Network Design and Modelling

Reducing cost and improving efficiency through process innovation

As a knowledge enterprise, Enzen believes in using our expertise, insight and the latest automation technology to make existing systems perform better and smarter.

Through our Network Design and Modelling Centre of Excellence, we partner with utilities to increase their network performance, boost their revenue and control their costs. Our solutions can also help utilities optimise their spend on assets and plan better for network expansion.

All this can be invaluable to utilities which have to manage complex networks. Whether it’s evaluating the condition of assets, managing resources to improve productivity or monitoring assets remotely, Enzen’s knowledge practitioners use network automation to enhance utilities’ business performance with minimal spending on infrastructure.

Interactive, real-time solutions

From asset tracking to mobile-based solutions, we encompass the entire value chain, delivering interactive solutions that work on a real-time basis and result in greater efficiency and transparency. Examples include:

• Network and Asset Capture: This Android-based solution simplifies the complex manual task of creating single line diagrams of a network. User-friendly and dynamic, it enables utilities to edit the current network, update asset details and creates a digital repository which, when integrated with various software tools, facilitates superior analysis and evaluation.
• Automated Meter Reading: Understanding how high-value consumers use their energy is essential to any utility seeking to improve its customer satisfaction. Through our Automated Meter Reading solution, utilities can perform real-time audits of consumers’ energy usage, patterns and capabilities, so issues can be resolved preemptively.
• Remote Asset Monitoring and Control: This solution uses SCADA technology to monitor utility assets remotely in real-time. Through a network of intelligent devices and sensors, utilities can regulate asset performance more quickly, reliably and accurately. The result is safer operations, improved asset performance over the long-term and more sustainable networks.
• Aerial Asset Inspections: This solution deploys lightweight drones to inspect network assets and gather an all-inclusive view of their condition through quantitative and qualitative data. The outcome is safer, quicker and more efficient asset inspection, plus a centralised data resource that leads to better asset maintenance and less service disruptions.
