Neara is a physics-enabled digital twin that eclipses traditional visualization capabilities to deliver a geometrically accurate 3D spatial model of entire infrastructure networks. The model applies detailed individual asset-level analysis to entire integrated infrastructure, providing a context-rich representation of how assets actually behave and react in the physical world in any scenario. Neara connects the granular perspective engineers need to maintain a safe and structurally sound grid system with the network-wide view business leaders need to improve outcomes with effective network investments via high-velocity, automated analysis. With Neara, asset owners upgrade daily reality from reacting to dozens of problems in a context vacuum to proactively identifying exactly where and how to allocate capital for maximum community benefit through an integrated lens. Neara has modeled more than 2 million miles of infrastructure across four continents, enabling customers to save millions each year while improving resiliency and reliability, and transforming processes that once took years into outcomes delivered in hours.

Using a combination of data sources, including LiDAR, Neara generates a physics-enabled digital twin of entire transmission and distribution systems that utilities use to simulate every scenario they need to be prepared for, from flash floods to high winds and load growth. Once utilities identify their vulnerabilities through simulation analyses, the physics twin serves as a canvas to test-drive remediation solutions, allowing them to determine the best path forward before committing funds or breaking ground in the field.
- Bring 2x more clean energy online without waiting for new infrastructure: Neara pinpoints hyper-targeted network configuration tweaks, from installing taller poles to reconductoring, that would allow networks to free up more capacity for clean energy using existing assets.
- Remove outage risks 9x faster: Simulation analyses reveal vulnerabilities such as which poles won't make it through >100 mph winds, where flood waters will come too close to equipment and where vegetation presents wire-down or wildfire risk.
- Restore power 3x faster following severe weather: See exactly where it's safe to restore power when it's not safe to send teams into the field to assess damage.
- Get new transmission design approved 85% faster: Surface key blockers early in the transmission process so you can navigate them more easily and get your plan approved faster.
- Validate investment decisions and secure resources: Need to validate your vegetation budget number? Or demonstrate which poles need replacement? Objectively define needs with demonstrable data regulators and other stakeholders will understand.
