In a blog series aiming to show what the digital utility of the future looks like, contractors are even more important to bring into the conversation than FTEs and the truth is they’ve been left behind in terms of innovation, my topic for today. Why?
Electric utilities are overworked and undermanned and they’re being asked to do more with less while improving safety and situational awareness. How?
It’s a mistake to think that utilities are slow to adopt new technology. Truth be told, we’re all for anything that helps us get the lights back on faster. But just because technology is new doesn’t mean it helps do that. Replacing paper-based processes with a fancy new device that requires 20 extra steps is a non-starter. Line crews will seek the path of least resistance even if that means paper and handwritten reports. Needless to say, end-user adoption is critical.
When the lights go out, our modern way of life stops working. Outages from storms are truly devastating events and throughout my career there’s nothing better than getting a round of applause from a neighborhood after restoring power. Getting the lights back on, that’s why most of us do what we do.
