Efficient vegetation management is critical to delivering safe, reliable service to utility customers in wildfire-prone areas.  Digitization of the planning, scheduling and auditing of the vegetation management process, can help utilities reduce risk and improve operations.  Current and future opportunities to improve workflows, streamline processes and improve situational awareness will be driven through the adoption of new technologies and refinement of existing ones.  PG&E and Infosys will discuss how immediate needs were met through a partnership with Salesforce and Locana as well as the vast potential that Computer Vision, AI and ML holds for the future.
