From reactive to intelligent grid operation

Improve supply security. Reduce network operating costs in the long term.

Rising demands, ageing infrastructure and limited resources are presenting network operators with ever-greater challenges. At the same time, expectations regarding security of supply, efficiency and cost-effectiveness are on the rise.

Modern asset and service management solutions provide the transparency needed to identify risks at an early stage, manage maintenance activities effectively and utilise resources efficiently.

Watch our short videos to find out how network operators are future-proofing their network operations using SAP Asset Performance Management (APM), SAP Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) and SAP Field Service and Asset Management (FSA, formerly FSM).

Your benefits at a glance

Greater security of supply through predictive maintenance

Fewer unplanned disruptions and failures

Lower network operating costs through more efficient processes

Improved resource utilisation in office and field roles

Transparent decision-making criteria for all aspects of network operations

Higher asset availability through data-driven prioritisation of measures

Security of supply and cost-effectiveness are not mutually exclusive. The greatest potential lies where transparency, smart maintenance and efficient resource planning work together.

Reduce network operating costs

More efficient processes. Better use of resources. Sustained reductions in operating costs.

The economic pressure on network operators is constantly increasing. At the same time, they must meet ever-stricter requirements regarding documentation, maintenance and security of supply.

Many costs arise not from individual major incidents, but from day-to-day inefficiencies: unplanned disruptions, manual processes, unnecessary on-site visits or a lack of transparency when prioritising measures.

With the right tools, these opportunities can be systematically exploited. The following videos show how modern asset and service management solutions help to reduce costs in the long term.

Improving security of supply

Identify risks at an early stage. Prevent outages. Improve grid stability in the long term.

Security of supply is one of the core responsibilities of every network operator. At the same time, the challenges are mounting: ageing infrastructure, growing network loads, increasing complexity and limited resources are making it more difficult to ensure the reliable operation of critical infrastructure.

The key lies in data-driven and transparent control of network operations. Identifying risks at an early stage, monitoring critical assets in a targeted manner, and handling faults efficiently not only improves network stability but also enhances the quality of supply in the long term.

Watch the following videos to find out how SAP solutions help you actively shape security of supply.
