In the face of climate change, the energy transition and the associated technological changes have become an important task for companies in the energy and utilities sector. The complexity of maintaining and servicing sustainable power grids is on the rise.

Smart, digital service processes contribute to establishing a resilient energy infrastructure for the future. The integration of smart services in daily operations fosters increased efficiency, transparency, resilience, and sustainability. It facilitates optimization of the current processes and enables rapid reaction to disruptions, ensuring a stable electrical power supply.

BUILT A ROBUST POWER GRID WITH OCULAVIS

The challenges in power generation, energy transmission & distribution

Technological Advances and Digitalization

Technological progress and the ongoing electrification are driving up the demand for electricity. The growing reliance on automation and robotics in interconnected production facilities, the expansion of infrastructure for electric vehicles, and the proliferation of cloud computing are leading to rising demand for energy.

To ensure a continuous energy transmission and distribution, a constantly functioning electrical power grid is essential. Digital work instructions facilitate the optimal execution of preventive maintenance procedures, thereby mitigating the necessity for reactive fault clearance. If a fault does occur unexpectedly, AR-powered visual assistance provides the fastest troubleshooting option by remotely connecting with an expert.
