Those same reliability challenges are increasingly important to industrial customers and military installations where electrical failures can have significant operational consequences. Brad’s industry experience, technology background, relationships, and ability to build and lead a strong team will be instrumental as we expand Exacter’s work across these markets.”Electric utilities are entering a period of significant infrastructure investment driven by increasing electricity demand, data center development, aging grid assets, extreme weather, and growing expectations for reliability and resilience. At the same time, industrial facilities and Department of Defense installations are placing increased emphasis on the reliability and readiness of the electrical infrastructure supporting mission-critical operations.Exacter’s patented technology identifies RF emissions associated with deteriorating electrical equipment, enabling customers to locate developing conditions that may otherwise remain invisible during conventional inspections. The technology is deployed across overhead transmission and distribution systems and substations, providing actionable intelligence that helps prioritize maintenance and address high-risk equipment before failure.For utilities serving data centers and other mission-critical loads, identifying developing equipment problems can help prevent outages with significant operational and economic consequences. In wildfire-prone areas, Exacter technology can identify deteriorating electrical equipment and conditions associated with potential ignition risk before they become visible or produce a conventional heat signature. Exacter’s lightweight airborne sensors can also be deployed alongside LiDAR, infrared, videography, and other technologies during existing helicopter patrols.“The electric utility industry is entering one of the most consequential periods in its history,” said Johnson. “Utilities and other operators of critical electrical infrastructure are being asked to accommodate extraordinary growth while improving reliability, resilience, and safety. Exacter gives these organizations actionable information about developing equipment problems before they become failures. I am excited to join Exacter, build a strong team around this opportunity, and help our customers put that intelligence to work.”Prior to joining Exacter, Johnson led electric utility industry initiatives at Bentley Systems, including industry strategy and engagement with utility users, technology partners, government leaders, and policymakers. His experience ranges from early applications of LiDAR for utility vegetation management to advanced digital infrastructure, AI, and digital twin technologies. He has represented the industry at conferences, forums, and international events focused on grid modernization and the future of electric infrastructure.EXACTER®, Inc. is an Industrial IoT and predictive analytics company providing predictive electrical infrastructure intelligence to electric utilities, industrial customers, data centers, and U.S. Department of Defense installations. For 20 years, Exacter has helped customers identify hidden conditions associated with deteriorating electrical equipment before they result in outages, equipment failures, safety incidents, or fires.Using patented RF sensing technology, advanced analytics, and field-proven deployment methods, Exacter provides actionable intelligence across transmission, distribution, substations, and other critical electrical infrastructure.
