Streamlined Process Control for Gas Equipment
WATT-Net™ enhances process control across meter shops and warehouses by incorporating customizable business rules. Utilities can integrate gas meter testing into their overall process management, ensuring that meters are consistently tested and inspected according to internal protocols and industry standards such as ANSI Z1.04, Z1.09, and MILSPEC 414. Additionally, WATT-Net™ tracks AMR/AMI device pairings (marriages) and separations (divorces) at every point of contact, from the warehouse to the field.
The system’s advanced inventory management features allow utilities to track equipment locations, monitor stock levels, and issue inventory to field personnel and trucks. For bulk processing, WATT-Net™ supports the tracking of equipment on shelves, pallets, and boxes, providing a detailed view of inventory movements. The optional Shop Assistant mobile app enables warehouse and meter shop staff to process equipment using mobile barcode scanners, allowing for untethered, real-time operations.
Gas Site & Installation Management
Managing gas site installations is made simple with WATT-Net™. The system tracks all gas-related equipment installed at a site, including meters, regulators, AMI devices, and electronic volume correctors. WATT-Net™ also supports complex site configurations by enabling users to track multiple gas circuits at a single location. The built-in change control procedures ensure accountability by enforcing site signatures and approval processes for equipment and site parameter changes.
Field operations are further streamlined with the Field Assistant mobile app, which allows field teams to manage equipment installations, swaps, site updates, and equipment requests. The integration with RADIAN’s Web Inventory Control (WIC) solution enables real-time updates from the field, ensuring that information is always accurate and up-to-date.
Enterprise System Integrations for Enhanced Connectivity
WATT-Net™ integrates seamlessly with your existing enterprise systems through the RADIAN Listener platform. Real-time updates to general-purpose inventory management systems are supported, providing utilities with live visibility into your gas equipment assets. WATT-Net™ also connects directly with AMR/AMI head-ends, enabling synchronization of inventory updates, firmware over-the-air (OTA) updates, and configuration changes.
The system’s flexible integration capabilities mean that WATT-Net™ can connect with a wide range of enterprise solutions, including SAP, Oracle, and Maximo, as well as custom integrations tailored to your specific needs. With support for both Microsoft SQL Server and Oracle databases, WATT-Net™ is built to handle the demands of large-scale utility operations.
