Hello Asset Health Analytics Community Members,
I hope all is well! We are one week away from our March (2023) Asset Health Analytics Community Conversation and want to get you excited about the session taking place. On Wednesday, March 22 at 2:00 PM CT, we’ll be joined by Alex Hong, Remote Sensing Data Platform Solutions Architect and Product Owner and Hamilton Erridge, Remote Sensing Data Platform Program Manager at Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E). As this discussion will be interactive, we encourage you to come prepared with questions and your insight.
Learn more about this session and our speakers below!
Session Description:
Faced with an aging infrastructure, two decades of drought, and the devastation of California Wildfires, the session will demonstrate how the use of remote sensing technologies and Esri solutions manages images and mapping to provide utilities with the necessary tools to maintain compliance, manage assets, and reduce the risk of wildfires.
Pacific Gas and Electric Companywill provide a discussion and demonstration of how their company is using sensor data (images, LiDAR, and videos) specifically for mitigating risks associated with assets causing wildfires in Northern California.
Speaker: Alex Hong, Remote Sensing Data Platform Solutions Architect and Product Owner (PG&E)
