On Demand - How Advances in Mobile and Cloud Computing Provide Efficiencies for Utility Companies [an Energy Central PowerSession™]
In this PowerSession, we discussed:
- How recent advancements in technologies that surround mobile and cloud computing can provide enhanced detection and monitoring capabilities for utility companies.
- The current environment of staff mobile platform literacy that can support adopting more field-driven workflows.
- Opportunities for streamlined solutions that reduce the complexity of traditional, multi-software solutions for reporting, scheduling, planning, and dispatching operations.
- Specific examples related to solution implementations in vegetation management and fire mitigation will be discussed.
Why View:
Utility companies strive for more effective and efficient patterns for managing fieldwork. In most cases, solutions implemented include a long list of integrations, software vendors, third-party tools, and custom development. This panel will explore emerging technologies and solutions that may provide utility companies better options to implement more streamlined solutions that can:
