Every expert in the energy industry who is involved in the digitization of transformers knows that data from (power) transformers is sensitive and must be transferred securely. But how can we ensure that we can still collect and analyze the data? One solution to this is edge computing!
Edge computing means that the processing of data takes place directly at the data source instead of transferring it to the cloud. This means more security and less latency. Because especially with transformers, it is important that we can access the data quickly and reliably to avoid potential failures.
Why is data from transformers so important?
Just as in a human doctor's visit, where pulse and temperature are important metrics, in a transformer, for example, the condition of the oil or the temperature of the oil are of great importance. These measured parameters provide information about the condition of your transformers.
Intelligent sensors allow us to collect and process this data and link it directly to recommendations for action from qualified service personnel. This saves the customer money, time and personnel resources. The more data we collect through intelligent sensors, the more intelligent the transformer becomes!
👉 So take advantage of edge computing to use the data of your (power) transformers safely and effectively! 💪
