Making Sense of Plant Data

Re-Thinking Service Interruptions from Architecture to Operations   

  • Building a centralized and automated solution to identify all interruptions and assign a potential root cause in near real-time by leveraging network telemetry 
  • Integrating a novel algorithm into the existing network ecosystem that can differentiate between various types of plant events and commercial power outages (CPO)
  • Use case analysis: How is the algorithm being used to identify root cause with the presence of alternative power sources?
  • Exploring how automated root cause identification enables a more efficient path to remediation resulting in a better operational and customer experience
