Utilities

Use cases: Machine Learning Solutions

The intersection of the data industry and the energy industry is crucial for maximizing safety and environmental protection. Machine Learning can bring additional benefits to the utilities sector, such as minimizing risks and improving customer experience. Machine Learning models can also monitor and improve operations in real time, analyze and predict patterns, while being scalable and self-improving.

Monitoring and proactively maintaining infrastructure like pipelines or electricity lines

Drone or satellite data is readily available and despite its complexity, Machine Learning models can quickly analyze it even for a large area. Comparing it to patterns learned from historical data, a Machine Learning model can identify deviations and create a real-time warning system that can catch damages early for minimizing loss.
