Company Milestones
2024
Partnered with Aclara to embed Karman into smart meters and announced our collaboration with Deloitte
We partnered with Aclara, a division of utility and electrical solutions provider Hubbell Incorporated, to embed Karman into a smart meter to make deploying AI into grid devices easier.
We also announced our collaboration with Deloitte and NVIDIA to continue to make it easier for utilities to deploy AI securely.
2023
Developed our custom NVIDIA module and opened our innovation lab in Ann Arbor, MI
We announced the development of our custom NVIDIA module to make it easy and affordable to embed AI into existing hardware—starting with electric meters.
In Michigan, we innovate at the intersection of the electric transportation, manufacturing, and clean energy industries, with a manufacturing partnership with Brooks Utility Partners and a research project with the University of Michigan Transportation Research Institute.
2022
Deployed first smart grid chips in Lake Placid, New York
Our first-generation meter adapters were installed in Lake Placid, New York to help the municipal utility gain new visibility into their system. We also established our grid edge advisory board with executives from utility companies and leaders in clean energy and electric transportation.
2021
Partnered with NVIDIA to develop a software-defined smart grid chip
We found that existing technology and business models were insufficient to fully capture the value of the grid-edge, so we partnered with NVIDIA - the world leader in accelerated computing and AI - to build our own software-defined grid-edge solution.
2019
Developed first applications for new meter company software platforms
We were among the first companies to develop software applications for smart meter platforms, offering our voltage optimization as an on-meter solution.
2018
Integrated smart meter data to drive additional value from voltage optimization
We realized there was significantly untapped potential at the edge of the grid and began using day-old smart meter data to deliver additional energy savings. The 4% energy savings we achieved using smart meter data was roughly double even the most aggressive annual state energy efficiency mandates across the U.S.
2015
Real-time optimization software deployed at scale with American Electric Power and National Grid
We doubled the performance of other optimization solutions and delivered our customers, on average, 3 percent energy savings, 4 percent demand reduction, 25 percent improvement in asset health, and 50 percent increase in solar hosting capacity.
2012
Founded
Utilidata was one of the first technology companies to use real-time machine learning for grid operations. Our patented real-time voltage optimization software optimized assets across the distribution grid to deliver superior energy savings.
