Damage prevention is of major importance at utilities companies. Doing that effectively became more difficult when COVID hit early this year, a complicating factor. Fortunately, Urbint is there to partner with utilities.
That's why at Urbint Anticipate, the marquee conference on field risk mitigation and the future of safety in utilities, the PUF team attended online to bring you memorable and meaningful moments from that conference. The safety experts were there to weigh in.
Not only that, but you don't want to miss a huge announcement made by Urbint at the conference. Yep, that is right, and it has to do with new predictive AI technology that identifies safety threats to workers in the field, enabling supervisors to prevent serious injuries and fatalities. It is huge, so read on to find out more.
Southern Company Gas, Chief Data Officer, Emeka Igwilo: When COVID hit, our biggest fear was, will our locators have enough people if there's an outbreak. A couple of weeks into it, what hit me was the biggest thing we needed to guard against was incidents that created clusters. If you have a mass outage it creates a need for employees to cluster to respond to it, and those were things we wanted to avoid.
