Our approach is to partner with our utility customers to achieve their goals. Our goal is to demonstrate how Neara’s technology can help them digitally transform without disruption.
Improved visibility of known risks (e.g. assets in high wildfire risk zones) and identifying unknown risks (e.g. what weather conditions would create a high risk of cascading structural failures), enables utilities to appropriately understand, simulate and mitigate against those risks.
Neara enables a utility to rapidly assess which areas of their network and network assets are damaged from floods, severe storms, or other natural disaster event; and quickly develop a plan to remediate damaged assets - which enables faster restoration of power to communities.
Neara provides an accurate and dynamic visual representation of a utility’s network, inclusive of asset condition, location, and investment commitments, all within a single unified platform.
Rapid network risk identification~10x faster risk identification (e.g. conductor clashing) for entire network
More cost effective risk identification~5x reduced spend on risk identification compared to manual inspection methods
Efficient LiDAR verification and auditing~48h from time of ingestion into Neara platform to verify coverage and if captured LiDAR is fit-for-purpose
Increased design efficiency and collaboration~85% time saved when creating & modifying network design on Neara
More efficient line rating studies~4x faster line rating studies compared to alternate methods using other software
Automated LiDAR classification at-scale~30x faster LiDAR classification at-scale compared to traditional methods, with up to 99% accuracy
Optimize OPEX spend on physical asset inspections~$5M annual savings from substituting physical inspections with analysis on Neara’s platform
Optimize asset REPEX deferrals~30k pole replacements deferred without compromising network integrity
More efficient pole analysis and inspections~2x faster pole analysis and inspections compared to alternate methods using other software

Read just some of the most recent customer successes using Neara’s platform and modules.
Neara sets a new benchmark, not just for our business, but for the entire utilities industry. The degree of analysis their platform enables and the insight that can be extracted, especially when applied at a whole of network scale, is quite amazing.

Having Neara, who are subject matter experts, perform the analysis and assessment for us saves a lot of time and money. Previously, the LiDAR data was analyzed and reported by a third party which lacked maturity and experience.

Neara was instrumental in Endeavour Energy’s flood response, enabling faster and safer restoration of electricity to our customers in affected areas. Endeavour had been working with Neara on an entirely unrelated project, and within 48 hours they were able to leverage the platform to solve this completely new challenge.

When I used 2D programs, it was always a very manual task to calculate and it turned into a nightmare…We’d go back and forth for days, sometimes weeks. With Neara, my designs take less time. There’s less frustration and fewer headaches so I can concentrate on what I should be doing - the design.

I’ve been beside work colleagues who use other software and this reminds me how powerful and more efficient Neara is. It is easy to learn and use with excellent results, presentation instantly available.

Neara’s digital twin system is an excellent example of bringing digital transformation into the physical world.
