What is VisOps for power and utilities?

Deviance heat map highlighting asset anomalies in a power plant using VisOps

VisOps (visual operations) is redefining operations in the power and utilities sector by integrating visual data into day-to-day workflows.

This approach allows teams to monitor and analyze real-time conditions at plants, substations, and other critical infrastructure. By enabling remote collaboration and providing instant access to the latest visual data, VisOps enhances safety, operational efficiency, and decision-making.

VisOps for Power & Utilities: Use Cases

Harness the full potential of your reality capture data

Unlock use cases and drive your plant towards a more sustainable and productive future.

Infrastructure management

Reality capture data creates accurate, navigable 3D models of power plants, substations, and utility networks.

These detailed virtual models allow for better management of infrastructure by providing clear visualizations of the current state of assets. Engineers can use these models for planning maintenance, upgrades, and expansions, leading to more efficient resource allocation and reduced downtime.

Enable detailed visual inspections of transmission lines, transformers, pipelines, and more.

By using reality capture data, utility companies can identify wear and tear, structural damage, and other potential issues without the need for physical inspections. This allows for proactive maintenance scheduling, reducing unexpected breakdowns, and extending the lifespan of critical assets.

During new construction or the upgrade of existing infrastructure, VEERUM provides an accurate and reliable reference.

Reality capture data ensures that the virtual models are accurate representations of the physical environment. This allows project managers to plan and execute activities with higher precision, reducing the risk of errors. Projects stay on schedule, and costs can be managed effectively.

Detailed visual representations of power and utility infrastructure assist in emergency response planning.

Reality capture data helps create accurate layouts of facilities and networks in a reality-site which can be used to develop effective emergency response strategies. In the event of a disaster, these models provide critical information for decision-makers to quickly coordinate response efforts and assess damage.
