Industry

Energy

Assets, field crews and generation data in one place, with ESG reports drawn from the same numbers. Energy companies in India range from distribution utilities and power producers to solar and wind developers, rooftop installers and EV charging operators. They manage physical assets spread over large areas, so value comes from maintenance planning, field crew coordination, monitoring generation and loss, and reporting accurately to regulators and investors.

  • Solar and wind developers and IPPs
  • Power distribution utilities
  • Rooftop solar installers and EPC firms
  • EV charging operators
  • Captive and open access power users
  • Energy service companies

The pressure points

What slows energy teams down

Maintenance happens too late
Inverters, transformers and turbines are serviced on fixed calendars or after failure, so generation losses add up before anyone acts.
Field crews hard to coordinate
Technicians cover large areas with work orders sent by phone, and supervisors cannot see who is where or what was done.
Data in many monitoring systems
SCADA, inverter portals, meter data and weather feeds each show part of the picture, so performance analysis is a monthly spreadsheet task.
ESG and regulatory reporting
BRSR, lender reports and regulator filings each ask for similar figures in different formats, compiled by hand every quarter.

Built for this sector

Systems specific to energy

The work that generic software does not cover, and where most of the value sits.

Plant monitoring and SCADA integration
Data from inverters, SCADA, meters and weather stations collected into a time series store with alarms and performance analysis.
Meter data management
Smart meter reads, validation, estimation, billing determinants and loss analysis by feeder and distribution transformer.
EV charging management
Charger network status, OCPP integration, session billing, roaming and load management across sites.
Permit to work and safety
Electrical isolation permits, lockout tagout records, toolbox talks and incident reporting for field operations.

Where AI helps

AI use cases with a clear return

  1. Predictive maintenance on equipment

    Uses inverter, transformer and turbine data to spot early signs of failure such as rising temperatures or falling efficiency.

    Crews fix problems in planned visits, and generation losses from unexpected failures shrink.

  2. Field reports into structured data

    Technicians speak or type their findings and attach photos, and the system turns it into a structured work order closure.

    Maintenance history becomes structured data your team can analyse.

  3. Generation and demand forecasting

    Forecasts solar and wind output from weather data, and consumption by feeder, for scheduling and DSM planning.

    Better day ahead schedules and fewer deviation charges.

  4. Soiling and fault detection from drone images

    Analyses drone or thermal images of solar plants for hot spots, broken modules and dirty panels.

    Cleaning and replacement are planned where they recover the most output.

  5. ESG report drafting

    Compiles BRSR and investor ESG disclosures from operational data and drafts narrative sections for review.

    Reports are consistent with operating data and take less time to prepare.

Before you start

Energy: common questions

Can you connect to our existing SCADA and inverter portals?

Usually yes, through OPC, Modbus, the vendor's APIs or exported files. We keep the integration read only unless control functions are explicitly needed and approved.

How do you handle security for operational technology?

We keep IT and OT networks separated, follow CEA cyber security guidelines, pull data through one way gateways where required and restrict remote access.

Does the field app work without network coverage?

Yes. Work orders, checklists and photos are stored on the device and sync when the crew is back in coverage.
