Case Study: Calpine Corporation streamlines shift handover and operations reporting with Hexagon j5 Operations Management Solutions

j5 enables project to record plant activities, issues and statuses in single data repository

Calpine Corporation, America's largest generator of electricity from natural gas and geothermal resources, faced a challenge in finding a single web-based electronic logbook system. They needed to facilitate shift handover and record plant status across their 83 widely distributed power plants, while also making the data visible for corporate-level analysis. They turned to Hexagon and its j5 Operations Management Solutions to replace their disparate recording methods.

Hexagon provided a central, flexible installation of its j5 applications, which created a single data repository for all plant activities. This solution automated shift handover, increased awareness of reliability issues, and eliminated disparate logbooks. The implementation streamlined management reporting, improved the flow of information, and established a controlled, secure environment that reduced corporate risk for Calpine.
