October Asset Health Analytics Community Conversation - "Solve My Problem Exercise"

Join the Asset Health Analytics Community on Wednesday, October 28th at 2:00 PM CT for an interactive “Solve My Problem” exercise facilitated by Community Sponsors and Leaders and UAI staff. The session described below has been designed with input directly from members of the Asset Health Analytics Community which was captured from the “Getting to Know You” survey and exercise during the kick-off Community Conversation.

The “Solve My Problem” session will be delivered in a way that will encourage partnered collaboration between members to come up with solutions and/or action plans to help members solve real-time “problems” (“problems” can be interchangeable with the word “challenges”). During conversations about the “problems”, members will showcase their successes, share experiences and lessons learned, and gain valuable insights from the supportive and knowledgeable group of peers meeting during this Community Conversation. We encourage open, interactive dialogue throughout the exercise to create a vibrant and collaborative environment, and to ensure everyone in attendance receives an opportunity to voice their opinions and ideas.

During this interactive exercise, attendees will collaborate to come up with solutions and/or action plans that can be used to address the “problems”. Come prepared to discuss the following “problems” during the Asset Health Analytics Community “Solve My Problem” exercise!

Problem 1: Transmission Line Inspection Process and Scenario, Facilitated by Chris Lyles, VP of Asset Planning & Management – Western Area Power Administration (WAPA):
- How do you take transmission structure inspection data and use it to drive repair or replacement decisions at the transmission segment level? (i.e. Making asset replacement/maintenance decisions)
- Scenario: We are in the process of upgrading our transmission line inspection tool. This tool collects transmission line component's condition which drives our t-line structure health. Problem: How do you ensure that the inspection tool accurately captures data and allows integration into our CMMS to perform asset health analytics and improve work management

Problem 2: COTS vs In-House - Facilitated by Charlie Schaeffer, Director of IT – Ameren
- What are the pros and cons of commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) vs.in-house development of analytics platform selection?
