Bayernwerk Netz, headquartered in Regensburg, operates one of the largest regional power distribution networks in Bavaria. The company ensures the reliable supply of energy to millions of people across the region. Managing such a widespread network requires seamless coordination and high-performance infrastructure, especially as renewable energy sources increasingly contribute to overall capacity.
Challenge
To manage its operational technology (OT) networks, those that control and monitor physical processes such as energy distribution and grid communications, Bayernwerk needed a solution that could provide complete, consistent, and accessible documentation of its entire communications network. This included both physical infrastructure and logical services, supporting multiple departments and ensuring data integrity across systems.
Solution
VertiGIS ConnectMaster has been supporting Bayernwerk Netz’s communications network management for many years. The platform acts as the central system of record, documenting a wide range of physical and logical network components. Interfaces and data adapters enable integration with Bayernwerk’s monitoring and management systems, embedding VertiGIS ConnectMaster deeply into its operational workflows.
In addition to software implementation, VertiGIS provided:
- Migration of legacy data from various systems
- Custom configuration and system adaptation
- Integration with NMS systems for data exchange
- Installation, testing, and ongoing support
- Regular training and consulting to meet evolving needs
Results
VertiGIS ConnectMaster is now an integral part of Bayernwerk Netz’s daily operations. The system ensures reliable, consistent documentation across all departments, improving visibility and coordination. Its integration with monitoring systems has strengthened service continuity, operational responsiveness, and laid a solid foundation for future infrastructure growth.
“We rely on VertiGIS ConnectMaster daily. It gives our teams a unified, transparent view of the entire OT infrastructure—essential for managing renewable energy distribution at scale.”
