Utility owners strive above all to protect their assets and deliver reliable service to the public. 811 serves a critical role in ensuring that assets are located and marked for public awareness. As a central clearinghouse for utility data transmission and ticket administration, 811 stands to benefit from innovations in AI and other advanced technologies. AI for utilities can accelerate data sharing and field verification, improve utility record completeness and accuracy, and allocate field crews to high-priority locating needs. Advanced tools such as computer vision can further assist in digitizing, locating marks, and automatically detecting above-ground utility assets. This presentation looks at how utility owners and 811 can use AI to enhance their ongoing coordination, share utility data as early as possible, develop more proactive approaches to damage prevention, and make hours in the field truly count by positioning locating crews to deliver at maximum efficiency.
Learn how industry leaders from National Grid, Dominion Energy, and 4M Analytics are tackling this challenge together, applying AI to strengthen damage prevention and advance public safety.
We look forward to seeing you on this session.
