Adani Electricity has taken a major step toward enhancing power reliability by equipping its frontline teams — “Power Warriors”— with advanced mobile infrared (IR) imaging tools.
These compact, smartphone-enabled devices are transforming how power infrastructure is monitored and maintained across the city.
Mumbai’s fast-paced redevelopment and climate shifts place growing pressure on power assets like transformers, switchgear, and distribution panels. To stay ahead of potential faults, Adani Electricity has rolled out mobile thermal imaging devices that allow on-the-spot detection of equipment stress or overheating—often before any outward sign of failure appears.
Adani Elecricity’s field teams can now identify and address developing issues during their first site visit—preventing power interruptions before they happen.
- This innovation has the following benefits:
- Teams can detect and act on faults instantly—no need for return visits or delays
- Potential failures are caught early, ensuring power remains stable even during peak loads
- Consumers experience fewer unplanned outages and faster resolution of service issues
- Field decisions are data-driven, visual, and shared in real-time across teams
Towards predictive maintenance
According to an Adani Electricity spokesperson, “This shift marks a transition from reactive maintenance to a predictive model. The new IR tools are being fully integrated into Adani Electricity’s digital operations platform. Soon, every thermal image captured in the field will trigger intelligent workflows, using AI and machine learning to flag issues, allocate resources, and track trends across the grid. This creates a virtuous loop—smarter diagnostics, faster interventions, and stronger system resilience.”
