Need
The utility and energy sectors face critical challenges:
- Aging infrastructure is unable to cope with population growth and increased demand.
- Severe shortage of skilled workers and supervisors for specialized work.
- Reliance on third-party contractors, increasing quality control risks.
- Geographical constraints limit on-site inspections and audits.
- Risk of high non-compliance fines and reputational damage.
- Inefficient, paper-based processes cause delays in new technology rollouts.
- Difficulty in maintaining consistent safety and quality standards across global operations.
Solution
Vyntelligence have created a digital audit platform, powered by AI, specifically to address all of these issues. It provides:
- Smartphone app for collecting and sharing video/audio data from all sites.
- AI-powered analysis to identify high-risk sites and issues.
- Remote, real-time monitoring of contractor work and site conditions.
- Guided video recordings for start and end-of-day reporting.
- A searchable knowledge base with common data history across assets and sites.
- AI-enhanced identification of defects and recurring issues.
- Action-oriented dashboards and early KPI visibility.
Value
The Vyntelligence solution has delivered – and continues to deliver – nine major benefits:
- Cadent Gas: 82% reduction in non-compliance fines, 20% productivity increase.
- Openreach: 85% improvement in snag-free projects, 68% reduction in handover failures.
- Wind farm constructor: Enhanced QA/QC processes, upskilling of field teams.
- Global oil company: 5x more potentially fatal incidents identified in first 6 weeks.
- Dramatic reduction in audit times (e.g., from 14 days to 2 days for Openreach).
- Improved safety standards and compliance across global operations.
- Real-time, data-driven intelligence for faster decision-making.
- Clear audit trails and permanent records of quality and safety compliance.
- Ability to upskill and multiskill field teams, maximising limited human resources.
This solution demonstrates how AI-powered remote auditing can transform operations, reducing risks and improving performance across utility, energy, and other high-risk industries.
