Abstract

This paper will focus on the development and implementation of a mobility application that will increase the efficiency of both field maintenance team and operator at DSO's dispatch centers, by reducing inefficacy associated with time spent communicating through phone.As a traditional communication process, whenever a collaborator enters or leaves an electricity distribution networks installation as a matter of safety not only of crews but also from the assets involved, this employee must inform the dispatch center to monitor his access and act if any problem with the asset is detected.The previously created process required a phone call to communicate both employee’s entry and exit from the facilities as well as the content of his intervention. Through the EDP Distribuição’s Check-In application this process has been redesigned, contemplating the use of an application installed on the mobile phones This application, characterized by a simple and very robust interface, perfectly integrated with EDP Distribuição’s application architecture, resulted on an optimization, minimizing the time spent with communications, obtaining not only direct gains due to the inexistence of telephone calls inherent to this stage, but also indirect gains associated with the availability of the teams and geolocation of them.
