"Homes and businesses depend on a reliable flow of electricity, even as the networks serving them become more complex. ADMS gives utilities the visibility and control needed to manage that complexity and respond when service is disrupted," said Jean-François Segalotto, Senior Associate Advisor at IDC Energy Insights. "Hitachi Energy's recognition as a Leader reflects the depth of its integrated platform, its outage and restoration capabilities, and the decades of grid-engineering expertise it brings to customers."

ADMS expertise built for a more complex grid
An advanced distribution management system (ADMS) helps utilities monitor and manage the distribution electricity networks that deliver power to homes and businesses. It brings network data and operational tools together so that control room operators can identify emerging problems, evaluate responses, and restore service safely during outages.

That visibility and control are increasingly important as rooftop solar, batteries, and electric vehicles reshape networks originally designed for one-way power flows. Rising demand, aging infrastructure, and extreme weather add to the challenge, making it essential for operators to understand changing conditions and act quickly.

Hitachi Energy's Network Manager ADMS gives operators a shared, up-to-date view of the grid and tools to translate that information into action. It helps utilities:

• Strengthen grid reliability and resilience
• Reduce outage duration and accelerate restoration
• Enable greater DER and renewable integration
• Improve operational efficiency through automation
• Support regulatory compliance and protect the license to operate

These capabilities build on more than 130 years of Hitachi Energy's utility-sector heritage and decades of grid operations software development worldwide.

The IDC MarketScape states: "Hitachi Energy draws on a deep bench of grid-automation and control-system engineering talent concentrated in Europe, a legacy of the ABB Power Grids organization that developed Network Manager over more than three decades. That continuity shows in the solution itself: the platform's SCADA foundation is shared across transmission and distribution, its distribution state estimation handles high-DER conditions without requiring telemetry from every resource, and some operators highlight the vendors' willingness to engineer capabilities for grid-specific conditions that fall outside standard product scope."

The report advises: "Consider Hitachi Energy when seeking a deeply integrated SCADA, DMS, OMS, switching, and DER-aware operational platform, particularly for large or complex utilities that value a common real-time network model, strong outage and restoration capabilities, advanced network analysis, and the ability to coordinate distribution operations with adjacent transmission-control environments."

"Utilities need to stay in control of power and keep it flowing while managing more complex networks and increasingly demanding operating conditions," said Andy Howell, Global Head of Enterprise Software Product Group, Hitachi Energy. "Our Network Manager platform helps operators command that complexity by bringing data, systems, and people together to work as one, turning real-time visibility into informed decisions and coordinated action. Grounded in decades of delivery experience and backed by implementation, integration, training, and support services, we help utilities evolve safely while maintaining the reliable operations their customers depend on."

Purpose-built for the evolving grid
Hitachi Energy's Network Manager ADMS unifies distribution SCADA, advanced network applications, outage management, and analytics into a single enterprise-grade platform. It connects the control room and field crews through a shared, real-time view of operations to support grid resilience, safety, and efficiency.

The platform supports distributed energy resource (DER) optimization and renewable energy integration, with predictive tools to help operators prepare for severe weather and storms. By connecting data, people, and automated systems, it helps utilities reduce outage durations and adapt to a more flexible, sustainable electricity system.

Celebrating a Decade of Industry Leadership as the Landmark Forum Convenes 500+ Pre-Qualified Decision-Makers, 100+ Speakers, and 4 Co-Located Summits at Le Méridien Jakarta

JAKARTA, Indonesia, Nov. 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Marking a decade of steering the nation's lodging and real estate landscape, the 10th Hospitality Indonesia Conference (#HIC2027) will officially convene on January 27–28, 2027, at Le Méridien Jakarta. This landmark 10th edition of the Hospitality Indonesia Conference will bring together 500+ pre-qualified executive attendees representing 300+ leading companies, 100+ expert speakers across 30+ in-depth sessions and masterclasses, 40+ sponsors and strategic partners, and 4 branded industry summits, reaching a global media outreach of 1M+.

A decade in the making, #HIC2027 arrives as Indonesia's hospitality market crosses the threshold into high-value market maturity. As the asset class shifts dynamically away from traditional hubs and toward a country-wide expansion, the industry is forcing a complete re-evaluation of its traditional borders. This landmark two-day forum serves as the definitive business exchange for the capital, real estate, and operational minds ready to map a highly integrated, borderless future for the archipelago's next economic chapter.

The 10th anniversary edition centers on the overarching theme, "The Connected Ecosystem: Mapping the New Boundaries of Indonesian Hospitality," a core strategic directive challenging stakeholders to rethink how investment, design, revenue, and travel link together to serve a new class of global and regional guests. Over two intensive days, institutional funds, private equity partners, master architects, and commercial directors will bypass surface-level talk to dissect the realities of this newly interconnected built environment. Discussions will focus squarely on expanding asset valuation frontiers, structural decarbonization across new territories, and embedding predictive data loops into everyday management.

Rather than simply reflecting on ten years of past achievements, this celebratory milestone focuses on establishing the commercial parameters and operational blueprints for the next ten years of Indonesian lodging.
