TRC and Greenbird partner to accelerate grid modernisation for utilities
TRC Companies (TRC) announced a go-to-market partnership with Greenbird Integration Technology, a leading integration technology provider based in Norway. Greenbird’s Utilihive platform enables utilities to accelerate their digital transformation and grid modernisation efforts. The partnership between the two innovative companies will reduce timelines for system integration and data-driven services for global utilities and energy providers.
Utilities often deal with disconnected, legacy IT and OT systems which lead to operational challenges from a lack of real-time data and optimised processes. Greenbird’s cloud-native big data integration platform, Utilihive, simplifies the integration of systems, applications, devices (smart meters, sensors IoT devices), data and clouds. The technology is purpose-built for multi-utilities of all sizes, using accelerators and out-of-the-box solutions to streamline integration projects with both new and legacy systems commonly used by the sector.
“North American utilities are rapidly evolving and investing to accelerate innovation and modernise the energy grid,” said Craig Cavanaugh, president of TRC’s Digital Solutions business. “The TRC-Greenbird partnership combines the deep industry and client knowledge of TRC’s technology experts with Greenbird’s leading-edge integration platform. This combination will bring a unified and localized experience to our utility clients, helping them simplify integration efforts and speed up time to value.”
“With the increased volume and variety of data available across the utility enterprise and at the grid edge, it is essential to have a modern approach to system architecture,” added Thorsten Heller, CEO at Greenbird Integration Technology. “Utilihive addresses this need, allowing for faster deployment and development of smart grid use cases. By joining forces with TRC’s digital experts, we can better help utilities improve their operations, reduce costs, optimise investment, meet regulatory requirements and transform at pace.”
