Yukon Visual T&D is a smart monitoring and control alternative to traditional SCADA. Many utility customers want the benefits of a SCADA system, but do not have the resources to implement a complicated project or to staff a 24x7 control room. Visual T&D provides a scalable, pre-configured, easy-to-use alternative.
Visual T&D is an application that continuously monitors substation and distribution equipment operation and performance. It provides all of the information regularly provided by traditional SCADA systems in a way that is less complex and simpler to implement and use. The system collects a long-term, detailed operational history that allows utilities to understand their system operation and to plan maintenance and capital expenditure programs more efficiently.
