Power Line Systems, Inc. (PLSi) and ikeGPS™ have collaborated to develop ikeAnnotate PLS that is specifically designed for users of PLS-POLE™ software.
Utilities routinely conduct utility Pole Audits, where thousands of poles
must be measured accurately and safely. Each survey requires hundreds of
man days in labor. Companies can now turn to ikeGPS™ and PLSi to dramatically
reduce field data collection costs and improve the design integrity of their transmission
and distribution networks.
ikeGPS™ is an all-in-one handheld GIS data capture device that combines GPS,
laser range finder, 3D compass, and digital camera. The device provides geo-tagged
images of targets that can be accurately measured. ikeGPS™ is now compatible with
PLSi’s PLS-POLE™ software, the industry standard for utility pole analysis and design
– which means that building PLS-POLE™ structures is now automated and as simple
as marking up a photograph on a screen.

Introducing...
For Pole Audits, ikeGPS™ enables the quick and accurate location and measurement of attachments, heights and distances
of a pole. This is done from a single image that can be captured from a safe distance by a single person.
Using ikeAnnotate PLS, all field data measurements and photos are automatically imported into PLS-POLE™ to generate instant
models. Using the Pole Audit field data collected by the ikeGPS™; PLS-POLE™ performs design checks of structures under user
specified loads. These models are rapidly built from components such as poles, arms, guys, braces, and insulators.
and
PLS-POLE makes extensive use of 3D graphics to help you visualize your structure. Using the photo taken from ikeGPS™
the pole is now displayed in its real world surrounding in PLS-POLE™. The user can select all elements accurately and view
the structure from any direction – making any modeling mistakes immediately apparent. If you see an error simply click on it to
edit the problem element.
PLSi and ikeGPS™ have collaborated to provide this unique solution that dramatically reduces field data collection costs while
improving the design integrity of your transmission and distribution network.
