DECEMBER 202219CXO INSIGHTSHOW JEA USES IIOT TO ENABLE CONDITION-BASED ASSET MONITORING AT THE GRID EDGEIn spring of 2018, JEA reemphasized its efforts to determine the best path forward towards a condition-based asset maintenance program. What emerged from a myriad of viable options was a scalable, sustainable IIoT (Industrial Internet of Things) Platform, powered by intelligent edge devices and robust data handling capabilities.Like all utilities, JEA is evolving into new business models as consumer demands, and the technology landscape changes at a staggering pace. One of the evolving business models of critical importance is asset management, and maintaining the multi-billion dollar portfolio of assets supporting electric, water, and wastewater service operations at the 8th largest municipal utility in the US. With a vast service area of over 850 square miles, JEA turns to technology ­ some legacy, and some emerging ­ to add efficiency, awareness, and transparency to our asset management processes.By Steven Selders, Director, IT Strategy & Solution Development, JEA Rob Raesemann, Principal, Raesemann EnterprisesRob RaesemannSteven Selders
