Application framework for utility workflows

Similix ProGrid extends ArcGIS with modular applications, components and services for utilities and infrastructure operators.

ProGrid supports business-critical workflows for planning, maintaining and operating electricity, fiber, water, wastewater and district heating networks. It turns complex network data into practical, user-oriented applications for engineering, operations, inspection, planning and asset management.

Built on ArcGIS and Utility Network

Enterprise GIS is becoming the foundation for managing critical infrastructure data. However, many utility workflows require dedicated applications beyond standard GIS editing, visualization and analysis.

Similix ProGrid provides a framework for building these applications on top of ArcGIS and ArcGIS Utility Network. The framework combines map-based user interfaces, workflow support, integration services and reusable components into targeted business applications.

Typical applications

ProGrid can be used to support applications such as:

  • Electric design engineering
  • Telco and fiber connection management
  • Sewer inspection portals
  • Customer connection workflows
  • Grid extension workflows
  • ADMS and OMS integration workflows
  • Load flow and capacity planning
  • Inside plant and outside plant workflows
  • CCTV inspection
  • Overrun analysis

Modular architecture

ProGrid is based on a modular architecture where reusable functions and components can be combined into domain-specific applications.

Common platform capabilities include:

  • Displaying, querying and editing infrastructure data
  • Managing projects, tasks and workflow states
  • Supporting map-based and data-driven workflows
  • Integrating with external systems
  • Exposing open and documented REST APIs

This makes it possible to build specialized applications while reusing common platform capabilities across projects, domains and customers.

Integration with enterprise systems

Critical infrastructure workflows often span multiple systems. ProGrid supports integrations between GIS, ADMS, OMS, ERP, engineering tools and other operational or business systems.

This enables utilities to connect network data, work processes and system integrations in a coherent application environment.

Developed for critical infrastructure

Similix ProGrid is developed from Similix’ experience with enterprise GIS, ArcGIS Utility Network, CIM-based integrations, data migration and digital transformation projects in the utility sector.

The framework helps utilities create practical applications for the people who plan, operate, maintain and extend critical infrastructure.
