TRC Companies Showcases Geospatial Innovations at Esri IMGIS 2025

TRC Companies, Inc., a leader in modern professional services, is gearing up to exhibit groundbreaking geospatial innovations aimed at enhancing infrastructure at the upcoming Esri Infrastructure Management & GIS Conference (IMGIS) 2025, scheduled to take place from October 28 to October 30 in Palm Springs, California. Attending attendees can find TRC at booth #425.

As the energy sector continues its transition toward more sustainable practices, TRC offers comprehensive services to utilities looking to modernize and optimize their operations. Their expertise in GIS (Geographical Information Systems) and GeoAI (Geospatial Artificial Intelligence) positions them to help translate complex spatial data into actionable insights. This ability is critical for utility companies striving for efficiency and modernization within their operations.

Innovations Highlighted at the Conference

At the IMGIS conference, TRC will showcase its extensive capabilities, which encompass ArcGIS Enterprise, Utility Network migrations, mobile workforce enablement, and integration with vital operational platforms such as ADMS (Advanced Distribution Management Systems), OMS (Outage Management Systems), and asset management systems.

Casey Werth, TRC's Managing Director for North American Sales in Intelligent Grid Solutions, emphasized the importance of unlocking spatial data as a strategic asset. He noted that attendees would gain invaluable insights on improving reliability and customer service in their operations.

One of the key features of TRC's showcase is the impressive capabilities of their AI-driven tools. TRC's agentic generative AI platform connects seamlessly with GIS and asset management systems, allowing users to harness deep insights through natural language processing. Unlike traditional methods that required complex software interfaces, TRC's developments simplify data analysis, making it accessible to a broader range of users.

Todd Slind, TRC's AI Capability Leader, highlighted a real success story where TRC's AI technology was utilized. A typical, labor-intensive task—mapping four million utility poles—was completed in a mere 15 months, a process that would have taken nearly three decades if done manually. This demonstrates the significant efficiency gains achievable through innovative AI applications in the utility sector.
