Bengaluru: AiDash, an enterprise SaaS company helping critical infrastructure industries become climate resilient and better prepared for the energy transition with satellites and AI, today unveiled an end-to-end system addressing utilities’ most urgent challenges in the wake of climate threats like storms and wildfires. Its new Full Stack Platform for Grid Inspection and Monitoring provides utilities with the data and insights needed for proactive, preventative maintenance to keep the grid operational, safeguard communities, and reduce costs. AiDash CEO Abhishek Singh debuted this first-of-its-kind solution at the company’s Evolve 2024 conference in New Orleans.
“In an era of super storms and wildfires, keeping the power on is more challenging than ever. Climate change, growing power demands, and the need to expand grid capacity highlight the urgent work ahead to ensure safe, reliable, and affordable power,” said Abhishek Singh, CEO of AiDash. “With our Full Stack Platform for Grid Inspection and Monitoring, we’ve combined all of our capabilities and integrated new data sources, giving utilities the most accurate information to enable swift, decisive action.”
The Full Stack Platform for Grid Inspection and Monitoring launches as the U.S. utility landscape now includes over 7 million miles of power lines, approximately 250 million poles, a billion devices or assets, and billions of trees. Inspecting, monitoring, and maintaining this at scale is beyond human capacity. Technology adoption is the only path forward for utilities to minimize outages, reduce costs, and improve grid reliability.
“If every asset is inspected with the right remote sensing technology, at the right frequency, and problem areas are addressed quickly, utility-caused fires and outages can be drastically reduced, if not eliminated,” said Singh. “Our solution empowers utilities to be more proactive, adaptive, and resilient, leading to safer communities, better working conditions, and improved bottom lines.”
