To better manage operations and transition to sustainable practices, many of these companies are turning to risk-based predictive asset management strategies over traditional and reactive approaches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-light-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-e9205ef8246a2d414f10709fe07913c8 wp-block-paragraph\">Not all assets are created equal, and the criticality and impact of asset failure is a fluid phenomenon, subject to change depending on environment and a place in time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-light-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-1cdd7616dfc0b94530e9eee97c2e0889 wp-block-paragraph\">Any asset can and will fail at some point and impact does not always equal criticality. For example,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/articles\/this-old-metal-hook-could-determine-whether-pg-e-committed-a-crime-11583623059\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">California\u2019s deadliest wildfire in 2018 was sparked by a failed \u201cC-hook\u201d purchased for 53 cents around the end of World War I<\/a>. It\u2019s not always the most expensive or visible asset that ends up being the most critical.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-light-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-eb195030bf0d826ca52eac70d1a9679f wp-block-paragraph\">As we continue down the path of a worldwide&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/blog.ifs.com\/2022\/01\/energy-utilities-and-resources-industry-predictions-2022-better-infrastructure-support-for-customers-and-our-planet\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">energy transition<\/a>, organizations must become responsible stewards of their operations. Globally, we need to take a proactive approach to predictive asset maintenance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-light-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-9580f0167f164cd655185ad3bf96274f wp-block-paragraph\">Why is this the case? The current&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/blog.ifs.com\/2021\/07\/living-in-a-tinder-box-the-challenges-of-maintaining-utility-services-infrastructure-in-a-climate-changed-world\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">climate<\/a>&nbsp;means we need to do more with less, both in terms of capital and resources. Utility companies need to respond more rapidly to an ever-increasing number of unplanned outages, fueled by an increased reliance on their networks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-light-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-dd4302bc6bdec8196f82de63e0ddf52a wp-block-paragraph\">There is also a suite of competing objectives that require greater structure to asset maintenance strategies \u2013 from decarbonization, financial pressures, and aging infrastructure, compounded by the integration of new technologies. Simply put, it\u2019s a much bigger challenge than when the grid was first constructed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-light-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-e63b09c2765d56d4853e6c5f39eb1a37 wp-block-paragraph\">This is all while managing an increase in consumer expectations for organizations to deliver in the moment of service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-light-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-9fcf0fa356b9720a11f43e0083b2c698 wp-block-paragraph\">We know utility companies are in a precarious position where modernizing operations is fraught with the risk of fragmented integration within legacy systems and disparate data. To this end, many utility companies find it hard to justify the investment \u2013 with a perceived lack of tangible return on investment and the perceived fogginess of the energy transition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"945\" height=\"709\" src=\"https:\/\/track.com.tr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/image-11.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4716\" srcset=\"https:\/\/track.com.tr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/image-11.png 945w, https:\/\/track.com.tr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/image-11-300x225.png 300w, https:\/\/track.com.tr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/image-11-768x576.png 768w, https:\/\/track.com.tr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/image-11-348x260.png 348w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 945px) 100vw, 945px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-light-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-55ae8fa97f6578ae3ceb8ee77c6c0f05 wp-block-paragraph\">In 2021, we partnered with Zpryme to deliver the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/info.ifs.com\/predictive-asset-maintenance-decentralized-utilities?_ga=2.124422734.596710252.1647997260-892145803.1629170670\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Predictive Asset Maintenance for the Decentralized Utility report<\/a>&nbsp;to assess the utilities landscape. The report includes recommendations for the industry, but also identifies a range of challenges faced that prevent adoption of a predictive asset maintenance model:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-light-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-51cac33601f7978654ca1fba2aa1811c wp-block-paragraph\">These are all valid and common perceptions. But the way I like to see it, if you do a maintenance program well, the best you can hope for is\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-light-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-6e036ce1992dfe1983811ebaad4411c2 wp-block-paragraph\">\u2026nothing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-light-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-18e7809fac084da85350a8acad87b4b8 wp-block-paragraph\">There is no grand result, but mitigation of risk through these models is worth much more than it may seem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-light-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-d7e40293226ac692cd653e4468a49e69 wp-block-paragraph\">If a \u201cC-hook\u201d from circa 1920 with perceived low impact and low criticality can cause the devastation seen in California in 2018, then the return on investment of predictive asset maintenance models is already clear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-light-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-20c97d5311101a08f8e2365dc2bd593c wp-block-paragraph\">Beyond this, the return on investment of these programs comes down to the efficient use of resources \u2013 whether it is human capital, assets or financial investment that goes into the operation of the grid. The effect is the extension of the lifecycle of each of those assets and therefore an incremental improvement in resource efficiency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-light-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-db14886a078329446ba12094d4acc72e wp-block-paragraph\">This combines to create the flow on effect of freeing up capital for other projects. So, while maintenance is not that exciting with a flashy, tangible outcome; it creates availability of resources to be able to look at transformations that improve reliability and sustainability, enhance consumer experience and maintain network affordability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-light-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-74f3e0882a6d9337589aa89bf73d4ae1 wp-block-paragraph\">It comes down to a three-step process: inform, analyze, act.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-light-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-e4f09f6e771a939d6f59267ba26e6afd wp-block-paragraph\">Build a repository of data about your operations to break down silos and drive collaboration. Analyze the data to make informed risk management decisions, and then act on the identified areas. Ultimately, this combines to improve efficiency and financial control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-light-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-5001161aae131be8d92688d7b69514a9 wp-block-paragraph\">Utility companies of the future are challenged to improve reliability and&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/blog.ifs.com\/2022\/04\/why-manufacturers-need-a-value-focused-mindset-to-reach-their-sustainability-goals\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">sustainability<\/a>, enhance their customer experience and maintain their networks and affordability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-light-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-b16a4fd253b70708b302600122b5ce53 wp-block-paragraph\">They need to do more with less.
