Energy and utility companies continue to face hard challenges as they navigate the different industry changes to provide affordable, reliable, and sustainable energy. Throughout this journey, utilities are expected to design operational workflows that are stable but innovative, build and maintain an asset and resource-intensive infrastructure that is enduring but flexible, while providing a consistent power supply to meet unpredictable demand using intermittent energy sources - all of this, in a rapidly evolving regulatory environment.This session covered how forward-looking utilities are applying the power of AI and IoT data integration - from sensors to drones and mobile robots - as they evolve their asset maintenance and replacement strategy towards a risk-based management model that assesses the asset health and predicts failures and risk in order to extend asset lifecycles and reduce downtime and costs - all while building resiliency and sustainability into their business.
