What If Your Electrical Assets Could Predict Failure Before It Happens?
In this technical interview, Eric Thompson, Global Director of IoT and AI Solutions at IRISS, explains how the E-Sentry condition monitoring platform and IRISS smart windows are transforming electrical asset reliability across data centers, industrial facilities, and utilities.
Key topics covered:
- The gap between periodic inspections and real-time asset risk — and how E-Sentry fills it
- How IRISS smart windows embed sensor technology for 24/7 condition monitoring (humidity, temperature, vibration, partial discharge)
- E-Sentry for data centers: critical power monitoring as AI-driven power density increases
- Extending the life cycle of aging industrial assets through IoT-connected predictive maintenance
- The five ROI pillars of electrical safety and reliability — including NFPA 70B compliance, safer work practices, and smarter maintenance prioritization
- How IRISS’s EVA AI assistant automates work orders and enables true predictive maintenance
- What’s next: cooling optimization, energy management, and agentic AI for maintenance teams
Whether you’re a maintenance manager, reliability engineer, or asset owner in utilities, industrials, or data centers — this conversation shows how condition-based monitoring and AI are helping teams become leaner, safer, and more effective.
