Why energy and utilities need AI‑powered digital signage
Power grids, water systems, and pipelines are complex, real‑time operations where information latency can cause blackouts, safety incidents, or regulatory fines. ScreenaAI turns any screen into a live operational dashboard – pulling data from operations data, GIS, and outage management systems to give operators and field crews instant visibility.
Key benefits for utilities
- Reduce outage duration – Real‑time outage maps and crew tracking help dispatchers assign resources faster.
- Improve safety compliance – Display daily safety briefings, tailgate topics, and incident reports on field office screens.
- Enhance grid awareness – Live load, frequency, and voltage data reduce operator cognitive load.
- Streamline regulatory reporting – Display real‑time SAIDI/SAIFI metrics, compliance status, and environmental alerts.
Common energy and utilities use cases
- Control room video walls: Live operations data diagrams, load curves, generation dispatch, and intertie flows.
- Outage management: Real‑time outage maps, crew locations, estimated restoration times, and customer call volume.
- Field offices: Safety briefings, job hazard analyses, equipment status, and weather alerts.
- Substation display panels: Asset health (transformer temperature, tap position, breaker status), maintenance schedules.
- Environmental compliance: Emissions data, water quality metrics, and permit limit status.
How AI transforms utility signage
Instead of relying on static displays or multiple operator screens, connect your operations data and outage system once. The AI pulls real‑time data and formats it into clean dashboards. You can also set conditional rules: “If line loading exceeds 90%, highlight the affected feeder in red and push an alert to the dispatcher’s screen.”
Integration with operations data systems (OSI, GE, Siemens), outage system (Survalent, DCSI), and GIS (ESRI, Smallworld) allows you to display live network topology, outage progression, and field crew status. The AI can also pull weather data (lightning, wind, ice) and display storm tracking overlays on outage maps.
Setup in under 2 hours
Deploy ScreenaAI on existing control room video wall processors, field office TVs, and safety boards. Connect supported dashboard, calendar, website, and content sources. Then use natural language to design screens: “Show system load, generation by plant, and a rolling 15‑minute outage count.”
Can ScreenaAI show utility operations dashboards?
ScreenaAI can show supported dashboard and app sources your team already uses, such as Grafana, Power BI, Tableau, calendars, websites, and approved operations views.
How often does data refresh on control room screens?
You can set refresh intervals as low as 1 second for critical operations data. For outage maps, 5‑10 seconds is typical.
Is this NERC‑CIP compliant for display of sensitive data?
ScreenaAI can be deployed in a NERC‑CIP environment with appropriate access controls and audit logging. Contact our security team for a compliance review.
Can field crews see outage assignments on their tablets?
Yes. ScreenaAI includes a mobile‑optimised web view. Crews can see outage maps, assignments, and safety briefings from any device.
Does it work with our existing video wall hardware?
Yes. ScreenaAI runs on any web‑connected display processor. We support 4K, custom resolutions, and video wall layouts.
