Improve Reliability, Risk Reduction
- Optimize health and maximize operational lifetimes of assets with condition based maintenance.
- Reduce risk of catastrophic failures, reduce repair costs.
- Reduce outage frequency & duration (improve SAIFI, SAIDI metrics).
- Reduce utility revenue losses, customer revenue losses.
- Avert government fines and penalties.
- Stream data flows to data historians, asset management, and asset performance systems to enable smarter intervention and CAPEX planning decisions, helping to avoid supply chain challenges, component scarcity, and lead-times.
Operational Excellence, OPEX Cost Reduction
- Automate inspection field data collection, data review, record keeping, asset digitization & work order generation.
- Combat imbalance of aging infrastructure, grid expansion & labor shortages.
- Increase employee productivity & efficiency by optimizing use of human resources and skills.
- Improve knowledge transfer, training tools, & job satisfaction for employees.
- Enable remote operations (ie. Verify CB SF6 pressure pre-remote switching, verify nominal contact post-switching).
Improved Safety, Compliance & Security
- Reduce employee travel in dangerous conditions
- Reduce employee exposure to on-site hazardous environments.
- Ensure equipment is grounded.
- Ensure use of PPE.
- Ensure inspection requirements are met, ensure employee safety compliance.
- Deter, detect, delay, deny Intrusion attempts.
- Environmental impact reduction
- Reduce truck rolls.
- Early leak detection.
