Benefits of a Digitized View for Infrastructure Owners

Infrastructure owners, such as those in the energy, telecommunications, transportation, and real estate industries, manage a large number of physical assets. These assets range from power plants and transmission lines to cell towers and buildings. The maintenance and management of these assets require accurate and up-to-date information about their current condition, location, and usage. A fully digitized view of these structures and properties can provide immense value to infrastructure owners. In this Verdantas Pivot Point blog post, we will discuss the benefits of having a fully digitized view of infrastructure assets.

Efficient Asset Management

A fully digitized view of infrastructure assets can help infrastructure owners make informed decisions about maintenance, repairs, and replacements. They can use data to identify trends and patterns, forecast demand, and make strategic investments in their assets. By having all data about their assets in one place, they can quickly assess the condition of their assets and prioritize maintenance and repairs based on the level of urgency. They can also track usage patterns, identify areas where assets are being underutilized, and optimize the use of their assets.

Improved Safety and Compliance

Infrastructure owners are responsible for ensuring the safety of their assets and complying with various regulations. A comprehensive and easily accessible view of their assets can help multiple parts of their operation monitor safety risks and ensure compliance with regulations. For example, they can quickly identify assets that are in need of repairs or upgrades to ensure safety compliance. They can also track compliance with environmental regulations, such as emissions standards or waste disposal requirements.

Enhanced Communication and Collaboration

Infrastructure owners can share data about their assets with contractors, service providers, and government agencies, improving communication and collaboration among key stakeholders. This can help reduce delays and misunderstandings and improve the efficiency of projects. For example, by sharing data about the location of assets and access points, service providers can quickly and safely access assets for maintenance and repairs.

Increased Resilience

A fully digitized view of infrastructure assets can help infrastructure owners increase the resilience of their assets. They can use data to identify vulnerabilities and potential risks and take proactive measures to mitigate them. For example, they can identify areas at risk of natural disasters and plan for emergency responses or invest in infrastructure upgrades to improve their resilience to those disasters.

Summary

A data-driven view of infrastructure assets can provide immense value to infrastructure owners. By providing accurate and up-to-date information about their assets, they can make informed decisions about maintenance and repairs, ensure safety and compliance, improve communication and collaboration, make better decisions, and increase the resilience of their assets. Therefore, infrastructure owners should invest in digitizing their assets to reap these benefits and stay ahead of the competition.
