Yes, EPIC iO Does That!
Did You Know That Utility Companies…
- Manage electricity and natural gas services that span hundreds of thousands of square miles?
- Maintain active construction sites that reliably bring those essential services to tens of millions of paying customers?
- Protect critical infrastructure that countless people depend on every day from suspicious activity, damage, theft, and vandalism.
How Do Utility Companies Accomplish All This?
By taking on MASSIVE Technology challenges, of course.
Such was the case with a large U.S. utility company serving more than 16 million people spread out across 70,000 square miles.
Keep in mind that utility providers are more than just another company. They provide services that are considered essential – in this case, natural gas and electricity. This is vital infrastructure that many of us take for granted, but that would cause our lives to quickly break down if we were forced to live without it.
For a utility provider of this size, having full visibility into your infrastructure is critical – and this particular organization wanted to take its security to the next level by leveraging intelligent solutions.
They needed as much visibility and awareness as possible in all their locations, including substations and construction yards.
When this utility company realized that they wouldn’t be able to accomplish all this on their own, they turned to EPIC iO to evaluate AI-powered solutions.
- They needed intelligent security across 70,000+ square miles to protect their infrastructure.
- They needed to view activity across vast geographical locations through one platform and understand the analytics and insights across their entire Utility.
Our response?
Yes! EPIC iO Does That!
Throughout the course of this project, EPIC iO was able to help the utility company in a wide range of different ways, including:
- Deployed our state-of-the-art EPIC iO Universal Internet Gateways as close to the action (at the edge) as possible. This enables faster, smarter decision-making for organizational leaders thanks to the massive volume of actionable information collected by surveillance cameras.
- Leveraged AI-powered mobile surveillance units in not only remote and hard-to-reach areas but also temporary locations. All equipment is equipped with our sophisticated, built-in Universal Internet Gateways powered by enterprise 4G/5G connectivity.
- Implemented an open-source AI platform, DeepInsights, to add intelligence to the cameras, provide real-time, valid alerts, and aggregate all data across the utility for analysis and insights to continue to evolve their security and surveillance solutions.
