Acea for World Energy Saving Day
Acea promotes innovation in artificial intelligence and robotics through initiatives that directly involve the Group’s people in the digital transformation of business processes. The Group is already applying robotics and AI solutions in various operational projects, from the management of water networks to plant maintenance.
Strategic initiatives where robotics and artificial intelligence are transforming infrastructure management and operational efficiency across the entire area served by the Group.
TEDDI is an autonomous quadruped robot used for preventive monitoring in primary substations. The solution reduces personnel exposure to critical environments, increases the frequency and quality of inspections, and enables predictive analysis through the structured collection of field data. In this way, it helps improve the safety, operational efficiency, and reliability of the power grid.
Smart Asset Inventory speeds up and automates the cataloguing of assets in primary and secondary substations. The application geolocates sites, captures data through its camera, and analyses them with artificial intelligence, improving the efficiency, accuracy, and reliability of asset management.
The ADMS platform (Advanced Distribution Management System) by Areti, also known as Dante, revolutionises the management of the power distribution grid. Thanks to advanced simulation models and artificial intelligence algorithms, the system monitors the grid in real time, detects anomalies, supports rapid decision-making, and reduces operators’ exposure to risks. As a result, the grid becomes more efficient, reliable, and safe.
Thanks to predictive models that analyse data through artificial intelligence algorithms, it is possible to anticipate malfunctions, optimise intervention planning, and reduce water and power interruptions. This improves the quality, safety, and efficiency of the service, transforming network management into a more reliable and modern process.
Robotics for Water introduces robotic solutions in the water sector, improving safety, sustainability, and efficiency. From the innovations of the most promising start-ups to the most advanced solutions on the market, robots make it possible to inspect, monitor, and intervene on infrastructure without exposing personnel to risks, thus representing a competitive advantage for the company.
Two key milestones consolidate Acea’s pioneering role in technological innovation: the creation of the Robotic Joint Lab with the Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia and the event “I AM – Tu all’ennesima potenza”, organised with leading companies in artificial intelligence. These initiatives were carried out with the support of a.Quantum, a Group company dedicated to developing innovative solutions for the non-regulated market.
The agreement signed by a.Quantum and the Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia established the creation of Italy’s first joint lab dedicated to developing advanced robotic solutions for the management and maintenance of industrial infrastructure in the water, energy, and environmental sectors.
A project that brings together two centres of excellence: Acea’s industrial expertise in infrastructure management and IIT’s technological expertise in advanced robotics. The laboratory represents an innovative model of collaboration between research and industry, where experimentation meets practical application. Through spaces dedicated to co-design and testing, the Joint Lab will develop robotic solutions to enhance the efficiency, safety, and sustainability of water and energy networks, testing tomorrow’s technologies directly on Acea’s facilities.
A two-day event with leading national and international technology players to explore the most innovative AI applications in the water, energy, and environmental sectors.
An event that transformed Acea’s headquarters into an innovation hub, where major tech companies such as Google, IBM, and Microsoft, along with leaders in digital consulting, shared their visions and concrete solutions. In addition to demo rooms featuring cutting-edge technologies, the initiative offered moments of strategic reflection on the future of work and the social impact of AI. A unique opportunity to explore how artificial intelligence is already redefining business management and to imagine the future scenarios of smart infrastructure.
LIA, the Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, is a concrete example of this commitment: 250 people from across Acea, representing various Group companies, voluntarily came forward to work on predictive and classification models, text generation to optimise business processes, comprehension and evaluation through generative AI, and conversational systems to improve customer experience. A community that turns artificial intelligence into tangible progress for the company, the services offered, and the citizens.
