Today’s energy systems face a critical challenge: they often operate in isolation, with little real-time communication between key components like wind turbines and transformers. This lack of connectivity leaves gaps in performance optimization, predictive maintenance, and seamless grid management. With no existing technology robust enough to bridge these divides, [...]
According to recent research, scaling intelligent automation could save the Energy & Utilities industry between $237 billion and $813 billion in operational costs. Despite this immense potential, utility providers still grapple with intense competition, increasingly stringent regulations, and aging infrastructure and workforce challenges. The demand for more affordable and cleaner [...]
In Japan’s FANUC robotics factory, rows of automated machines efficiently carry out repetitive tasks that humans once performed. Remarkably, the factory can run autonomously for up to 30 days without human supervision. Hirotec Manufacturing eliminated manual inspection time to 100% by integrating cloud technologies, IoT, and small servers on the [...]

According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), world energy consumption is forecasted to surge by almost 50% by 2050. This prediction underscores the urgent need for a concerted global push towards smarter, more efficient energy grids and resource management. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), the global Internet of [...]
30% of Critical Infrastructure Organizations Will Experience a Security Breach by 2025 – Gartner Gartner’s insight underscores the critical need for organizations to reassess their cybersecurity approaches and learn from past disasters, such as the Colonial Pipeline security incident. This highlights the importance of increased vigilance and readiness within the [...]
Companies in the energy and utility industries were among the first to implement process automation. Many companies have already automated a large portion of their task scheduling, billing, and account management processes. The emphasis on separate or segregated processes is fundamentally shifting. Cross-process automation is now being discovered by really [...]
Nokia has partnered with the State Grid Corporation of China for data transmission to allow SGCC to expand network coverage to more power stations and business offices, while also increasing capacity and flexibility. Data has always been a critical component of E&U’s operational processes. However, with the introduction of new [...]
The exponential pace of technological advancements is not a news. Everyone is talking about digital disruption and trying to evolve and accommodate as per the latest technology trends. For some organizations, digital is an upgrade, while for others, it is total upheaval and mayhem. We are hearing about contactless payment technology [...]
Many of the world-changing solutions in use today were ridiculed at the time of their invention. Edison was mocked for creating the light bulb, which was called an absolute ‘ignis fatuus’ at that time and unworthy of the attention from a scientific or practical man. There was also a [...]
