Rugged Tablets for Microgrids

A microgrid is a small-scale, local energy system that can disconnect from the traditional utility grid and operate independently. It can function as a sophisticated backup power system during grid repairs or other events that cause extensive power outages because of its independence and capacity to continue operating on its own. A microgrid is far more resilient to storms and other natural calamities because there is no significant infrastructure to maintain or replace.

Rugged Tablet: The Right Technology for Renewable Energy

Highly distributed renewable energy sources like wind, solar, geothermal, and even hydrogen cells are replacing the era of enormously centralized energy sources. Coal, gas, and nuclear energy generation from centralized sources are all controlled by single, sizable organizations that distribute electricity. Yet, in order to handle thousands of separate energy-producing units and to more quickly coordinate their output, maintenance, and reporting than conventional power generation systems, distributed energy resources (DERs) need to be managed in new ways. Overall, this means an increase in operational efficiency on the part of energy companies.

Control Your Assets From “Anywhere” with Rugged Tablets

Asset management ensures that the tools used to complete a job can be easily located on-site, are available, and are in working order. The problem often is, there’s simply too much to track without a centralized system of accountability that isn’t a pen-and-paper process. With poor asset management practices comes increased labor costs, equipment losses, and the potential for unneeded spending on duplicate assets. Needless to say, you need your assets to be ready for use every day and rugged tablets can help.

Rugged Tablets: Helping Utility Sector in Digital Transformation

In order to prosper in the modern era, many businesses are turning to digital technology and a more inventive approach. Disruptive forces like we’ve seen over the last two years are transforming the power and utilities sector. Those that pass up the chance to change run the risk of falling behind or being replaced by more agile players.

Utilities of the Future Rely on Purpose-Built Technology Designed for their Needs

The future of utilities relies heavily on the innovation of technological advances and digitization of the industry. Utilities of the future are designed with smart technology to assist in the development, management, and maintenance of the utilities in a way that requires less labor-intensive hours and can be operated remotely. A future-focused utility provides reliable, safe, inclusive, transparent, and responsive services through best-fit practices that allow it to operate in an efficient, resilient, innovative, and sustainable manner.
