Future Capabilities
- Help evaluate the integration of new data types, such as drone imagery reports and inspection reports, into the model
- Design evaluation approaches for expanded LLM-based use cases
Collaboration & Communication
- Work closely with the internal data science lead and the software/data engineer

Cloud-based asset performance management for renewables
Power Factors provides a cloud-based SaaS platform for the renewable energy sector that helps asset owners, operators, and independent power producers optimize large portfolios of wind, solar, and energy storage assets. Its Unity energy management suite unifies monitoring, analytics, field service management, and commercial asset management into one platform that collects data from many sources to support remote asset management. The platform uses SCADA data, AI-based predictive analytics, and automated workflows built on OSIsoft PI and Microsoft Azure to improve revenue and reduce manual tasks. It differentiates itself by merging multiple capabilities from a series of acquisitions into a single integrated system at scale, and its goal is to maximize financial and physical performance while expanding global adoption.
