Alpiq, a leading Swiss electricity and energy services provider with a European footprint, has selected DigitalRoute's IoT Platform to drive the digitization of its business. It also aims to create an enterprise wide IoT solution that will consolidate the data from all portfolios.
In recent years, utilities have grown into one of the largest IoT (Internet of Things) industry segments and companies in the vertical have invested heavily in connecting assets to generate more efficient businesses and create new commercial opportunities. In 2016 Alpiq started the innovative energy solutions unit, which would lead the digital strategy and transform Alpiq into a digital innovator and market leader.
A central aspect of Alpiq's digital strategy is to develop, promote and market business models that require automated and highly developed smart technologies. Doing this requires taking control of asset data from across all the company's portfolios and consolidating it into one enterprise wide IoT platform, on top of which smart applications based on artificial intelligence for smart grid management, trading and demand side management can be leveraged.
With Alpiq's ambitious increase in the number of connected assets, it is critical that they are all managed effectively if commercial momentum is to result, said DigitalRoute.
DigitalRoute CEO Johan Bergh
Our IoT Platform is a game changer and we are delighted that Alpiq is leading the way and showing how Energy companies can use it to turn digitization from an opportunity into a commercial success.
