Microsoft & Irth Deliver AI-Driven Decision Intelligence for Pipeline Integrity

When: Tuesday, March 24 at 10 am - 10:30 am

Brandon Taylor, Chief Business Officer

Matt Stevenson, Engineering and Technical Director, Phillips 66

Selena Billesberger, Industry Director, Microsoft

Description:

Large midstream operators spend hundreds of millions of dollars annually on integrity, inspection, and maintenance. Even small improvements in how operators prioritize maintenance can have significant financial impacts.

Irth’s Asset Integrity for Pipelines (AIP) solution delivers AI-driven decision intelligence to optimize dig programs and enhance asset reliability saving large midstream operators tens of millions of dollars each year. AIP, available exclusively on Microsoft Azure, is trusted by midstream operators managing over 60% of regulated pipelines in the United States helping them make faster, better decisions through unified analytics, intelligent automation, and AI assistants.

Hear directly from Phillips 66 on the real-world impact of AIP and see a demo highlighting the first step toward embedding copilot-powered assistants in AIP to help engineers navigate PHMSA regulations, access product knowledge, and accelerate integrity workflows.

Microsoft & Irth Deliver AI-Driven Decision Intelligence for Pipeline Integrity

When: Tuesday, March 24 at 10 am - 10:30 am

Energy infrastructure is becoming more complex, data-rich, and software-defined. In response, operators are shifting from reactive processes to AI-enabled decision intelligence.

In this joint session, Microsoft and Irth showcase how their partnership is helping operators operationalize AI through unified data, intelligent automation, and Copilot-powered agents. Featuring insights from Phillips 66, the discussion will highlight real-world impact, platform evolution, and the financial and operational benefits of AI-driven decision support.

A recorded demo will illustrate how intelligent agents assist teams in turning integrity data into faster, more confident decisions.

Damage Prevention - Tasks

When It Comes to Damage Prevention, Nobody Has Irth’s Experience with 811 Ticket Management

Our customers in the energy, gas utility, telecommunications, and electric utility industries have millions of miles of pipelines, cables, and critical network infrastructure that need constant, vigilant protection. We understand that one misguided excavation can result in serious injury to workers or a massive outage that could be crippling to business and communities.

By using Irth’s cloud-based platform, companies can electronically receive, respond to, and resolve excavation requests. Our solution is connected to every one call center in North America, so you can manage 811 tickets no matter where your critical network infrastructure is. Our technology is also constantly updated to adhere to regulations across all states, provinces, and territories. We’re committed to ensuring your critical assets are functioning and protected from potential damage.

Protect your critical infrastructure, improve public safety, and meet time-sensitive regulations — all from one platform.
