EPRI Shows Use of Common Information Model and and Augmented Reality with DAQRI Smart Helmet
The Common Information Model (CIM) for utilities is a common vocabulary and basic ontology for managing data about electric power industry assets. It is widely used to describe electricity transmission systems, where related applications include energy management system, SCADA, planning and optimization. This video published by EPRI, an AREA sponsor member, shows how utilities employees can use Augmented Reality to increase safety and reduce errors.
Using Augmented Reality to visualize and interact with data defined by the Common Information Model, EPRI’s PM Basis Database (PMBD) and Fleet-Wide Prognostic and Health Management Suite (FW-PHM) can improve transmission and distribution providers optimize their operations and maintenance.
The hardware used in the video is the Smart Helmet, an industrial grade display embedded in a professional hardhat, designed by DAQRI, also an AREA sponsor member.
