Sterlite Electric Limited and Lumiker Aplicaciones Technogicas S.L (RDT Lumiker) have announced the formation of a joint venture, Sterlumiq, for establishing a platform for development, manufacture, sales, and services of cable advanced monitoring optical solutions (CAMOS) and associated products.
The joint venture has unveiled CAMOS, an advanced fiber-optic sensing and analytics platform that transforms conventional power and telecom cables into intelligent, self-monitoring assets.
Pratik Agarwal, Managing Director, Sterlite Electric, said: “Our partnership with RDT Lumiker to form Sterlumiq is a strategic step towards addressing this gap. By combining engineering capabilities with advanced sensing technologies, we are building a differentiated capability that brings intelligence to a traditionally opaque part of the grid.”
Frederic Trefois, CEO, Sterlite Electric, said: “Sterlumiq represents an important step in expanding our capabilities beyond manufacturing and system integration into digital and analytics-led solutions.”
Manuel Munoz Luengo, CEO, RDT Lumiker (selected as CEO Sterlumiq), said: “Sterlumiq has been established to bring a new level of intelligence and operational visibility to power cable networks through an integrated sensing and analytics platform.”
The platform is designed to help utilities transition from reactive maintenance to predictive asset management. The company claims measurable operational benefits including 60% reduction in energy losses caused by outages through early anomaly detection, over 50% lower maintenance costs by replacing local inspections with remote diagnostics, and increase in transmission capacity through dynamic asset loading.
Sterlumiq’s solutions are expected to benefit transmission system operators, distribution utilities, renewable energy developers, industrial power consumers and data centres.
