Itron, Gordion collaborate for AI-powered intelligence in grid edge

Itron (ITRI) is working with Gordian Technologies to bring artificial intelligence and machine learning to the grid edge. Itron is enhancing its Grid Edge Intelligence portfolio with Gordian’s AI and ML technology and enabling its developer community to access that technology through Itron’s Distributed Intelligence Developer Program. This enhancement to Itron’s GEI portfolio further enables utilities to improve grid resilience, disaster management and prevention, operational efficiency and to deliver affordable energy to customers. Itron’s GEI portfolio features an end-to-end suite of solutions that unlock the power of data within a utility’s service territory. Gordian’s optimized software delivers ML and AI capabilities at the edge-device level and supports running inference on multiple models in parallel to maximize the benefits that can be realized. Together, the Gordian and Itron platforms can detect, analyze and classify millions of data events within milliseconds. For the utility, this unlocks even greater value from their smart infrastructure investments, lowering operational costs and improving their service. The Gordian platform will be available later this year through Itron’s DI Developer program, allowing app developers to access this high-powered tool to deliver added value solutions for utility customers and to further enhance Itron’s GEI portfolio.
