Predictive Intelligence for Critical Infrastructure
AFL and VIE Technologies have partnered to deliver intelligent infrastructure monitoring solutions that empower utilities and data centers to proactively manage high-value, mission-critical assets. This collaboration combines AFL’s deep expertise in fiber optic connectivity with VIE Technologies’ non-invasive, AI-powered predictive monitoring platform—enabling smarter, more resilient operations.
As the demand for infrastructure reliability intensifies, our joint solution helps operators reduce unplanned outages, extend asset life, and minimize total cost of ownership. VIE Technologies’ analytics platform leverages continuous sensing and machine learning to predict failures in power transformers, pumps, chillers, and other mechanical equipment weeks—or even months—in advance.
By integrating real-time insights with AFL’s broadband, energy, and data center portfolios, we offer a complete infrastructure solution that enhances both operational efficiency and long-term performance. Whether modernizing the grid or optimizing data center uptime, AFL and VIE Technologies deliver the intelligence and connectivity needed to meet today’s challenges and tomorrow’s demands.

How It Works: Non-Invasive, AI-Powered Monitoring
VIE Technologies’ platform is built on a foundation of advanced IoT sensors and machine learning. These smart sensors continuously monitor critical parameters—such as temperature, vibration, and electrical stress—on power transformers and other mechanical systems. The data is transmitted securely via LTE, satellite, or Bluetooth to a cloud-based analytics engine that detects subtle anomalies and predicts failures before they occur.
This non-invasive approach eliminates the need for intrusive installations or equipment downtime. With a 10+ year battery life and ruggedized design, the sensors are engineered to perform reliably in harsh environments, making them ideal for both utility and data center applications.
Smarter Maintenance, Greater Efficiency
Traditional time-based maintenance often leads to unnecessary service or missed warning signs. VIE Technologies replaces this guesswork with real-time intelligence, enabling condition-based maintenance that reduces operational costs and extends asset lifespan.
By shifting from reactive to proactive maintenance, operators can:
- Reduce unplanned outages and emergency repairs
- Optimize maintenance schedules based on actual equipment condition
- Optimize maintenance schedules based on actual equipment condition
- Scale infrastructure with confidence through predictive capacity planning
This data-driven approach not only enhances reliability but also supports sustainability goals by minimizing energy loss and maximizing asset utilization.
