Automation handles the predictable. Utility operations rarely stay predictable
WHY THIS OPERATIONAL AUTOMATION CHALLENGE?
People are still the integration layer

Maintenance, incident management and engineering workflows often require employees to gather information, interpret it, move between systems and coordinate the next action manually. Traditional automation works well when workflows are predefined but becomes less effective when tasks change with context or depend on unstructured information.

主なメリット
Move beyond task automation to objective driven execution

AI Agents can take an objective, determine the required steps and coordinate authorized actions across systems reducing manual orchestration while preserving human oversight.

チェックアイコン
Turn objectives into coordinated action

Agents can reason through the steps required instead of relying only on rigid, predefined workflows.

チェックアイコン
Make systems work together, not around people

Reduce manual information transfer between applications, departments and operational teams.

チェックアイコン
Prepare action before experts step in

Gather asset history, procedures and resource information so specialists can focus on validation and judgment.

チェックアイコン
Scale expertise without scaling administration

Extend specialized operational knowledge across larger teams without increasing coordination workload at the same rate.

NTTデータのサポート体制は?

01
Design agents around real utility functions

Create specialized capabilities for maintenance, operations, engineering, assets, workforce and customer operations rather than generic AI assistance.

Utility operations specialist using AI-enabled grid intelligence to analyze network conditions, coordinate real utility functions and support faster, more informed operational decisions from a modern control environment.
02
Orchestrate knowledge and systems around an objective

Combine reasoning, enterprise knowledge, workflow orchestration and controlled system access to support multi step operational processes.

03
Move from information to prepared action

Enable agents to retrieve history, assess previous interventions, identify procedures, verify resources and prepare recommendations for human approval.

Utility operations specialist transforming AI-assisted grid intelligence into prepared operational action by reviewing asset data, network conditions and prioritized work information to support faster, more coordinated utility response.
04
Set autonomy according to operational risk

Apply permissions, APIs, workflow controls and approval gates so higher-risk actions remain subject to stronger safeguards and validation.

05
Keep control visible

We don’t treat autonomy as the goal. We design for traceable actions, approved data sources, cybersecurity controls and escalation to human experts.
