The Gas Transmission System Operator of Ukraine (GTSOU) is making strides in modernizing its pipeline operations with the development and testing of a new mobile application for equipment maintenance and repair (EMR).

This innovative tool, developed with the support of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) through its Energy Security Project (ESP), aims to streamline asset management processes and enhance operational efficiency.

By automating task planning and providing real-time control over work performance, the EMR application empowers maintenance and repair teams to optimize their efforts. The app offers a user-friendly interface that allows technicians to view assigned tasks, plan efficient routes to facilities, and report on their progress, including material usage, time spent, and visual documentation.

This digital solution is expected to yield significant benefits for GTSOU by reducing the frequency of emergency shutdowns and improving the quality of equipment repairs. The app will make gas transportation more reliable and efficient. 

Additionally, it will optimize the reporting on the technical condition of facilities, enabling data-driven decision-making.

The implementation of the mobile EMR application is part of a broader USAID-supported initiative to modernize GTSOU's asset management system. This comprehensive effort will help reduce operating costs, optimize operations, and enhance the overall efficiency of the Ukrainian gas transportation system.
