Utility Companies Use Technology for Risk Mitigation

/

From T&D World

Utility companies have been chasing risk management and reduction solutions since the beginning of time—well, the beginning of utilities. Emerging technologies like machine learning, artificial intelligence, drones, IoT devices, and more are making risk management more automated than ever. 

Utility companies around the country (and world) are using the latest technologies to mitigate risk, including:

  • Vegetation management

  • Predictive maintenance

  • Hazard identification

  • Disaster recovery

  • Weather-based outage prediction

  • Escalated safety risks

Utilities deploying these technologies are seeing improved safety, cost management, customer satisfaction, compliance management, and more. 

I solemnly swear that I am up to only good. Risk managed.
