The Challenge

The National Power Utility faced significant safety risks and operational inefficiencies due todisconnected, manual workflows. Engineers struggled with locating remote assets, frequent “returntrips” caused by missing tools, and compliance gaps resulting from reliance on outdated papermanuals.

The Solution

We deployed the “Smart Field Service Assistant,” a mobile ecosystem empowering connected workers with:

  • Precision Navigation: Integrated GIS with Offline Mode and QR/RFID scanning to ensure 100% “Right-Asset” maintenance.
  • Smart Resource Planning: AI-driven “Pre-Climb” validation predicts required tools and syncs with inventory to eliminate wasted trips.
  • AI Safety Enforcement: Computer Vision validates safety evidence (e.g., grounding) in real-time, enforcing strict Digital SOP adherence.
  • GenAI Copilot: A RAG-powered chatbot providing instant, voice-activated access to technical manuals and troubleshooting guides.

The Result

  • 100% compliance with safety protocols through mandatory AI-verified digital workflows (E-SOPs), significantly reducing accident liability.
  • 30% reduction in ‘return trips’ by accurately predicting required tools andparts before engineers leave the depot.
  • 40% decrease in on-site troubleshooting time
  • Eliminated 100% of “wrong-asset” maintenance errors through precise GIS navigation and QR-code locking mechanisms.​
