About the session

Digital solutions for network maintenance: drones and image processing, virtual and augmented reality, big data, data analytics and IoT

DSOs are facing huge challenges, in a global context of energy and digital transitions. At the same time, new digital technologies are emerging, that will support the increase of performance and the adaptation looked for by DSOs, including the field of asset management and network maintenance.
The following topics will be discussed: drones and image processing, virtual and augmented reality, data analytics and IoT.
Experiments and examples of operational implementation of innovative solutions will be presented and discussed, as well as state of the art and future prospects on these issues.
