The energy data management (EDM) system from Robotron (robot Ron*sales) for the commodity type electricity is enhanced to include modules/functions for gas in order to support daily business in the Grid Management department (procurement) at an energy trading company.
Supplement
Robotron*eSales is a time series management system for sales and procurement. Using the core functions of the robotron*eCount EDM system, robotron*eSales enables a closed process chain from procurement through to sales for energy suppliers. The system provides a planning and decision-making basis on the foundation of operational data. Robotron*eSales has a component-based software architecture. The individual system configuration is created from this basic system by activating specific components. Individually purchased licenses or functions form the basis of this activation. The application is developed using Oracle*Forms/web forms. The EDM server works on the basis of an Oracle10g database with integrated application logic. The enhancement to include gas functions results in adjustments to existing interfaces and the inclusion of new interfaces. The central interface transfers master data from the master data retaining system to EDM.
Subject description
The “robotron*eSales” EDM system from Robotron that the customer already uses for electricity is to be enhanced to include gas functions. Phase 2 – gas: on the basis of this system, the customer and the EDM software manufacturer shall run workshops to jointly work out a requirements specification for an EDM system in the gas division. This specification covers network access in Germany and Austria and shall form the basis for a delta specification (functional specifications). Additionally, separate concepts shall be created for the interfaces and tests. The documents shall be subjected to reviews and approved by the customer. This is followed by the implementation, acceptance test and go-live.
