Utilities operations software

Utility operations software helps electric utilities monitor, manage, and optimize generation, transmission, distribution, substations, and field assets through a connected operational environment. By integrating operational technology (OT), business systems, and real-time data, utilities can improve reliability, increase operational efficiency, and make better decisions across the grid. Velotic brings together Proficy, Kepware, and ThingWorx to provide a unified operational intelligence platform for utilities.

Utilities improve grid reliability by gaining real-time visibility into asset health, operational conditions, alarms, and performance trends. Connected operational data enables teams to identify emerging issues earlier, respond faster to outages, and proactively address equipment risks before they impact customers.

Utility digital transformation is the modernization of utility operations through connected data, industrial IoT, advanced analytics, AI, and operational intelligence. The goal is to improve reliability, optimize asset performance, increase workforce productivity, and create a foundation for future grid modernization initiatives.

Kepware enables utilities to securely connect substations, RTUs, PLCs, intelligent electronic devices (IEDs), meters, SCADA systems, and enterprise applications. With more than 150 industrial drivers and broad protocol support, Kepware creates a standardized and trusted operational data foundation that supports analytics, visualization, and AI initiatives.

Utility SCADA software allows operators to monitor, control, and manage electrical infrastructure in real time. SCADA systems collect data from field devices and substations, providing situational awareness, alarm management, operational control, and faster response to grid events. Solutions such as Proficy iFIX support reliable utility operations through centralized monitoring and visualization.

iFIX provides real-time HMI/SCADA capabilities that allow operators to monitor grid conditions, visualize operational data, manage alarms, and respond quickly to changing system conditions. This improves operational awareness, reliability, and control room effectiveness.

Grid modernization refers to upgrading utility infrastructure, operational systems, and digital capabilities to improve reliability, resilience, efficiency, and customer service. Modernization initiatives often include operational intelligence, connected assets, industrial IoT, advanced analytics, and real-time operational visibility.

ThingWorx helps utilities connect, contextualize, visualize, and analyze operational data from across the enterprise. By transforming siloed information into real-time operational intelligence, ThingWorx enables improved asset monitoring, greater operational visibility, predictive analytics, and enterprise-wide decision-making.

Reducing outages begins with visibility into asset conditions and system performance. By combining real-time monitoring, historical analysis, predictive analytics, and operational intelligence, utilities can identify equipment degradation earlier, prioritize maintenance activities, and proactively address risks before failures occur.

Predictive maintenance uses real-time operational data, historical asset information, analytics, and machine learning to identify conditions that may lead to equipment failures. This enables utilities to move from reactive maintenance toward proactive maintenance strategies that improve reliability and reduce costs.

Proficy Historian captures and stores large volumes of operational and time-series data from utility assets and operational systems. Utilities use this information to analyze trends, investigate events, improve reporting, support compliance initiatives, and optimize long-term asset performance.

Asset performance management requires real-time visibility into asset condition, utilization, reliability, and operational impact. Connected operational intelligence helps utilities optimize maintenance resources, extend asset life, improve uptime, and maximize return on capital investments.

Artificial intelligence helps utilities move beyond reactive decision-making by identifying hidden patterns, predicting operational issues, and delivering recommendations for action. AI-supported operations enable earlier detection of equipment issues, improved planning, better maintenance decisions, and increased operational efficiency.

Yes. Velotic solutions are built on openness and interoperability, enabling utilities to connect existing OT and IT systems without replacing critical infrastructure. This approach supports modernization while preserving existing investments and reducing implementation risk.

Industrial IoT enables utilities to connect assets, systems, and people through real-time operational data. This improves monitoring, performance management, predictive maintenance, workforce productivity, and enterprise-wide visibility while creating a foundation for analytics and AI-driven operations.

Velotic combines Proficy, Kepware, and ThingWorx into a focused industrial software portfolio designed to help utilities connect data, optimize operations, maximize asset performance, and scale AI-driven intelligence. The open architecture approach allows utilities to modernize at their own pace while leveraging existing technology investments and building a foundation for future innovation.
