[Case Study] Utilizing IoT Technology for Inspection and Patrol Operations in Power Infrastructure

With the aging of utility poles and other equipment, there are challenges arising from changes in the business environment, such as the efficient maintenance and management of facilities and the power supply and demand structure due to the spread of renewable energy. By utilizing ICT/IoT technologies and general-purpose devices, we continuously monitor the operational status of equipment and streamline inspection tasks, thereby improving and enhancing operational efficiency.
Traditionally, loggers were installed on utility poles, and workers would take SD cards back for data analysis. However, by installing IoT gateways on the utility poles and aggregating data in the cloud, along with remote management of the gateways, we achieved efficiency and enhancement.
As a result, there was a significant reduction in visit costs.
