DaasLabs · Energy, utilities & resources data and AI services

Data & AI services for energy companies — advise, build, transform, run.

DaasLabs teams set your data and AI strategy, build the platforms, transform trading, distribution, generation and assets, and run what we build — for discoms, generators and grid operators, oil and gas companies, and mining and metals businesses. Our Data Fabric Framework, pre-built accelerators and a supervised digital workforce of AI agents are how we deliver it faster.

02The challenge

Energy data and AI programmes stall because every one starts from zero.

OT and IT systems that never agree, asset knowledge held as free text and long implementations mean value arrives late — or not at all.

Siloed
SCADA, meters, billing, GIS, historians and ERP each hold one piece of the picture
Free text
Work orders, inspection reports and manuals that standard reports can't read
Late
Losses, deviation charges and failures visible months after the cause
On paper
Field surveys, inspections and reconciliations captured or chased by hand

Patterns we found in delivered energy and heavy-industry work — not industry statistics.

0369121518 months Typical programme still no production value 1 2 3 4 DaasLabs pilot on the framework & an accelerator 30–45 days to a production-ready capability

1 · No governed data foundation

SCADA, meter data, billing, GIS and ERP don't agree — sites and assets are counted differently and lineage is unknown.

2 · Services firms rebuild from scratch

Each project re-invents pipelines, models and controls, so timelines and fees grow.

3 · Software alone doesn't change the process

Point products solve one use case and leave integration, data and adoption to the utility.

4 · AI pilots never reach production

Proofs of concept built without data, controls and an operating model stay on the shelf.

03Market shift

Energy companies are moving from dashboards and copilots to agents that watch, explain and draft — with people deciding.

Agents now watch feeders, meters, plants and pipelines, explain what changed and draft the next step; engineers and officers decide.

Then · dashboards and copilots assist a person
Now · a person supervises many agents

So what for an energy company: the operating model moves from “a person reads the reports” to “agents do the work, a person supervises many agents” — which makes validation, autonomy limits and audit trails the deciding capabilities, especially where grid, plant and pipeline safety are involved.

11How we deliver · Supervised digital workforce

28 agent roles across 8 energy domains — your engineers and officers supervise the exceptions.

Agents work across generation, the grid, discoms, the trading desk, oil and gas, heavy industry, assets and finance. Policy decides what goes straight through; people approve the exceptions — and no agent switches, dispatches, controls a plant, submits a bid or approves a dig.

12How an agent works a case

An agent does the legwork on every case; a person makes the call when policy says so.

Illustrative replay: a batch of UPI bill payments doesn't match the bills it should settle. The Payment & Subsidy Reconciler works it.

Plan Act Check Humangate Log PAYMENT RECONCILER Case resolved & logged 9 of 9 steps
  1. 1Source systemsA day's UPI and bill-payment settlement file arrives; some payments can't be matched to a consumer's bill — a wrong account number, a partial payment, a duplicate.
  2. 2Data fabricThe settlement file, the billing ledger and the bank statement land within minutes, quality-checked, as governed data products.
  3. 3Metadata & ontologyPayments, bills and consumers resolve to the same consumer and connection on the master record, with lineage back to each source.
  4. 4ContextTolerance rules, past mismatches for the same channel and the revenue procedure are assembled — only what this officer may see, with consumer data masked.
  5. 5AgentPlans and calls tools through the secure AI gateway: get_settlement find_bills get_bank_credit; proposes a match, a split or a refund query with evidence and a confidence score.
  6. 6PolicyKill switch, autonomy level, confidence ≥ 0.90 and a difference within tolerance decide: straight through, or to a person.
  7. 7Human gateThe accounts officer (revenue) reviews the evidence on one screen and approves, edits or rejects the proposal.
  8. 8ActionA governed, typed action posts the payment to the right bill — or drafts a refund or consumer query — limited, idempotent and reversible.
  9. 9AuditEvery step, tool call and decision is recorded; outcomes feed the evaluation that decides whether autonomy can be raised.
13Autonomy & guardrails

Autonomy is set per agent and kept low wherever safety or supply is at stake — inside hard guardrails.

14Proof

Energy companies are already running what DaasLabs teams delivered and built.

Delivered for a national oil company in the Gulf; built for an Indian tower-energy estate, a pipeline-integrity firm and heavy industry. Client names withheld.

National oil company in the Gulf · maintenance system and 500,000+ documents

Asset knowledge was locked away from the field

Engineers needed to ask in Arabic, by voice, in noisy plants. We delivered a multilingual LLM platform over the maintenance system and technical documents: answers in under 5 seconds, maintenance decisions in minutes rather than days, and equipment lifespan extended by 37%.

National telecom-tower company, India · billing plus operational feeds

Energy was the biggest cost, seen one bill at a time

We built one Energy-360 model across 257K sites in 23 circles, reconciling over a million billing rows with grid, diesel, battery and solar run-hours, with a per-site score and a whole-fleet stress lab.

15Value

What could a supervised agent squad free up in your business?

Move the sliders to your own volumes. Agents work the cases; people review only the exceptions.

FTE = hours saved ÷ 150. Cost saved = hours saved × cost per hour, in lakh (L) and crore (Cr). Supervisor capacity = 150 h × 60 ÷ ((1 − STP share) × review minutes). Excludes platform and run costs.

16Why DaasLabs

17How we engage

Four phases, each ending with something you keep — and three ways to buy it.

1

Discovery & Planning

2–6 weeks

You receive a maturity assessment and target blueprint, with a prioritised roadmap.

Gate: pilot scope signed off
2

Analysis & Design

3–6 weeks

Target-state design and ontology, mapped to your controls; agent autonomy agreed with operations, safety and finance.

Gate: design authority
3

Build & Deploy

Sprints · pilot live in 30–45 days

Landing zone as code, pipelines, accelerators and agents configured and tested on real data.

Gate: go-live readiness
4

Support & Embed

Hypercare, then your choice

Gate: handover sign-off
Ownership moves to you as the DaasLabs pod steps back
■ DaasLabs podWeekly status · bi-weekly steering · phase-gated sign-off■ Your team

Staff Augmentation

Architects, data and AI engineers embedded in your teams, under your delivery lead.

Best when you run the programme and need specialist capacity.

Project Delivery

Outcome-based delivery of an accelerator or platform build by a DaasLabs pod, with phase gates.

Best for a pilot or a new layer of the target architecture.

Managed Services

We run and improve the platform, models and agents — DataOps, MLOps and AgentOps under SLAs.

Best after handover, while your team builds its run capability.
18Pilot proposal

A 30–45 day accelerator pilot proves value on one use case before you commit to scale.

Fixed scope, fixed timeline, agreed success criteria — and a scale-up business case at the end.

One accelerator & its agent squad

Typically forecasts, bid drafts and DSM watch for one trading portfolio, energy accounting for one circle, or the asset assistant for one asset class, with agents starting at “suggest” or “act with approval”.

2–3 source systems

e.g. smart meters, billing and the network GIS — or the maintenance system and technical documents.

One business unit

e.g. one circle, one plant or one pipeline section, with a named owner and SMEs for rules and UAT.

DaasLabs pod

Engagement lead, data engineer, domain SME, AI / agent engineer.
