On 6–7 February, Monitor Electric took part in the fifth annual conference «CIM in Russia and the World,» held in Sochi. The event brought together professionals from leading energy companies, software manufacturers, representatives of research institutes, and international experts for the purpose of exchanging best practices in implementing CIM technologies in energy companies and developing a unified perspective on the prospects for CIM adoption in the Russian electric power industry, taking into account its unique characteristics.

The Monitor Electric delegation presented to conference participants the results of the company's work aimed at addressing existing industry challenges using CIM:
- data harmonisation and ensuring single data entry into asset management systems and SCADA through the application of the new software product for geospatial modelling of power grid facilities — CK.MDM
- single data entry in operational, technological and situational management processes, ensured through the organisation of operational information exchange in accordance with GOST R 58651 using integrated solutions manufactured by Monitor Electric
- standardisation of procedures for exchanging equipment outage requests between electric power industry entities and configuration of information exchange via the IEC 870-5-104 protocol

Traditionally, the platform served as a meeting place for energy company experts, enabling experience exchange in building modern automated systems for operational dispatch, technological, and situational management based on Monitor Electric software products, as well as creating and enriching enterprise information models on their basis, including for ensuring information exchange with JSC «SO UPS» in accordance with Order No. 1340 of the Ministry of Energy of the Russian Federation.
