Germany's decentralized regulatory environment creates unique demands where flexible precision becomes competitive advantage. German operators emphasize risk reduction—shifting from manual processes to autonomous monitoring reduces both personnel and operational risk. Environmentally-friendly transformer fluids MIDEL 7131 and Cargill FR3 are growing globally with the same validation requirements.
Gomero, in collaboration with Trafag and Regal, delivers condition-based maintenance for grid operators – combining reliable sensors, local expertise, and AI-driven analysis to detect deviations early and support better decision-making.
Australia's vast distances fundamentally change predictive maintenance value. Extreme conditions drive innovations benefiting all markets: from wildlife-adapted filtration to cooling system monitoring and robust telecommunications. Distance is no longer a barrier—it's the driver behind remote-first operational models.
When large parts of Southern Europe were hit by power outages earlier this year, it became clear how vulnerable even a modern energy system can be. The climate is becoming increasingly unpredictable, and electricity demand is rising. Meeting this challenge requires both increased capacity and a smarter approach to managing the power grid.
Utility companies are redefining asset management from a reactive, administrative function to a strategic role central to decision-making. This shift is driven by electrification and the need for better data integration, enabling smarter, proactive infrastructure investments and operational efficiencies.
What does "out of the box" mean for energy sector IoT? Three critical questions to ask before your next predictive maintenance investment.
Gomero's digital maintenance solutions enhance substation efficiency while ensuring cybersecurity. Features include secure data communication, cloud-based protection, proactive monitoring, strict user access controls, reliable backups, and ISO 27001 certification, safeguarding the electrical grid against cyber threats and societal impacts.
Learn why energy sector digitalization projects fail to utilize data effectively and how advanced analytics transforms collected data into actionable insights.
With the help of more connected assets in Ellevio's substations, Gomero is contributing to one of Sweden's largest energy companies being able to work with more digitised maintenance inspections and workflows.
Predictive maintenance represents an important change in the energy sector. By replacing reactive and schedule-based strategies with data-driven, proactive monitoring, energy companies can increase operational reliability, reduce costs, and extend the lifespan of critical infrastructure.
Electricity grid operators worldwide are striving to connect critical assets remotely to streamline and digitize their maintenance. To support this development, Gomero is deepening its collaboration with IBM. Combining Gomero's advanced data collection and analysis technology with IBM's asset management platform creates an innovative and data-driven approach to substation maintenance.
Sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) has long played a crucial role in power grids. The gas's exceptional insulating properties make it indispensable for transformer stations and other high-voltage systems. However, SF6 is also one of the most potent greenhouse gases, making its management a key environmental issue.
