UTILITY INDUSTRY

Modernizing Infrastructure

Companies are under pressure to become more cost-effective, more reliable, more responsive, and more secure in the delivery of power, water and gas to consumers. New RF communication and control infrastructure is needed to satisfy these demands and often requires the integration of new equipment with existing infrastructure. Disparate, disconnected legacy systems need to be modernized. Aggregation of data is needed to gain real-time insights into system operation. System knowledge can no longer be isolated in individuals. Integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) has become essential.

TAV Networks, Inc. has years of experience integrating and deploying industrial networks for mission critical services. We were recently awarded a U.S. patent for a comprehensive generative AI system architecture to address streams of time-series sensor data. Our professional services include strategic planning, network design, data capture, system integration, project management, and field engineering to support implementation. TAV Networks has supported large utility industry clients since 2007. We’ve served our clients as technology experts, and our team has delivered services for the evaluation, installation, and remediation of modernized infrastructure.

Our Expertise Spans IoT Sensor System Needs

Sensor Selection – Sensors used for process monitoring, condition-based maintenance, and fault detection must satisfy an array of performance requirements: latency, availability, capacity, security, and battery life. We understand these performance requirements and their impact on system architecture, and we help clients navigate through requirement analysis, system architecture, and component selection.

RF Communications – The location of sensor endpoints cannot often be controlled. A fraction of endpoints are difficult to reach with radio coverage, so we’ve implemented a variety of network communication solutions to optimize coverage and radio signal reach. We’ve also developed alternate communication solutions for the most hard-to-reach endpoints to keep life cycle costs in check.

Cloud-Based and On-Premises Data Collection – Systems are being upgraded to provide connectivity to new sensors and control points, for integration with ML and AI cloud-based services, and to accommodate large increases in the volume of data. In addition to physical layer requirements, successful project execution requires consideration of device management, cybersecurity, redundancy, and compatibility. We help clients develop and implement the best possible solutions.

Actionable Insights – System of the future are expected to provide Threshold Detection, Anomaly Detection, Alarms, Notifications, API Integration, Compliance Reports, Work Order Generation, Direct Device Control, etc. We understand and can anticipate client needs, and assist in the development and implementation of the best possible solutions.
