description

An electricity company gets periodically electricity consumption reports in Excel sheets out of their system. The monthly reports contain electricity consumption of each district of Helsinki. FME provided an easy way to process the Excel data automatically, merge it with city district geometries and visualize the data with charts and pie charts in PDF files based on different criteria. Thus the users get an access to the PDF files, and can see, how the electricity consumption behaves.

What many think FME is

It’s just another

conversion tool.

Our software can export data

in many formats!

FME is much more

Background

!  90 regional and distribution Network Operators !  In Helsinki City Area:

!  Geographical distribution area ca. 187 km2 !  365 000 customers (metering points)

Background

!  AMR (Automated Meter Reading) -> Hourly energy value from a customer once a day

!  Needs !  Automated runs according to the newest availabe

data !  Visualization with charts and maps !  Smart user interface enabling going deeper from one

report to more a detailed report

FME is the solution!

Datasets

!  AMR data in Excel !  City districts in Mapinfo TAB
