Explore Fulcrum blog posts on electric utility operations, covering inspections, asset management, and mobile field data collection.
Realizing the full potential of AI in utiltiies depends on a workforce empowered to capture high-quality data at every point of contact with the grid. By modernizing field workflows and prioritizing a human-in-the-loop approach, organizations establish the reliable data foundation necessary for long-term resilience and advanced automation.
Fragmented systems drain budgets, complicate regulatory compliance, and burn out crews, but modern utility asset management offers a fix. We explain how integrated asset management eliminates the chaos of disconnected spreadsheets to lower operating costs, guide smarter infrastructure investments, and extend asset life across the entire infrastructure life cycle. Read on to see how utility operations can improve electric grid reliability and transform utility infrastructure management from a headache into a strategic advantage.
Modern electric utility operations run on data from operational technology, GIS, asset systems, information technology applications, and field crews, but silos between those utility systems create blind spots that slow outage restoration, complicate business continuity management, and raise risk. See how breaking down those silos and creating a connected operational picture turns raw operational data into faster, safer decisions in the field, the control room, and the utility field operations center.
If you are a follower of Fulcrum (and we hope you are!), you’ve probably seen our Esri announcements over the past six months or so, starting with our definitive commercial provider agreement and most recently talking about further Esri integration with a host of new features. But today we wanted to single out a couple of advantages to the Fulcrum-Esri pairing that don’t get enough press: scalability and flexibility. And as there’s no industry better to showcase these benefits, read on to learn more about GIS integration for utilities and how it optimizes both scalability and flexibility of their operations.
If electric utilities and their contractors need reliable, efficient, and affordable SaaS data collection tools, why do they so often rely on in-house software solutions to manage their field operations?
