Touchless™ Monitoring for Electric Utilities Across the Globe

Electric utilities operate some of the most complex and high-stakes infrastructure on the planet. Substations run around the clock, assets are often decades old, and the cost of an unplanned outage, in downtime, repairs, and public impact, can be high.

Systems With Intelligence’s Touchless™ monitoring technology gives utility operators continuous, real-time visibility into the health of their critical assets, detecting early warning signs of developing faults before they escalate into major failures.

Our technology is purpose-built for the electric power environment. Every product is IEC 61850-3 and IEEE 1613 rated, engineered to operate reliably in the harsh electrical conditions of utility substations, and designed to integrate directly with the SCADA, APM, and asset management systems your team already depends on.

What SWI Delivers for Electric Utilities

Continuous, automated monitoring built for the realities of substation operations.

Early Fault Detection

Thermal sensors detect heat anomalies in transformers, circuit breakers, busbars, bushings, and other critical assets before they lead to failure, giving operators time to act.

Continuous Visual Monitoring

High-performance cameras provide 24/7 visual oversight of substation sites, confirming conditions remotely and reducing the need to send personnel into hazardous environments.

SCADA & APM Integration

SWI’s monitoring systems connect directly to your existing SCADA, APM, and asset management platforms using industry-standard protocols, so alarms and asset health data flow straight into the tools your team already uses.

Condition-Based Maintenance Support

Move away from fixed-schedule inspections and toward a smarter, data-driven maintenance approach. SWI’s continuous monitoring gives your team the asset health data needed to prioritize maintenance where and when it’s actually needed.

What's Really at Stake

The Hidden Cost of Reactive Maintenance

Most asset failures don’t happen without warning; instead, they build over time. A connection made improperly during installation may take years to worsen. Insulation degrades gradually. Animals get into substations and cause damage that can be instantaneous. Without continuous monitoring in place, these developing faults go unseen until they cause an outage, arc flash event, or equipment failure.

SWI’s Touchless™ monitoring technology watches your assets around the clock, detecting the thermal and visual changes that signal a problem is developing. When an alert is triggered, your team is notified immediately by email, through your SCADA system, or via your APM platform, so the right people know what’s happening and can respond before it becomes a crisis.

What Utility Operators Can Monitor With SWI

Our thermal and visual monitoring technology covers the full range of critical substation assets, giving operators a comprehensive view of site health in real time.

Thermal monitoring detects hotspots on transformer bodies, bushings, and connections – assets that are expensive to replace and critical to grid reliability.

Continuous thermal oversight of switching equipment identifies developing issues in high-wear components that are often difficult and dangerous to inspect manually.

Infrared sensors monitor electrical connections and metering equipment, flagging temperature anomalies that indicate resistance, overload, or failing insulation.
