as lowering construction and operational costs.

Value Proposition

The engineering Management product line supports key areas of investment by T & D companies based on recent "Voice of the Customer" surveys, including plan, design, and build phases of the asset lifecycle. Investment in automated engineering management solutions provides:
  • Reduction of plan, design and construction costs through efficient management of the design and selection of least cost, best-engineered solutions.
  • Partial completion of jobs reduces engineering time, provides more accurate accounting, and enables faster operational network updates.
  • Reduced operational errors resulting from availability of integrated views of the planned and as-built network for network analysis and switching operations.
