  February 2021 Asset Health Analytics Meeting Follow Up + What’s Next

  Posted by Kevin Praet (Adm) on February 26, 2021 at 5:16 am

  Hello Asset Health Analytics Community Members,

  Thank you to everyone who attended our “Solve My Problem” session on Wednesday! For those unable to attend, we discussed solutions to the following challenges/problems:

  • Problem #1: What are your practices for data management and integration, and managing data quality?
  • Problem #2: Vegetation management relies on varied, complex, and unstructured data. What practices is your utility using to shift from routine inspections to a condition-based approach, relying on more sophisticated analytics, regarding vegetation management? What outcomes have you seen from these practices?

  Special thanks to Charlie Schaefer, Director of IT at Ameren, and Jennifer Foster, Sr. Manager, Transmission and Distribution Asset Management, who facilitated Wednesday’s discussion.

  For anyone that was unable to attend, you can catch up with a full recording and slide deck HERE. If you haven’t taken our post meeting evaluation survey, please also take a minute and complete HERE.
