Isolate. Ask. Restore.

The right procedure at the substation. Even with no coverage.

Substations, line corridors, pipelines and solar farms are where crews need exact steps and where coverage is weakest. RageEdge puts an assistant trained on your SOPs, permits and equipment manuals on rugged tablets and phones, so the answer is there in a second and your grid data never leaves the device.

See it work

A crew asks for the lockout steps. The tablet answers from the SOP.

A permit to work at a substation with no coverage, from the first question to the synced permit.

  1. Open the permitThe permit and its isolation points are on the rugged tablet.
  2. Ask the SOPThe crew asks for the steps in plain words and gets them from your own SOP.
  3. Confirm each lockEach isolation step is ticked off on the device as the crew works.
  4. Sync when backThe completed permit syncs to the control room when there’s coverage.

Why on-device

Why on-device matters here.

  • Remote sites, weak coverage

    Substations, line corridors and pipelines are rarely where the signal is good.

  • Exact steps, fast

    About a second to the first word, from your own SOPs, while the crew is on site.

  • Grid data stays inside

    Network diagrams and procedures stay on the device and inside your own network.

Devices it runs on

  • Rugged tablets
  • Crew phones
  • Control-room desktops
  • HMI panels
The loop

Every fix reaches every device.

The same three steps run behind every RageEdge assistant, whatever the industry.

  1. Train on your data

    Manuals, catalogues, SOPs, tickets and images, trained on your premises, in your cloud or in ours.

    How training works
  2. Deliver over the air

    Signed, staged updates reach every device on the schedule you set, with one-click rollback.

    Update controls
  3. Report and improve

    A wrong answer is one tap away from the right team. They fix the data, and the next version fixes it everywhere.
