Industries — Energy & utilities
Networks, consumption and assets into a consistent history.
In energy, a value is never final: it's read, estimated, then corrected. A useful data foundation keeps these versions instead of overwriting them.
The situation
Retroactive correction is the rule, not the exception
Counting series, asset registries, delivery points, field interventions: data keeps coming in continuously, and a significant share of it is revised afterward.
If a corrected value overwrites the published value, the gap between two reported states becomes impossible to explain. If replacing a piece of equipment erases the old one, analyzing a past period loses its context.
beVault keeps both values and their dates, along with the successive states of assets and scopes.
What historization enables
Six concrete use cases
- 01
Preserve the successive states of assets
Replaced equipment, modified delivery points, redrawn boundaries: every state remains queryable at its date.
- 02
Track corrections
A revised value is added alongside the previous one instead of overwriting it, with a timestamp for the revision.
- 03
Reconcile consumption series
Series from different metering systems are linked to the same delivery points.
- 04
Maintaining historical context
An analysis of a past period relies on the network as it was configured at that time.
- 05
Document the transformations
Applied rules are versioned with the model, and their lineage is derived from it.
- 06
Compare over time
Period-to-period comparisons account for changes in scope and subsequent corrections.
What you get
Operational reports and submitted reports start from the same dated facts, and any gap between two publications can be explained.
