Utilities invest heavily in inspection programs, but many still struggle to connect inspections to actual repair work. Disconnected systems, manual processes, and delays between the field and office often lead to reactive maintenance, increased costs, and unnecessary risk to reliability and safety.
In this session, we will explore how utilities can close the gap between inspection and repair by connecting field data, workflows, and follow-up work into a single, streamlined process. Using a real-world example from Modesto Irrigation District (MID), we’ll show how modernizing inspection workflows and automating assignments enables teams to move from reactive response to proactive maintenance.
