Real-Time Analytics Shed Light on African Power & Water Challenges<\/a>: <\/p>\n

\"\"FuseForward, a provider of cloud and analytic solutions, demonstrated the benefits real-time analytics can deliver to African utilities during the African Utility Week conference and exhibition. Held from 14-16 May in Cape Town, South Africa, African Utility Week is the leading conference for African power, energy and water professionals.<\/p>\n

FuseForward\u2019s Founder and CEO, Mark Damm, was excited about the opportunity to provide analytic solutions that shed light on the challenges faced by utilities in Sub-Saharan Africa.<\/p>\n

\u201cUtilities in Africa face a range of issues, many of which affect their ability to meet basic demands for water and electricity,\u201d says Mark.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe know that the availability of reliable and complete data is critical in order for utilities to find solutions to their challenges. Data from IoT devices and smart meters can help, but developing the technology required to ingest, store and make sense of this information is a barrier for many resource-strapped utilities.\u201d<\/p>\n

FuseForward\u2019s cloud platform provides a secure, reliable way for utilities to store, aggregate and analyze data from their IoT and smart devices, delivering the comprehensive performance information utilities need within a single interface.<\/p>\n

Example utility challenges that FuseForward can address include:<\/p>\n

\u2022 Demand management: Data from devices and external sources can be used to predict peak electricity or water usage times, enabling better management of resources.
\u2022 Preventative maintenance: Deteriorating infrastructure can often be the cause of outages in Sub-Saharan Africa. By analyzing sensor data from equipment and infrastructure, utilities can obtain real-time maintenance alerts, preventing outages before they occur.<\/p>\n

With the event closing today, Mark is optimistic about the future of the industry, and the role FuseForward can play.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve had a chance to hear first-hand about the challenges facing utilities and are looking forward to the opportunity to help solve them. Not only do analytic solutions in this sector have the ability to provide business improvements for utilities, they also play a role in improving the delivery of power and water across Sub-Saharan Africa\u2014and that\u2019s something our team is very enthusiastic about!\u201d<\/p>\n
