Salt Lake City, UT, 30 August, 2022. data phleet, Inc., an innovative provider of robotic process automation (RPA) solutions, today announces the completion and successful testing of the first ever PRC compliance automation for PRC-024-3, bringing the benefits of RPA to the electrical energy industry.

data phleet RPA solutions harness the power of artificial intelligence (AI) to perform cognitive processes: sourcing and interpreting text, reading one-line diagrams, optimizing unstructured data, and applying advanced machine learning to simplify NERC Protection and Control Standards (PRC) compliance. For example, instead of using system operators to trudge through hours of repetitive, error-prone, mundane work for PRC compliance, data phleet RPA solutions accomplish those same tasks in a matter of seconds, allowing system operators to focus on the tasks that truly increase facility reliability and company profitability.

NERC compliance-related tasks are becoming increasingly complex and tedious. As compliance personnel spend more time performing these tasks (often with a tenuous relation to the actual reliability of facilities) it’s important that NERC registered entities implement solutions that increase compliance and reduce risk. At the same time, the global employee shortage and cost reduction realities are forcing companies to place greater responsibilities on their existing compliance personnel. According to Kevin Koger, CRO of data phleet, “There is no more needful time than now for the significant benefits of data phleet’s compliance automation solutions to become available to the electrical energy industry. We are here to change how the industry accomplishes compliance, and affect more positive outcomes.”

Because of the difficult and tedious nature of PRC compliance (e.g. 92% of FAC-008 audits find potential violations) and the costly and time-intensive nature of out-of-cycle PRC audits, they are performed sparingly and often only in preparation for the Regional Entity's audits. This results in large blindspots for power companies, leading to potentially significant penalties and costly mitigation and remediation efforts.

“data phleet is excited to provide this first of many automation processes to the electrical energy industry, enabling NERC Registered Entities and power companies to take advantage of data phleet’s disruptive tools that will simplify complex, compliance-related tasks to execute audits proactively, frequently, and at a fraction of the time and cost compared with doing so manually. Our dp: Bots can be started with the click of a button or they can be scheduled to run as needed, and compliance checks will be completed in a matter of seconds instead of hours or even days,” comments Ryan Larsen, CEO of data phleet. He says, “data phleet not only enables staff to accomplish more consistent and accurate compliance in less time, but we also reduce penalties and violation-related remediation and mitigation costs, potentially saving our clients millions of dollars per year.”
