Actionable analytics and dashboards to optimize asset health, streamline maintenance, and ensure data-driven grid resilience
Cascade Intelligence is software for electric utilities that transforms asset and maintenance data into actionable intelligence to optimize asset health, streamline operations, ensure regulatory compliance, and support data-driven decision-making.
The software empowers your team to answer these critical questions:
How many high-risk assets exist, and where are they located?
What is the status of maintenance orders? How many are overdue?
Where is my largest maintenance cost by equipment category, type, manufacturer and model?
What is the total amount of forecasted work by year?
Backed by DNV's technical expertise, Cascade Intelligence provides the clarity modern electric utilities need for confident decision-making, risk assessments, compliance, and maintenance optimization.
