WD News: Capula has launched a new consultancy service to accelerate the digitalisation and decarbonisation of the water industry.
The wrap-around proposition brings together business, digital and technical expertise to support the digital transformation of the sector and to grasp the opportunities of connected technologies, data and the cloud.
The consultancy service will be led by Neil White, an experienced software engineer, business manager and 20-year veteran at Capula with extensive experience working across energy sectors. He will be supported by a team of digitalisation specialists backed up by more than 320 automation control and IT engineers.
As a specialist in operational technology (OT) and the convergence of OT with IT, Capula’s service is designed to fast-track the planning, delivery and operation of OT and OT/IT programmes to be high-value, low-risk, outcome-focused, data-driven and scalable solutions.
Capula has adapted and applied proven IT methodologies to OT change programmes to design its unique Pentagon Approach, a five-step process to ensure the right first-time delivery of solutions which support business strategy and digital transformation.
Adopting current and emerging technologies like Industrial Internet-of-Things (IIoT) Machine Learning (ML) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) will give clients access to vast amounts of valuable industrial data for increasing efficiencies across power and energy plants and networks.
Commenting on the launch of the new service, Simon Coombs, Managing Director of Capula, said, “We are building technology bridges between technology, data, people and processes to make digital happen, helping industry embrace interconnectivity to make the most of the Fourth Industrial Revolution and prepare for the Fifth.”
Existing and emerging technologies can improve the flexibility of the UK energy system, help support the development of innovative products and services for consumers and play a leading role in helping the UK achieve Net Zero emissions targets.
