Release 11.0

In Digpro’s Release 11.0, the primary focus has been to continue delivering solutions that address today’s major trends in modern applications: the energy transition, digitalization, and security.

Modules

Process Automation

Updates to Workflow Studio and Organizer include:

• Support for Reusable Subprocesses in Workflow Studio – Reusable subprocesses are now supported, allowing standalone subprocesses to be referenced within main processes and reused across multiple workflows.
• Graphical Visualization of Process-Driven Tasks in Organizer – Process-driven tasks now have graphical visualization via a process icon on the task form, with color-coded progress indicators for easy tracking. Seamless interaction between the workflow list and visualization allows right-click actions, while features like non-interactive gateways and stacked multiple instances enhance workflow clarity.
• Estimated Duration Settings for Activities in Workflow Studio – Users can set estimated durations for activities in days and hours, enabling more precise planning.

Organizer

The onboarding process for Organizer has been enhanced with the introduction of a new “Configuration Overview” feature. This centralizes configuration elements, making setup and management more efficient for both new and existing users.

Operator

A series of new enhancements have been introduced to improve operational efficiency and customer communication. These updates include:

• Outage Map Enhancements – Supports publishing outages where customers are planned to be disconnected and enables the use of direct links to specific outages.
• Core Announcement Update – Has a new substitution variable for the outage ID, which is intended to be used to send a direct link to a specific outage in the Outage Map.
• dpPower Operator Enhancement – Has support for adding operations on multiple devices in one go. Excellent for example when marking live working (working with voltage) on the open points in the network.

Products

dpPower

The release of dpPower 11.0 brings a range of features and enhancements focused on the energy transition. Key updates include improved forecasting capabilities, integration of meteorological data, and enhanced handling of real-time measurement.

• Short-Term Forecasting – A new feature for short-term forecasting has been introduced, utilizing enhanced handling of real-time measurements and supporting multiple data sources beyond just SCADA. Integration with SMHI’s Meteorological Analysis (MESAN) and Meteorological Forecasts has also been implemented, incorporating weather data, such as temperature, to enable more accurate short-term load forecasts.
• Feeder Measurement Forecasting – Forecasting models, including ARIMA, SARIMA, and auto ARIMA, have been applied to feeder (bay) measurements, enhancing predictive capabilities for energy management.
• Real-Time Measurement Display – Real-time measurements can now be displayed on maps, improving the visualization and monitoring of energy operations.
• Station Meter Value Import – Support has been added for importing 15-minute four-quadrant station meter values, increasing data granularity and analysis.
• Enhanced Load and Production Profiles – The “Aggregate production” function has been improved to include project loads and profiles. Additionally, temperature input data is now automatically sorted based on the distance between feeding points and weather station equipment.

dpCom

Recent updates introduce new subtypes for service objects, enhancements in connectivity tools, and improvements to reporting and node management. These updates aim to streamline network operations, facilitate trading, and enhance user efficiency.

• New Subtypes for Service Objects – Two new service object subtypes have been introduced: Uplink and Capacity. Uplink services show connections that continue upward in the hierarchy, while Capacity services represent the physical network path through children’s services. Additionally, a new report, “Services Above,” has been added to list all services with underlying services, providing potential candidates for the new Uplink subtype.
• Cross-Section Placement in Node-to-Node Placing – Cross-section placement is now available when using node-to-node placers for ducts and cables. A new option in the route path selection dialog triggers the cross-section placer for the connected route’s end node.
• Enhanced Connect Tool Functionality – Users can now directly connect two ducts using the Connect tool, either in map or auto view.
• Selected Rows Display in Connection Dialog – The number of selected rows is now displayed in the south panel of the connection/patch/splice dialog, helping users keep track of fiber disconnections.
  CESAR2 Connect Module Enhancement – The CESAR2 Connect module now allows nodes from dpCom to be sent to CESAR2. CESAR2 is a platform for trading fiber network assets, developed by the Swedish Local Fiber Alliance (SSNF) and Digpro. It supports efficient transactions for dark fiber, Ethernet, and co-location products in Sweden.

dpWater

Several new enhancements have been introduced to improve risk management, data visualization, and object tracking.

• Enhancements in Risk Management – Updates have been made to improve risk management.
• Quick View for Enhanced Pipe Data Visualization – Quick view enhances the visualization of pipe data, making it easier to access and interpret relevant information.
• Diary Notes for Objects – Users can now add diary notes to objects, allowing for better tracking and documentation of updates and changes.
• New Status for Facilities – A new status, “Built but in production,” has been added for facilities, providing an additional stage in the lifecycle of a project.

dpHeating

The latest updates bring new capabilities to enhance map customization, broaden dpWebmap’s applicability, and improve measurement features for alarm wires. These improvements aim to increase user flexibility and operational efficiency.

• Saving Custom Thematic Maps – Users can now save their custom thematic maps, providing flexibility and reusability.
• Enhanced dpWebmap Functionality – dpWebmap has been made more generic, expanding its applicability.
• Alarm Wire Measurement Tool – A new feature allows for measuring distances between points specifically for alarm wires, enhancing precision in planning and deployment.

dpGas

For dpGas, the following is included in the new release:

• Support for pneumatics networks – Was released in 10.6, and has now been further enhanced.
• Support for technical lifetime management – Including technical lifespan, estimated technical and remaining technical lifespan.

Digpro Platform

User experience

Release 11.0 introduces a range of enhancements aimed at improving the user experience. This includes significant UI/UX updates for both mobile and desktop clients, as well as numerous minor improvements.

• dpWebmap UI Makeover – The user interface for mobile solutions in dpWebmap has been completely redesigned, featuring improved navigation, enhanced coloring, and several other refinements.
• Desktop Client UI Updates – The desktop client has a new background sections concept that groups related fields together, improving the ease of finding and reading information.
• Minor Enhancements for Desktop Clients – Numerous smaller updates have been introduced to further improve the overall user experience in desktop application.
