GE’s MapFrame™ Mobile Solutions software combines mobile mapping applications and field automation processes to increase the work and travel efficiency of utility field crews. The software brings geographic information systems (GIS), map and facility data into the field by streamlining work tasks into a single viewing package, resulting in increased field productivity. Also, by allowing crews to optimize their work trips, the software can reduce truck mileage and associated emissions.

Environmental Benefits
GE's MapFrame™ Mobile Solutions software enables utility field crews to digitize work maps and optimize truck routes, eliminating paper map books and reducing miles traveled as well as fuel consumption. For example, a large multistate utility with 700 crews using MapFrame software reduced annual fuel consumption by 67,000 gallons and 590 metric tons of associated CO2 emissions, equivalent to the annual CO2 emissions of approximately 110 cars on U.S. roads. The same customer eliminated 105,000 paper map sheets, over 2,200 pounds, annually.
Operating Benefits
GE's MapFrame™ Mobile Solutions software enables field crews to optimize travel routes between work locations, reducing travel mileage and associated fuel costs. For example, one large multistate utility with 700 crews using MapFrame software reduced annual gasoline consumption by 8% or more than 67,000 gallons, saving approximately $218,000 in annual fuel costs at $3.25 per gallon.
