Buzz Solutions offers seamless integration with Esri's ArcGIS software to amplify energy resilience and enhance location-based insights for a smarter, more reliable utility infrastructure.
PALO ALTO, Calif., June 26, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Buzz Solutions, an AI company that enables a smart, stable and resilient energy infrastructure, today announced it has joined the Esri Partner Network (EPN) Silver program. Esri is the global market leader in geographic information system (GIS) software, location intelligence, and mapping.
Buzz Solutions is leveraging utilities' existing investment in Esri's ArcGIS software to deploy geographically accurate base maps to its utility clients. ArcGIS Basemaps and the utilities' own authoritative infrastructure data are now interactive, ready-to-use maps that add a contextual layer to Buzz Solutions' AI technology. Esri has also recently awarded Buzz Solutions the ArcGIS System Ready Specialty designation for Buzz Solution's PowerAI solution.
Esri's powerful geographic science and geospatial intelligence technology furthers Buzz Solutions' mission to safeguard the world's energy infrastructure. Using Esri's technology, Buzz Solutions can more quickly and effectively identify physical infrastructure anomalies that, when unaddressed, pose major threats to the grid. Further, when analyzed together, Buzz Solutions and Esri's data provide a clearer picture of the health of the nation's utility system and identify areas for improvement with data at the core.
"GIS and AI technologies can help to build a more sustainable world, and this is a vision that we share with Buzz Solutions," said Matt Piper, Global Director of Industry Solutions: Utilities, Telecom, Water, AEC at Esri. "The ongoing transformation of the energy grid plays a big part in both environmental and societal sustainability and innovative solutions such as those provided by Buzz, are leading the way for better infrastructure inspections with the power of AI. We welcome them to the Esri Partner Network."
"The health of our utility infrastructure varies widely and often depends on regional environmental factors. Wildfires in the West, hurricanes in the Southeast and extreme winter conditions in the Northeast and Midwest all present different challenges for power utilities," said Buzz Solutions CTO, COO and co-founder Vikhyat Chaudhry. "As a part of Esri's partner network, we can offer our clients an additional layer of geographic information that contextualizes grid anomalies and enables them to act faster to build a more resilient energy network."
