Sedaru Announces DROPPS™ Automation Levels For The Digital Utility

Distinctive approach enables, empowers, and automates the Digital Utility.

San Dimas, CA (PRWEB) - Sedaru has formalized its proven, strategic delivery model to automate the digital utility. Defined as DROPPS™, Sedaru introduces 6 levels of utility automation to enable Digital, Real-time, Optimized (DRO) work processes, including event and work order management, while applying integrated data sets for Predictive, Preemptive, and Self-driving (PPS) asset management and system operations.

Delivered in stages, DROPPS establishes a digital representation of the utility, incrementally expanding the digital footprint to deliver value and return-on-investment at each phase of the utility’s digital transformation. This unique delivery model ensures adoption of software and work processes, improved business and operating efficiency, and consistent buy-in from stakeholders across the organization.

Sedaru delivers critical asset management and operational analytics while integrating disparate information systems and sensor networks, empowering the enterprise with a shared user experience in 6 achievable steps for any utility to engage and grow with. Delivering purpose-built apps, Sedaru builds and leverages a common database to analyze data and deliver relevant, role-based insights and recommendations across the platform.

“Sedaru has served a pivotal role in advancing our water/wastewater business processes and system efficiencies, from establishing our GIS data sets, to integrating with our customer information systems, updating and analyzing our water model, and deploying an enterprise CMMS and asset management system that we utilize to drive our daily O&M. We’re consistently looking for ways to extend our digital platform with Sedaru, as it’s continued to benefit our organization and teams to do so,” said Lisa Ohlund, General Manager, East Orange County Water District.
