Orchestrate Damage Assessment and Restoration at Any Scale

With the increasing frequency and severity of outage events, utilities must rapidly respond to the effects of climate change by assessing damage to systems and prioritizing the crews and materials required for repair. Powering real-time situational awareness and reporting across thousands of native and non-native crews, the ARCOS Mobile Workbench app mobilizes field workers 12x faster and accelerates damage assessment and repair following storms, wildfires, and other natural disasters, shrinking restoration by days for hurricane-scale events.

Reduce Service Interruptions

Our field mobility solution guides users through damage assessments, enabling new line workers and non-native contractors to quickly get up to speed. Damage assessments are immediately available to emergency management and event coordinators, accelerating repair and shrinking time to restoration and CAIDI/SAIDI.

Enable Safer Emergency Response

Out-of-date print feeder maps and large numbers of non-native crews unfamiliar with your circuits pose risks and delay restoration. Empower crews to take the next best step with real-time situational awareness of people, work status, asset location, and the most current circuits with direction of flow.

Seamlessly Blend Native and Non-Native Crews

A surge of mutual assistance crews places an immediate strain on response coordinators to organize and direct resources for maximum effect. ARCOS Mobile Workbench efficiently assigns patrol routes, captures time sheets, and redirects resources as needed for employees, native contractors, and non-native crews.
