The power supply market is in a process of fundamental change because of the liberalisation of the market, unbundling and the requirements of the regulators. The employees of the service team are also subject to ever-increasing demands. Network data required for correcting faults, maintenance and repair must be available immediately in ever larger supply regions.

Mobile and extremely rugged Tablet PCs by Mettenmeier are now essential for field service. For example, current network data can be supplied in mobile GIS applications to process fault and repair orders or to coordinate teams in the field with workforce management systems. Regular gas pipe testing can be conducted without media breaks supported by digital maps and GPS. Digital plans can now be used very easily instead of having to prepare and organise paper-based plans at short notice.

The Tablet PCs by Mettenmeier are an ultrarobust and powerful assistant and is the optimum solution for information in field service and for running extended special applications for repair of power-supply networks.
