Innovation and energy: How technology is transforming the energy sector
The energy sector faces increasingly complex global challenges: the transition towards cleaner sources, emissions reduction, resource optimisation, and the maintenance of critical infrastructure. Tackling these demands scalable, integrable technological solutions capable of delivering measurable benefits.
Scalability and sustainability: innovation that lasts
Innovation is not only about creating new solutions; it is about ensuring they endure over time, can scale across different facilities, and be shared to maximise their impact. According to the IEA, the digitalisation of energy infrastructure could reduce operation and maintenance costs by up to 20% by 2030.

Smart monitoring: robotics, IoT and artificial intelligence
Innovation is now taking us to new frontiers: broader asset coverage, deployment of smart sensors, drones for inspection, and over 100,000 images collected in the field. This data enables:
- Preventive maintenance: anticipating failures and reducing downtime.
- Resource optimisation: more efficient use of energy, water and materials.
- Environmental impact reduction: data-driven decisions to minimise emissions and risks.
We have already achieved SAP integration to automate work orders and improve productivity. In this way, once AI detects an anomaly, a work order is automatically generated without requiring prior validation—transforming data into decisions.

It is not just about collecting information, but about turning it into intelligent decisions:
- Detect anomalies before they escalate into critical failures.
- Prioritise interventions more accurately and cost-effectively.
- Extend the lifecycle of assets through predictive analysis.
Each innovation we develop is continuously improved and shared, generating a global impact that transcends day-to-day operations.
“The convergence of robotics, AI and IoT not only optimises processes, but transforms the way the energy industry plans, manages and preserves its assets.” — Amelia Bálsamo, CTO at Uali
At Uali, we continue to grow. We combine drones with artificial intelligence to deliver precise, actionable data to the energy industry. We inspect the safety of our clients’ assets, optimising decision-making processes and generating a positive environmental impact. Discover more about us!
