Research Center to leverage Intergraph G/Technology and GeoMedia

Beijing Power Information Technology Research Center, based in Beijing, China, has selected Intergraph G/Technology and GeoMedia WebMap to improve its smart grid operations. The technology will be used to support power grid design, centrally manage the lifecycle of power grid assets and enhance decision making through real-time monitoring and alarming. With these functions, the utility will improve grid security, safety and reliability while increasing efficiency and cutting costs.

Recent developments in China have resulted in the need for increased reliability, fewer power outages and lower costs for electricity. Suppliers are being urged to develop networks that can resist natural disasters and destruction from external forces, boast high levels of reliability, security and availability, save costs and ensure safety.

Intergraph’s G/Technology infrastructure management solution is a feature-rich, open and scalable geospatial application platform designed to meet the unique needs of utilities and communications companies. In addition to centrally managing geospatial data, the solution will also enable Beijing Power Information Technology Research Center to easily share the data via Intergraph GeoMedia WebMap. By providing easy access to data from G/Technology and third-party GIS platforms, GeoMedia WebMap makes it easy to distribute critical spatial information via simple Web clients.
