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
