Field Operations & Asset Lifecycle Module

00 Executive Summary

The Field Operations & Asset Lifecycle Module is fully integrated into the MDM platform, providing comprehensive meter lifecycle tracking from site survey to decommissioning. This module is critical for HPL's AMISP operations and DISCOM compliance.

This is a comprehensive Asset Management System (AMS) that tracks every meter by serial number through its entire field lifecycle (7 stages), fully integrated with MDM and HES. Note: Procurement and warehouse management handled by HPL's existing SAP system.

03 Assumptions & Dependencies

✓ Assumptions

HPL will provide access to HES API documentation
MDM platform (Phase 1) will be available for integration
DISCOM billing system API specs will be provided
Sample meter data for testing will be available
HPL team available for requirement clarifications
Android devices for field testing will be provided
Cloud infrastructure costs are separate
iOS app is not in scope (can be added later)

⚠ Dependencies

MDM Phase 1: Asset registry integration depends on MDM availability
HES Integration: Commissioning module needs HES API access
Bluetooth Protocol: Meter-specific BLE specs required
OBIS Mapping: Parameter configuration needs OBIS codes
User Training: Field staff availability for UAT

Critical Path:

Field App commissioning module (M3) is dependent on HES API availability. Delay in HES specs will impact timeline.
