The fault information tool is another
openKONSEQUENZ module completed
New module “Fault information tool” published via Eclipse project “Eclipse openK User Modules”
The aim of the openKONSEQUENZ consortium is to provide software for network operators in the energy and water industry that implements their requirements functionally, efficiently and securely.
The fault information tool is a user module of the openKONSEQUENZ platform. It is intended to support network operators in recording, processing and publishing planned and unplanned fault reports.
Despite state-of-the-art technologies, disruptions to the basic supply can occur from time to time. In these cases, prompt and efficient processing of fault reports is important. This begins with the early recording of the report in the system, which can be done either manually by the processor or automatically via connected systems. The workflow on which the system is based enables the clerk to process the fault report efficiently. It can also distribute the fault message internally or externally to connected systems. This ensures that all relevant persons and institutions receive the information.
The Fault Information Tool module is licensed under the Eclipse Public License 2.0 and can therefore be used freely by anyone. The module is published via the Eclipse project Eclipse openK User Modules and includes source code, documentation and a link to a demo platform.
The application managers responsible for the openKONSEQUENZ module Fault Information Tool come from EWE Netz GmbH, EWR Netz GmbH and e-netz Südhessen AG. The IT service provider PTA GmbH has taken over the software development.
Special challenge due to Corona
Normally, the sprint change dates as well as professional and technical workshops take place in the form of face-to-face meetings. This time, however, Corona has thrown a spanner in the works. The project was carried out completely remotely from start to finish. All appointments and workshops took place digitally via video conference. Data was exchanged using appropriate collaboration tools.
Looking back, the project team found that the collaboration worked extremely well – despite the lack of face-to-face meetings. As a result, it can be assumed that the importance of remote collaboration will continue to increase in the future.
Further information can be found directly at openKONSEQUENZ and at Eclipse.
