Utilities & Infrastructure
Managing our critical assets, keeping power and clean water flowing
Are you trying to manage the continuous, safe supply of essential utilities?
The problem
The safe, responsible, continuous provision of essential utilities and infrastructure is critical to society. Providers of power, water, waste & recycling, communications and transport all have a duty to ensure that present and future supply is maintained in a responsible, safe and environmentally sustainable way.
Incidents such as water contamination, power outages, gas and water leaks not only cause interruptions in supply and unnecessary costs, but also create huge environmental and public safety concerns.
The Solution
Instant responses to exceptional events to maintain a reliable supply
Remote Planet gives instant visibility of exceptional events, and pre-programed automatic responses to deal with these events in the safest, most efficient way. This improves accountability and enables easier policing of regulations and standards. The number of physical site visits can also be reduced through clear accurate data, remote monitoring, management and response, leading to improved efficiency and reduced carbon footprint.
Optimise processes, reduce site visits and improve efficiency
Remote Planet can minimise waste and reduce costs by monitoring demand management and using data analytics to improve visibility of supply. Adopting innovative solutions such as Remote Planet is the key for utilities companies, enabling them to become more agile, efficient and environmentally responsible.
The clear, accurate, and actionable data can be used to make informed decisions about resource allocation and management. Offering on-demand remote response and control of critical resources from an ‘always-on’ central location ensures their operations remain efficient and effective.
“Utilities need to evolve. They need to become much more agile. They need to become much more lean in the way that they approach the business processes that they take care of, and also be able to capture business opportunities with that agility. Technology is playing a role. New technologies are fundamental for utilities to address these new business models.”
