What was the problem?
- Reactive staff having to repeatedly travel and physically assess pole position changes, especially following weather events such as cyclones and flood
- Often in difficult terrain and without proper road access
Omexom’s solution
- Use of tilt sensors, aka inclinometers, running on telco One NZ’s IoT (Internet of Things) network
- Allows remote monitoring of power pole angles
- Mounted on each pole, sensors detect changes in angle
Benefit to the client
- Realtime data from Omexom reactive team provide instant updates to stakeholders
- Alerted immediately when significant angle changes occur
- Resources can be allocated to more value-adding work, rather than just reactive
- Enhanced health and safety for field staff
