ConEdison as a leading utility sought to increase visibility into data across its ecosystem
  • Meter Data Management (MDM): ConEdison’s Meter Data Management System (MDMS) provides accurate billing of complex tariffs, greater operational efficiencies, and has improved service to ConEdison customers. With the recent implementation of the EnergyIP 8.7 MDM System, ConEdison is one of the first energy providers in the United States capable of recording and processing electric power meter data in near real-time, providing faster identification and response times for outages and critical safety alerts, including natural gas detection alerts.
  • Customer Information System (CIS): As part of the MDMS work, Siemens Advanta is moving ConEdison’s legacy customer system to an advanced CIS system. The project will provide a single, unified solution that supports billing capabilities and customer care operations.
  • High Pressure Fluid Filled (HPFF) Transmission: In this pilot program, Siemens Advanta is providing ConEdison with a data driven solution to help detect leaks earlier and more accurately than the current methodology. The custom AI model, developed specifically for ConEdison, is a first of its kind utility leak detection approach. Leveraging data from past leaks to train the AI model, the system will provide ConEdison with insight that a leak has occurred in a timely manner.
  • Connected Worker Safety: In this pilot program, Siemens Advanta is providing ConEdison with a platform and apps to enhance safety using a worker’s smart phone. The goal of the Connected Worker Safety Pilot is to enhance overall workplace safety by providing ConEdison teams with an app that coaches them on ergonomic safety and gives alerts on hazardous conditions. The mobile app will enable ConEdison to increase awareness at the individual worker level to reduce risk of injury and sustain a positive safety culture.
  • Manhole Monitoring Program: ConEdison recently completed a pilot program supporting its Underground Distribution System assets. Specifically, the effort was a collaboration to enhance safety to the public walking the streets of NYC, where there are ~ 280,000 manholes, reducing the number of false positive alarms, improving safety, and reducing costs
"ConEdison has one of the most complex and reliable electric power systems in the world, and we need to make sure that this digitalization program benefits our entire value chain, from worker safety to the customer interface. Siemens Advanta has been a true "partner" in assisting us to identify the right solutions – and Siemens Advanta even developed custom pilot programs to meet our unique requirements, when needed."
Jeannine Haggerty, Vice President of Information Technology at ConEdison
The advanced technology is improving meter data, customer interface, transmission line management, and even manhole and worker safety. It is also transforming how customers monitor their usage of electricity – contributing to cost savings and environmental benefits. By investing in its grid, ConEdison is building climate resilience and advancing electrification, positioning the company as a leading example of leveraging IoT to modernize our nation’s critical infrastructure
