Smart Transformer IoT & AI monitoring
The situation

Power and distribution transformers often provide little operating data between inspections and a visible fault. That limits the OEM's ability to offer condition-based service, monitoring subscriptions, or warranty intelligence.

The hard part

Design a white-label monitoring offer that covers sensing, edge communications, the asset data model, and analytics while remaining operable by the transformer OEM.

What we built on InfiIoT

The solution, layer by layer.

Reference sensing-to-AI architecture

A four-layer blueprint covers sensing, edge communications, the data layer, and analytics as one OEM product line.

DGA & Duval fault analysis

Dissolved-gas analysis with Duval-method classification, aligned to IS, IEC and IEEE standards, flags incipient faults before they cascade.

Condition-based & predictive maintenance

Maintenance decisions use transformer condition and trend rather than relying only on a fixed interval.

Three OEM revenue models

The architecture supports premium connected hardware, monitoring subscriptions, and predictive AMC or warranty services around the existing product line.

Have a problem shaped like this one?

Bring the asset, its current data path, and the decision that is still being made manually. We will map the first useful scope.

Connected-product assessment

Bring one product. Leave with a clear next step.

Use 30 minutes to test the fit around one product and one blocked decision. If there is a fit, we will outline the two-week Product Blueprint.
