[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 supply-demand structure of electricity 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 enhancing and improving operational efficiency.
Traditionally, loggers were installed on utility poles, and workers would take the SD cards home 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 advancement.
As a result, there was a significant reduction in visit costs.
