EcoStruxure™ ArcFM Designer | Schneider Electric South Africa

Discover EcoStruxure ArcFM Designer

EcoStruxure ArcFM Designer is a simple, efficient and intelligent application built specifically for designers and engineers of electric and gas utilities. It streamlines the entire design lifecycle and works anywhere, regardless of connectivity, enabling users to get new designs done extremely fast – without having to be a GIS expert.

Benefits of EcoStruxure ArcFM Designer

Focused

Built on ArcGIS Runtime and specifically for designers, ArcFM Designer integrates with ArcFM Mobile for fully digital, as-built workflows.
Efficient

Reduce backlogs by speeding up the design and construction lifecycle with a single point of entry for all design tasks, large or small.
Digital

Purpose-built, robust application for electric and gas networks that supports fully digital design and construction workflows.
Intelligent

Unlocks network engineering analysis at design time to optimise designs.

Features of EcoStruxure ArcFM Designer

Improved designs

Design Styles make it easy to reduce map congestion, manage whitespace and create focused design views for the construction crew. Precision Editing Tools switch between simple and advanced modes, and easily sketch curves, specify length or angle, and offset along an existing street edge or lot line.

Reduced complexity

Designs can be done by anyone (even external contractors), anywhere, anytime and without complex offline data preparation. Easily remove features and get immediate feedback when a transformer is overloaded or phases are balanced improperly. Integrate a work sketch creation, the aggregation of materials and the labour required to perform the job into a single, seamless ArcFM GIS-based workflow.

Comprehensive design capabilities

Full support for 3-phase electric networks, gas networks and all equipment types, so that all jobs can be designed regardless of complexity. Upgrade an entire piece of equipment, part of a banked component, upgrade/downgrade phasing, and increase/decrease phase count. Configure which attributes from the GIS are viewable and editable, supporting setting attributes during design that are not CU-driven.

Modern architecture

Built on a modern, services-based architecture with flexible integration APIs to configure information exchange with external systems. An array of engineering analysis tools automatically solves optimisation challenges with sound engineering designs and lowest-cost options.
