AI-Driven Dashboards for Operational Intelligence in Utilities

Overview

A leading utility provider operating across electricity, water, and gas distribution in South Asia faced growing pressure to modernize its operational intelligence systems.

With over 40 million customers and infrastructure spanning thousands of kilometers, the organization struggled to manage real-time data, optimize field operations, and respond proactively to outages and inefficiencies.

Client Background and Challenges

The client’s legacy systems were siloed, reactive, and heavily reliant on manual reporting. Operational decisions were often delayed due to fragmented data sources, lack of predictive insights, and limited visibility into asset performance. As regulatory mandates tightened and customer expectations rose, the need for a unified, intelligent dashboard system became urgent.

1. Fragmented Data Ecosystem:  Operational data was scattered across SCADA systems, ERP platforms, field service logs, and IoT sensors—making it difficult to generate a unified view of performance.

2. Reactive Decision-Making:  Outages, leakages, and service disruptions were often addressed after customer complaints, rather than through predictive alerts or automated workflows.

3. Limited Field Visibility:  Supervisors lacked real-time insights into field crew locations, task progress, and asset conditions—leading to inefficiencies and delays.
