Key challenges
ELIN was faced with multiple challenges when trying to facilitate smooth maintenance services for their lighting services.
Locating the lights
When ELIN was contracted as a maintenance provider for street lights, their customers often could not give an estimate of how many lights were involved. It was also impossible for them to provide ELIN with any kind of information about the precise location of the lights. This created a huge challenge for the company as manually locating the lights needing maintenance meant extra labour and unnecessary delays.
Documentation of the Inspection
Although locating the lights was a big concern, even when they could do so, the inspection of those lights required extensive documentation for which they did not possess the right tools. Maintenance processes of assets within any public infrastructure must be well documented so that subsequent repair works are easier to handle. ELIN was missing this piece. Paper-based documentation proved to be a humongous task and resulted in errors in identifying the right inspection methods when continued maintenance had to be carried out.
The solution
To address these challenges, ELIN adopted Geolantis360’s digital workflow platform, enabling them to:
01
Map and locate assets with precision
Using GPS-enabled tools, ELIN could quickly identify the exact location of each streetlight, eliminating the inefficiencies of manual searching.
02
Digitize inspection processes
Field teams could capture inspection data directly in the platform, replacing cumbersome paper-based methods.
03
Standardize documentation
Maintenance records and inspection reports were stored centrally, ensuring accurate and consistent information for future reference.
04
Improve collaboration
Data collected in the field was instantly synced with the office, reducing delays and miscommunication.
The outcome
By integrating Geolantis360 into their maintenance operations, ELIN achieved measurable improvements.
