The infrastructure underpinning our energy and water systems was not designed for the demands now being placed on it. Assets are ageing, networks are more distributed than ever, and the volume of operational data being generated has outpaced the ability of most organisations to act on it. Operators need resilient solutions to maintain security and supply.
Closing that gap requires more than centralised analytics and cloud-first thinking. For utilities operating across thousands of distributed assets the intelligence needs to sit closer to where decisions happen. Edge computing is changing what that looks like in practice, and with it, what becomes possible for asset management, operational resilience and security across utilities.
This roundtable brings together senior leaders from energy and water to move beyond the theory. You will explore what it genuinely takes to deploy intelligent infrastructure at scale, learn from peers who are navigating the same challenges, and leave with knowledge for how to apply them.
Join to learn about:
- How edge deployments are enabling real-time decision-making across distributed utilities assets
- Where AI at the edge is shifting the economics of asset monitoring, fault detection and operational response
- What it takes to move from successful pilots to production-scale deployment across complex infrastructure
Discussion points:
- Setting the scene: where are the sharpest operational pain points across distributed assets today?
- Where is AI delivering genuine operational value at the edge? Where is it still falling short of expectations?
- How can cybersecurity and operational resilience be managed when intelligence is distributed across hundreds or thousands of assets?
- What do edge deployments look like in utilities? Where do they deliver measurable improvements?
- From substation modernisation in energy to remote monitoring in water infrastructure: what are the edge deployment use cases?
- Scaling transformation: what are the real barriers to scaling pilots into production and how can these be resolved?
- Systems integration: how can legacy operational technology be integrated with a modern digital infrastructure?
- Ensuring interoperability across utilities systems: what does good data governance look like?
- Looking ahead: what will the next decade look like as infrastructure becomes more distributed and more intelligent?
