the heat and humidity of its electrical distribution assets . They wanted to use small wireless thermal sensor technology for sensing , coupled with the LORA wireless protocol for communication . Monitoring the heat signature of its critical assets is extremely important to Schneider not only to extend their lifetime but also from a safety standpoint . This was a very important program for Schneider – important enough that it could not wait for their typical three-year timelines to take an innovation from ideation to the field . Schneider teamed up with Accenture and together they developed and piloted their digital transformation program leveraging the DSF . By collecting data and applying AI and deep learning algorithms , Accenture helped to not only develop and industrialize the service offering but also an operating model to operate it at scale . The service offering helped to not only prevent critical asset failure but also prevent power grid downtime . The true value came when Schneider Electric realized its time horizons from ideation to field enablement were cut from its typical three-year timelines down to a whopping eight-month cycle . The true power of Industry X . 0 and DSF was realized .
