| | MAY - 20196E ERGYTech ReviewThe energy industry is an essential part of the global society, economy, and environment. With the modern world consuming large amounts of energy, grid operators across the globe are experiencing higher operational costs than ever before. As a result, the energy landscape requires more energy-efficiency, automation, and machine versatility. To meet the needs, the industry is modifying the way that their assets are operated, maintained, and replaced. Playing a principal role in the evolution of the energy industry is the development of sensor technology supported by the advancement of IoT. The connected sensors deliver predictive rather than corrective maintenance without significantly increasing the risk of asset failure. For instance, sensors can detect when a critical piece of machinery is close to failing. Moreover, the technology's ability to collect and transmit data in real time is proving critical in the energy sector to create savings in both cost and energy. Also, to integrate renewable energy and distributed energy resources (DER) into energy generation mix, the utilities are turning to IoT, leveraging advanced communication networks, sensors, and remote monitoring capabilities. This helps them to have a real-time view of operations and respond quickly to any issues. By combining the sensor data with data analytics technologies, the utilities can make intelligent decisions that lead to lesser disruptions, and enhance reliability, security, and safety.Our goal with this special edition is to highlight the best-of-breed sensor service providers that leverage innovative technologies to drive customer success. This edition also blends thought leadership from subject matter experts with real stories on what selected vendors are doing for their clients, including exclusive insights from CIOs and CXOs.
