Just think. What kind of "sparks" would fly off if electric network contacts with the Internet?
According to the data released by China Electricity Council, the investment to informatization of electricity increased by 20% in China, which will reach 80.4 billion RMB by 2018.
Smart energy transition, a part of China's 13th Five-year Plan, is in its critical time. Many power companies depended on advanced technology, like big data, to accomplish their transition. They successfully cut down their cost and boost their profits and increase their competitiveness.
The Demand of Efficiency Led to the High Efficient Collaborative Platform
Informatization of electricity development brought power companies some questions. How do the digital methods serve intensive management? How to maximize the value of operational resources and profits?
Most of China's electricity networks are built by local related departments. The daily operation involves data transmission, remote conferences and cross-region collaboration. A single and decentralized conference system or IT system is easily to become an isolated information island, which is hard to meet the power companies demand of high-speed information transmission and flexible collaboration.
Power companies are in an urgent need for a collaborative platform where isolated stations are connected and they can communicate with each other. MAXHUB provides power companies a good option.
An Integrated Digital Conference Platform Helped Decrease Cost and Increase Profits
Several state-owned power companies, such as China Nuclear Power Engineering, State Power Investment Corporation Limited (SPIC) and State Grid, have introduced highly integrated digital conference platforms long ago.
Informatization of conference fundamentally is making the communication information be digital. The informatization can improve working efficiency of staff. It also can enhance the collaborative ability of companies. MAXHUB is a highly integrated platform that creates the conditions for electric industry to practice new management methods.
MAXHUB can realize a centralized control through LAN, such as sending digital files or policies from the government or headquarter, which only needs a few seconds.
MAXHUB supports remote video conference. Power companies will not be limited by time and space. The efficiency of collaborative working between different branches also can be improved. MAXHUB will save the cost of communication and create more value.
The critical period of smart energy transition is also a good chance for power companies to upgrade themselves. In order to push for the informatizition reform and help more and more power companies accomplish digital upgrading, MAXHUB organized free try-outs. It hopes China's power companies will successfully accomplish the informatizition upgrading and enhance their competitiveness.
