A Smart Assistant For System Operators
OperatorFabric is a modular, extensible, industrial-strength platform for use in electricity, water, and other utility operations.
It aims to facilitate operational activities for utilities in two ways:
- Centralize real time business events in a single place to avoid having multiple screens/software. To do so, OperatorFabric provides
- event dispatching rules on a per-user basis (based on groups, organizational entities, processes, etc.)
- event-sending endpoints for business applications
- a mechanism of templating to customize events rendering (using HTML5)
- a view of the events on a timeline or a calendar
- storage of all the events (archive feature)
- notifications via sounds or emails
- possibilities to integrate screen from other applications
- Facilitate interactions between operational control centers:
- Share information in real time, as pre-formatted cards that can be sent either manually by operators or automatically by external solutions.
- Introduce pre-formatted question/response exchanges between control centers. This can be used to implement operational processes (with the notion of “last time to respond”).
- Share events in calendar (also allowing repeating events)
In addition, the following features are available: internationalization, light/dark mode for the UI, realtime connected users supervision, authorization mechanism.
Integration with existing IT systems is an overarching concern: support of Firefox and Chromium-based browsers, docker deployment, communication with business applications via REST API or Kafka, integration with external authentication systems (via OAuth2), monitoring via Prometheus endpoints.
