👩🔬 Innovation isn’t only about long-term R&D...
...it’s about solving real challenges that our teams face every day. As power grid asset management becomes more dynamic and under the pressure due to impact of renewables and aging assets, we need practical improvement already today:
🏅 The 2024 Innovation Sharing Challenge organized by Elia Asset department, brings practical solutions that make a difference as asset management becomes more dynamic under the pressure of the energy transition.
💡 From reusable safety flags that improve visibility during operations, to exoskeletons that reduce physical strain, and digital platforms that enhance testing processes for equipments as RTU's—these ideas are already transforming the daily work today, making tasks safer, faster, and more efficient.
👇 Check out the 14 innovative ideas from our colleagues and how they’re shaping the future of asset management and congratulations! David Zenner
