Remote asset monitoring for utility companies

Osperity’s cloud-based solution enables utility companies to inspect and monitor their remote locations and assets from anywhere with any connected device – outside of corporate IT

Utility companies own massive infrastructure networks, including poles, conductors and substations. They are considered critical infrastructure which must be monitored, inspected and maintained. A lot of manpower, time, money and other resources are consumed to ensure safety and security.

According to Forbes:
“Utilities’ CIOs, CISOs and IT leaders need to consider how they can integrate AI and video analytics into their enterprise security strategy today. Using video cameras as sensors, every threat surface a Utility business has can be monitored 24/7 and, when combined with software, secured to every endpoint.“

In a post-COVID world where a reduced on-site workforce is quickly becoming the norm AI is enhancing human jobs. With Osperity companies can increase productivity through virtual asset inspections, improve HSE compliance with automated safety monitoring as well as greatly strengthen security and accountability through proactive activity detection and exception-based alerting.

Osperity uses advanced industrial computer vision (CV) a type of artificial intelligence where computers are trained to recognize objects and activity at industrial sites from images. Our platform detects vehicles, people, equipment, fire and smoke activity at key areas and then tags and stores related imagery.

Clients receive activity alerts based on personal, customizable alert subscriptions. Our platform makes it easy to compile reports with images from an event, and to share the alert with whomever needs the information.With Osperity companies can increase productivity through virtual asset inspections, improve HSE compliance with automated safety monitoring as well as greatly strengthen security and accountability through proactive activity detection and exception-based alerting.
