IND_12Effective and affordable quality control solution for energy transportation systems
Industry 4.0
PROBLEM IN ONE SENTENCE:
There is no effective and affordable quality control solution for energy transportation systems.
HOW BIG IS THE PROBLEM:What is the impact on your business (money, time, people)? What would you lose if it wasn’t solved / gain if it were solved?
Oil and gas pipelines and energy networks are at the constant risk of failure and failure costs are very high measured in tens of billions USD.
WHOSE PROBLEM IS IT:
As energy is a very important part of paper production cost and CO2 emitted has a wide impact, it is an industrywide problem. Xprize challenge, Getka Energey, British Petreuleum and more.
POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS:
Use space imagery to predict disasters, use machine learning algorithms to improve quality of energy grids.
POSSIBLE LIMITATIONS:
A lot of research has been done (by universities, big corporations ect) without a considerable improvement.
