Itron is set to revolutionize the electric utility industry by integrating Microsoft Azure OpenAI into its Outcomes suite of products. This groundbreaking move will allow users, particularly electric utilities, to seamlessly access data using natural language commands, enhancing the overall intuitiveness of processes.
The integration of OpenAI into Itron’s IEE Meter Data Management system and UtilityIQ software suite is expected to roll out in the second quarter of 2024. This will be available on Microsoft Commercial Marketplace, offering a user-friendly interface for utility customers to access data efficiently.
Through Itron’s DataHub platform, electric utility users will be able to access a wide range of data, including structured and unstructured information from Itron’s portfolio. This comprehensive approach will enable utility departments to explore and subscribe to diverse datasets securely and conveniently.
With the incorporation of OpenAI, electric utility users can benefit from advanced AI analytics spanning from DER data to transformer and feeder loading data. This cutting-edge technology will empower users to make informed decisions based on data-driven insights, ultimately optimizing the utility operations and enhancing overall performance.
