Abstract:
The power and utility sector relies heavily on maintaining infrastructure reliability and operational safety. This study explores an advanced digital transformation strategy by Saudi Electricity Company (SEC) to improve as set health monitoring and predictive maintenance using artificial intelligence (AI), robotics, and surveillance technologies. This approach includes pilot implementations of CCTV and robotic monitoring for fuel tanks to detect leaks, as well as drones and AI- enhanced computer vision for the inspection of transmission lines. These pilot technologies are being evaluated for their ability to detect potential issues in real-time, with initial results indicating promising improvements in maintenance response, safety, and environmental. compliance.
