The mission of WiththegridWe’re a technology company specializing in monitoring grid infrastructure and providing secure control of energy assets. Our first product, the Asset Monitoring Platform, is designed to help companies digitalize and monitor their critical infrasture.

Question? Contact us. is to help digitalize infrastructure by providing the best possible solutions on the market. Recently, we have published a new Withthegrid case study related to our collaboration with Warmtebedrijf Rotterdam.rnrnAndrew Mol, Operations manager of Warmtebedrijf RotterdamWarmtebedrijf Rotterdam was established in 2006 by the City of Rotterdam. It utilizes residual heat from the Rotterdam harbor area to provide heating to housing projects and businesses., best described our collaboration: “District heating infrastructure is the most valuable physical asset of our company. Supported by several IoT sensor solutions and analytical software from Withthegrid we stay on top of infrastructure condition and immediately know when something is wrong”.

In fact, here is a a preview of the Withthegrid’s latest case study.

Challenge for Withthegrid

The challenge was to provide the Warmtebedrijf Rotterdam with real-time monitoring of their distribution grid in order to make maintenance processes more efficient and to get immediate failure notification when something is wrong.

Solution

The solutions we came up with are the following:

1. Asset monitoring application for district heating, including geographical representation and real-time notification messages for measurement values exceeding predefined thresholds.
2. Remote IoT sensors for monitoring cathodic protection, leak detection, and vacuum monitoring.
3. Automated connection between the new asset monitoring application and other asset management systems in use.

Advantages

1. Lower operational costs.
2. Reduction of asset risks and lifetime extension because failures are noted quickly and can be solved before harm is done to the infrastructure itself, to its customers, or to the city at large.
3. Easy to analyse historical data and to observe trends in asset performance.
4. Measurements are directly available for other systems, like work order planning or enterprise asset management systems.
