AI at work: Southern Nuclear’s adoption of Copilot agents drives fleet forward
Southern Nuclear is leading the charge in artificial intelligence integration, with employee-developed applications driving efficiencies in maintenance, operations, safety, and performance.
The tools span all roles within the company, with thousands of documented uses throughout the fleet, including improved maintenance efficiency, risk awareness in maintenance activities, and better-informed decision-making. The data-intensive process of preparing for and executing maintenance operations is streamlined by leveraging AI to put the right information at the fingertips for maintenance leaders, planners, schedulers, engineers, and technicians.
Educational Session|Panel|Sponsored by Performance Improvement

This session provides a forum for discussion of fundamental principles that make complex data more understandable, usable, and accessible so that station leaders can more effectively communicate performance gaps and make better informed decisions for the organization. A framework, currently in use at one organization, will provide the basis of a discussion on key attributes to support a deliberate, step-by-step approach that helps measure what matters in a more efficient and more engaging manner. The intent of this session is to lay the foundation for future work on exploring the value of using AI/Machine Learning to improve data analytics and visualization.
