GIS Technologies are helping to ensure that utility networks are safe and efficient.
Using geospatial technologies ensures that the sector can ensure their utilities can capture, store, manipulate, analyse, manage and present data across their core networks. This not only offers us with analytical data we can use to enhance our understanding of these systems, it also provides a digital framework for users to prevent, detect, and maintain current systems. This technology also allows companies to plan for future projects, with it seamlessly providing information on land, existing infrastructure and surveillance.
The results of using this technology are clear to see. An analysis of companies using this technology in the Indian utility sector found that efficiency and workforce management in the industry has increased up to 30% and distribution losses have reduced by up to 40%.
Overall, geospatial technology provides the sector with improved planning and operational efficiency, and also results in reduced losses as companies are able to identify problems sooner. Thus, geospatial technology is beneficial to both the consumer and the stakeholder.
