Smarter Utility

Helping companies transform massive volumes of real-time, historical and predictive data into intuitive displays for rapid decision-making, Space-Time Insight has unveiled the Situational Intelligence Suite for Utilities.

Speeding time to value, and facilitating collaboration across departments, the suite includes the first out-of-the-box domain-specific applications designed to visualize and analyze assets, resources and operating conditions and is built on innovative geospatial and visual analytics software. The first application in the suite is Smart Meter Intelligence, to be available this quarter, the company stated in a press release.

Smart Meter Intelligence provides rich visual context around smart meter data with pre-built geospatial and traditional analytics displays, domain-specific models, and configurable business rules. The application can be configured and deployed in weeks with minimal IT resources, integrating seamlessly with existing meter data management (MDM) and other systems to populate the displays.

Reducing missed billing cycles due to unread meters, and improving operational efficiency, the solution's geospatial visualization capabilities help users identify and solve problems more proactively.

“Space-Time Insight's successful customer deployments in the utilities sector makes this market a natural fit for our first industry-specific application,” said Rob Schilling, Space-Time Insight's CEO. “Power companies have invested tens of millions of dollars in AMI infrastructure and are severely challenged in achieving ROI. With Smart Meter Intelligence, Space-Time Insight is empowering organizations to combine petabytes of meter data with numerous other data sources to create relevant, actionable information that directly adds value in the form of improved customer service”

Recently, the company announced the appointment of Gary Hanna as the company's senior vice president of Sales for North America. With over 25 years of sales and sales and executive management experience in information technology, Hanna will play a key role in helping Space-Time Insight meet growing market demand for situational intelligence.
