Deploying IOT across an Enterprise
Con Edison uses advanced technology to enhance data accuracy, billing, line management, and safety, while offering real-time usage monitoring for cost savings and environmental benefits.
Con Edison as one of the nation’s largest utilities sought to increase visibility into data across its ecosystem.
Implemented a range of innovative solutions to address these challenges using IoT and advanced technologies, with Siemens' support.
- Advanced Meter Data Management (MDM)
- Customer Information System (CIS) Transformation
- High Pressure Fluid Filled (HPFF) Transmission Line
- Manhole Monitoring Program
Advanced technology improves data, interfaces, safety, and electricity monitoring for cost and environmental benefits. ConEdison's grid investment builds resilience and advances electrification, leading IoT modernization of infrastructure.
- Operations and worker safety
- Cost savings and environmental benefits
- Customer visibility
Con Edison's complex power system aims to benefit its value chain through digitalization, from safety to customer interface. Siemens Advanta has been a crucial partner, providing tailored solutions and custom pilot programs.
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. Leveraging Siemens' Gridscale X Meter Data Management software, 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.
Unlock the full potential of your smart meter data
Gridscale X Meter Data Management (formerly EnergyIP® MDM) accelerates utilities' digital transformation, extending meter data management beyond meter-to-cash. It's open, interoperable, and scalable, helping utilities understand data, forecast accurately, and operate efficiently.
Customer Information System (CIS)
As part of the MDMS work, Siemens Advanta supported the migration of ConEdison’s legacy customer system to an advanced CIS system. The project provided a single, unified solution that supports billing capabilities and customer care operations.
High Pressure Fluid Filled (HPFF) Transmissions
In this pilot program, Siemens Advanta provided 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 provided ConEdison with timely insight that a leak occurred.
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.
Con Edison is a pioneer utilizing data in near real time
Consolidated Edison, Inc., one of the largest US energy companies, has digitalized its operations using open-source cloud technology to enhance data, customer interfaces, line management, and safety. This technology improves operations and transforms electricity usage monitoring for cost and environmental benefits. ConEdison's grid investment builds climate resilience and advances electrification, positioning it as a leader in IoT infrastructure modernization.
