THE FUNDAMENTAL PURPOSE of an O&M Manuals Solution is to provide easy access to the plant O&M manuals and drawings that operations people refer to for efficient operation of the treatment process and to assure regulatory compliance. Rapid access to vendor manuals, equipment schematics, and circuit diagrams is key for maintenance technicians to provide repair of critical equipment on short notice. Now all the reference material required to meet a utility's prime objective of treating wastewater or providing clean, healthy drinking water is available from anywhere on the owner's network.
For the past several years, ISPA has been providing our UtilityMaestro Solution as the answer to this need.
This O&M Manual Solution incorporates knowledge of web based electronic document solutions and their application to water and wastewater facilities. It allows multiple users to access documents from multiple facilities concurrently through the Internet, or an Intranet, using a standard web browser and document viewers such as Adobe Acrobat? Reader. The typical Utility Maestro implementation includes complete services for the conversion of paper and electronic manuals, installation and training, and system support.
