Pilot first, with a point to face. China Southern Power Grid Corporation has stepped up and planned to promote the construction of various professional pilot projects. It has built a smart substation with Zhongshan Guangming Station and Yunnan Baoshan Shidian Station as pilots, and built a smart distribution network pilot project with Foshan Financial High-tech Zone intelligent power distribution room as a pilot. Up to now, Zhongshan Guangming Station's intelligent patrol pilot has achieved outstanding results, achieving 100% inspection unattended, intelligent operation nearly 90%, patrol maintenance efficiency is significantly improved, and time is reduced by more than 80%; Foshan Financial High-tech Zone intelligent power distribution room on-site inspection time The compression is nearly 35%, and the fault self-healing function is fully covered in the area, and the average power outage time of the customer is reduced to 5 minutes.

Marketing innovation deepens

"Hello, I am a robot 'Xiaozhi', what is the problem, even if you ask me!" On-site observation, the natural language dialogue from the Shenzhen Power Supply Bureau, the customer service robot avatar power service for the "small encyclopedia", accurately answered the observation Questions raised by personnel.

Marketing is the "bovine nose" operated by China Southern Power Grid Corporation, and its importance is self-evident. Faced with the new marketing situation, the company actively explored marketing and service innovation, and continuously promoted the deep integration and deep development of artificial intelligence and marketing business, and achieved good social and economic benefits.

“The company has built an industry-leading Internet unified service platform, which has effectively promoted the transformation of traditional customer services to Internet services.” According to the relevant person in charge of the marketing department of China Southern Power Grid Corporation, the current number of platform users is nearly 35 million, and the proportion of Internet services is 88%. Self-service can be realized for business such as check-in, business expansion, electronic invoice, and remote agent interaction. The customer “does not run at one time”. At the same time, after one year of online service of Guangdong Power Grid Corporation, the average daily service customer reached 2,000, accounting for 20% of the manual traffic, effectively diverting 95,598 manual traffic, and the robot answer rate was 90%.

In Guangzhou Nansha Smart Business Hall, the fixed manual counters for customer service are missing, replaced by intelligent robots and self-service terminals. It is not just Nansha. In order to promote the transformation of the power supply business hall to the customer experience hall and the intelligent business hall, China Southern Power Grid Company has made full use of the technology of Yundawuzhizhi and other technologies to create autonomous power in 10 power supply bureaus such as Shenzhen Futian, Dongguan Songshan Lake and Kunming Wuhua. Innovative smart business hall, to achieve full business without waiting, no way to fill in, do not line up self-service, effectively improve work efficiency and customer service experience.

In order to promote the transformation of customer service from passive service to active service, the company also used the technology of face recognition, graphic recognition and other technologies to initially build a mobile operation system based on intelligent technology. Customer service personnel can complete the expansion and registration of the service at the service site. Receive work. The data shows that there are 47,000 active users of mobile terminal operation APPs in the whole network marketing business, accounting for 50% of the total network marketing personnel, achieving full coverage of 3,594 power supply stations throughout the network.

At the same time, the company comprehensively promoted the construction of smart metering, and realized the automation and intelligence of the copying and verification and measurement verification. Among them, Guangdong Power Grid Corporation has built the largest centralized metrological verification system with the largest verification capability and leading technology.
