Industries — energy and utilities

Operational intelligence for critical infrastructure.

Energy and utility operations do not stop. Pipelines, platforms, refineries, substations, and generating assets run continuously, and the cost of an unplanned outage is measured in hours no one can recover.

The work

Distributed assets, one operating picture.

Field technicians work alone at remote sites. Control room operators watch a system they cannot walk. Maintenance teams inherit records written hours after the fact. Visor gives operators real-time visibility across their assets, with AI tools built for every one of those roles.

Substation switching, permit-to-work, valve line-ups, and cable splices run as controlled procedures, confirmed at each step and recorded as they are performed. Hazardous atmospheres, exposure risk, and missing PPE are flagged while there is still time to act.

Sensor feeds, equipment telematics, and worker inputs land in a single live view, so the control room sees the whole picture rather than fragments.

Compliance

Compliance evidence, produced as the work is done.

Visor supports NERC CIP compliance documentation, API RP standards, ISO 55001 asset management, and OSHA PSM requirements, with automated inspection records, permit-to-work documentation, and audit trails.
