GE Orchestrate—"Making Grid Data Genuinely Useful: From Silos to Decisions"
Tuesday, June 9th | 2:00-3:30pm
Wednesday, June 10th | 8:00-9:30am
Join Mike Ruth, Director of Grid Management at Itron, as he presents at GE Orchestrate during the customer session titled "Making Grid Data Genuinely Useful: From Silos to Decisions."
Description:
Grid data is vast, distributed, and often trapped in silos—limiting its operational value. Utilities need data that flows across IT/OT boundaries, supports AI and analytics, enables real-time decisions, and powers orchestration across planning, operations, markets, and the edge. This huddle addresses the practical challenge of making grid data actually useful: breaking down silos, governing data quality, building AI-ready infrastructure, integrating diverse sources, and creating unified operational views. Discuss data fabric strategies, federation vs. centralization tradeoffs, data governance frameworks that work, and how to turn fragmented data into actionable intelligence. Share lessons from utilities who've moved from custom point-to-point integrations to scalable data platforms that enable orchestration.
