Optimize Demand Response Workflow and Asset Management with New
FieldScout™ Application from Eaton’s Cooper Power Systems
WAUKESHA, Wis. … Diversified industrial manufacturer Eaton today announced that its
Cooper Power Systems division has introduced the FieldScout™ mobile application (app).
Providing demand response (DR) service providers and utilities a secure, cloud-based
platform to manage residential and commercial control technologies, FieldScout delivers
intelligent device data management and commissioning functionality, as well as advanced
workflow efficiencies. Using any Android™ mobile platform device—including mobile phones,
tablets or handheld PCs—the app allows authorized users to securely obtain, verify and
analyze operational information from DR devices that is pertinent to program performance.
“Our customers demand solutions that maximize productivity and customer satisfaction on a
secure, flexible and cost-effective platform,” said Ann Perreault, global product director,
Demand Response, Eaton’s Cooper Power Systems division. “The introduction of our
FieldScout app does just that, making it even easier to collect and analyze key data and
system performance. FieldScout addresses the growing demand for tools that run on existing
mobile technologies, and is a further testament to our commitment to developing products
and solutions with the end user in mind.”
FieldScout communicates with installed DR devices—including the company’s wide array of
advanced load control switches—to optimize installation and data capture. The automatic,
secure data storage and sharing functionalities of the new app also improve troubleshooting
processes and reduce response time to customer inquiries.

control device access, manage data acquisition and aggregate data from the field
automatically in near real time.
For the best viewing experience, the mobile device should run on an Android operating
