Power Technologies wins at Singapore Business Review Technology Excellence Awards 2026

AI-driven monitoring and sustainable IoT sensors enhance reliability and safety across critical energy infrastructure.

Power Technologies™ won Analytics - Utilities and IoT - Energy in the Singapore Business Review Technology Excellence Awards 2026 for its AI-driven Partial Discharge Monitoring Solutions and sustainable IoT sensor portfolio.

The company’s AI-driven Partial Discharge Monitoring Solutions provide continuous, real-time analytics on insulation health across switchgear, transformers, GIS/GIL systems, and power cables. By combining multi-parameter sensors with the VizionEye™ AI software, the system enables early fault detection, predictive maintenance, and enhanced reliability for critical utility infrastructure.

Unlike conventional monitoring systems that rely on single-channel detection, Power Technologies™ integrates UHF, HFCT, TEV, ultrasonic, vibration, infrared, DGA, and temperature sensors into a unified platform. The VizionEye™ AI Diagnostic Suite applies neural networks, fuzzy logic, genetic algorithms, and deep learning to distinguish genuine partial discharge signals from background noise. Key innovations include wireless, modular architecture supporting LoRa, Ethernet, 4G, and IEC 61850 protocols, GPS-synchronised fault location with ±2m accuracy, multi-transformer monitoring capability, and cloud-enabled analytics for seamless integration with SCADA, BMS, and enterprise platforms.

Pilot deployments demonstrated measurable impact, including over 95% accuracy in early fault detection and a 30-40% reduction in downtime incidents. Singapore Power, one of the early adopters, reported a 30% decrease in downtime and improved maintenance prioritisation through predictive dashboards integrated with SCADA systems. These results underscore the tangible benefits of AI-enabled monitoring in improving grid reliability, safety, and operational transparency.

Power Technologies™ also introduced a portfolio of IoT-enabled, energy-harvesting sensors, including products such as PTSPS084, PTSPS090, PTSPS120, and PTSPS075, designed to provide real-time monitoring of tilt, temperature, and mechanical performance. The sensors operate autonomously using solar or motion-based energy harvesting, eliminating battery dependency and reducing maintenance costs whilst delivering continuous monitoring in harsh environments.

The IoT solutions improved grid reliability, reduced structural hazards by 30-40%, decreased cable overheating faults by 25%, and lowered unplanned stoppages in conveyor systems by 20%. Clients praised the sensors for their ease of installation, robust protection, and reliable operation under extreme conditions.

Looking ahead, Power Technologies™ plans to scale deployments across Southeast Asia, integrate additional condition-based monitoring streams, and support smart grid initiatives. By combining AI analytics and sustainable IoT monitoring, the company provides actionable intelligence that enhances safety, reliability, and efficiency in the energy sector.
