AI Contributes to Safety and Accelerates Decision-Making for Better Performance of Operations
São Paulo, May 2021 – Avantia, one of the leading companies in security technology in Brazil, explains how artificial intelligence solutions in video monitoring can benefit the Brazilian electric sector, contributing to the operations of generation and distribution of energy, whether from hydropower, wind, or photovoltaic sources.

Intelligent video monitoring provides safety for managing equipment, processes, regulations, the movement of people, and situations involving property and personal security. Developed with artificial intelligence, video analytics applied in electronic security systems also contribute to the improved performance of companies in the electric sector. It is a technology that acts both in preventing incidents and in swiftly responding to emergencies and nonconformities.
According to Mário Tranche, a solutions engineering professional at Avantia, an integrated system that analyzes data captured in images can predict, monitor and address a series of actions, such as preventing perimeter breaches, controlling the entry of authorized individuals into these spaces, and verifying the proper use of PPE, helping to prevent accidents. All this is done automatically, without the need for active human operation. “In many areas of energy generation and transmission, the environment is inhospitable and poses risks to human life, in addition to difficult access for maintenance teams. Monitoring through video allows for real-time action in these areas, helping to mitigate risks, and responds to an emergency much more quickly and effectively,” he says.

Tranche mentions that a smart video monitoring system in energy companies can also monitor operational maneuvers, such as controlling the operation of disconnect switches in real-time, anticipating a potential accident or failure without the need to send a team to the location, thus speeding up decision-making and responses to potential emergencies and actions that resolve issues, in addition to reducing operational costs. “With an integrated system, we can check in advance or even simultaneously if there is a possible overheating that could cause a failure and compromise the generation, transmission, or distribution of energy,” he adds.
The specialist also informs that through the analytics offered by the intelligent system, a control operator can focus on real situations of danger or attention, contributing to time management and indirectly to the performance of the institutional operation: “With Avantia technology, which uses artificial intelligence to read and classify images, it is possible to avoid wasting time responding to a false occurrence,” he details.
Regarding the system, in managing the entry of people at remote sites, unauthorized vehicle approach, monitoring disconnect switches, and aiding in emergency response, it contributes to property security and, in a certain way, to operations, even impacting the efficiency and performance of the services provided, as well as complying with the standards and requirements of the ONS (National Electric System Operator).
