Utilities operate in complex environments, with dispersed infrastructure and growing expectations for performance and environmental compliance. Traditional monitoring approaches often leave operators reacting to issues rather than preventing them. SIPP Hub addresses this challenge by connecting transformers, switchgear, and other critical assets to a centralised management platform.
Connecting critical assets to actionable insights
A key advantage of SIPP Hub is its ability to integrate with various asset management systems, such as IBM’s Maximo Asset Management (MAS), or other platforms already in use by utilities. This allows sensor and operational data to be consolidated with work orders, streamlining maintenance planning and ensuring timely, informed decision-making.
“The synergy here is remarkable,” says Colin Williams, Principal Technology Specialist, IBM. “IBM brings a global perspective and technological expertise, while Gomero offers unparalleled specialisation in energy and utility operations. Together, we’ve created a solution that connects physical assets at the edge, such as substations and transformers, to IBM’s Maximo domain. This integration not only improves asset performance management but also scales globally to address industry-wide challenges.”
