  Taking advantage of the rapid development of the electronics, computer, mechanical engineering, robotics, photonics and telecommunications sectors, our experts have been focusing their R&D efforts on developing and integrating devices (hardware/software) capable of analyzing, measuring, monitoring, diagnosing or controlling, either intermittently or continuously, various types of generation, transmission and distribution equipment as well as different operating conditions.
 
Our specialists are also responsible for designing and developing high-tech tools used for preventive and corrective maintenance. These measurement systems, which include robotized and other types of systems, facilitate the inspection and maintenance of installations and equipment in addition to enhancing on-the-job safety, improving service quality and increasing the productivity of generating stations.
 
Through their work, our experts have helped integrate automation methods and upgrade the power system. They propose innovative and integrated technological solutions that support the company's core activities. As a result, Hydro-Québec can operate its grid in an efficient and cost-effective manner.
