Daniel Dickman joins AiDash as Director for the region, underscoring the company’s commitment to combating bushfires and flooding
SYDNEY & PALO ALTO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--#AI--AiDash, an enterprise SaaS company making critical infrastructure industries climate-resilient and sustainable with satellites and AI, today announced that it is doubling down on its investment in Australia and New Zealand. The company has hired Daniel Dickman as an on-the-ground Director and plans several dedicated support team members to be based in the local region. Dickman’s presence comes amid several successful pilots, as leading utility companies embrace AiDash’s Intelligent Vegetation Management System™ (IVMS™) and Climate Risk Intelligence System™ (CRIS™) to mitigate the damage caused by bushfires.
AiDash has established a strong foothold in the region, helping to support grid resiliency, as the countries have experienced a sharp uptick in climate-related weather events. For example, around 84 million hectares burned in northern Australia last year, while New Zealand’s power grid experienced the worst damage in its history with Cyclone Gabrielle in February of 2023.
“Utilities in the region have recognized that existing practices are no longer sustainable due to the unprecedented challenges posed by climate change. They are turning to AiDash for satellite and AI technology to enhance reliability, boost operational efficiency, minimize damage to critical infrastructure, and save people’s lives,” said Abhishek Vinod Singh, CEO and Co-founder of AiDash. “The enthusiasm and commitment to leverage our satellite-first products from organizations across Australia and New Zealand has been tremendous. This is why we want a strong presence within the region, and Daniel is the right person to lead.”
Dickman brings significant experience to AiDash, helping utilities in the region streamline performance in grid design while reducing construction costs and enhancing operational outcomes. He most recently led customer relations at Neara, where he delivered a world’s-first digital twin of a large network solely focused on the mechanical loading on the infrastructure. This project has revolutionized the way utilities in the area deliver and prioritize maintenance.
Dickman’s work with Neara began when he acted as SaaS consultant to the company as part of Helix Collective, a boutique high-performance software consultancy. He played a vital role in bringing Neara to market.
“Satellites coupled with AI are game-changers for utilities,” said Dickman. “AiDash is a true leader that can capitalize on the opportunity ahead, using technology to adapt and improve resiliency. I can’t wait to get started as we set a new standard in utility management, ensuring a sustainable and reliable energy future for New Zealand and Australia.”
With the AiDash platform, organizations can make transformative, future-proof changes, including:
- Leveraging AI models that will learn the vegetation on their system and create plans that maximize reliability-impact per dollar spent multiple years into the future to ensure that utilities get the most out of their resources.
- Surveying distribution lines remotely and at scale via satellites – which is far more cost effective than the LiDAR and manual inspection commonly used today.
- Detecting and managing tree hazards in real time through the combination of satellite data and AI insights to address vegetation issues in a more efficient and comprehensive manner.
- Enabling data-driven bushfire management mitigation strategies as an end-to-end solution.
- Digitizing and automating the planning and work execution process through a “single source of truth” available on both desktops and a mobile application.
