BASE Automation Partners with Snowflake to Accelerate AI-Driven Energy Operations

FORT MILL, SC - January 27, 2026 - BASE Automation, a global leader in industrial automation and Industry 4.0 solutions, today announced its collaboration with Snowflake, the AI Data Cloud company, to support the launch of Snowflake's new Energy Solutions and help energy organizations use data and AI more effectively across their operations. Through this collaboration BASE Automation, Snowflake, and other industry leaders are empowering oil and gas, power and utilities providers to modernize infrastructure, improve efficiency, and accelerate progress toward a more reliable and lower-carbon future.

As energy companies face pressure to secure critical infrastructure, improve operational resilience, and navigate volatile markets with real-time insight, BASE Automation is delivering a plug-and-play anomaly detection and predictive maintenance solution that reduces equipment downtime 20-40% across compressors, pumps, and pipelines. With BASE Automation and Snowflake, joint customers can bring together critical data across IT, OT, and IoT systems to activate AI-powered insights for more secure and efficient operations.

"Our integration represents the perfect convergence of BASE Automation's 30+ years of OT, IT and IIoT expertise and Snowflake's AI Data Cloud, delivering plug-and-play predictive maintenance that prevents millions in downtime for energy operators," said Rahul, Director - Industry 4.0, of BASE Automation. "Our deep SCADA/IIoT integration complements Snowflake's Cortex AI and scalable time-series analytics, enabling joint customers to deploy autonomous failure detection on compressors and pipelines in weeks, not years, achieving 20-40% downtime reduction with zero infrastructure overhaul."

As energy systems become more interconnected and digital, organizations need a unified and governed view of their most critical data. Snowflake's Energy Solutions establish this foundation by helping companies bridge traditionally siloed IT and OT systems, collaborate more seamlessly with ecosystem partners, and unlock new AI-driven capabilities that improve reliability, efficiency, and long-term performance.

"Energy companies aren't just modernizing systems - they're redefining operational reliability with AI-driven predictive maintenance," said Fred Cohagan, Global Head of Energy, Snowflake. "Snowflake and partners like BASE Automation are providing the trusted data foundation for real-time vibration analysis and equipment failure prediction. When companies unify SCADA/OT data with Snowflake's AI Data Cloud, they activate autonomous agents that can cut unplanned downtime and create measurable competitive advantages in a high-stakes energy landscape."

Leveraging Snowflake and BASE Automation, energy organizations can:

● Unify IT, OT & IoT Data for End-to-End Visibility: Break down traditional silos by consolidating business, operational, and market data into one secure platform. Provide real-time visibility across exploration, production, transmission/distribution, asset performance, trading/risk management and customer operations.

● Manage Asset Health & Improve Asset Performance with AI: Leverage AI and ML models to monitor asset health, reduce unplanned outages, and optimize O&M cost with throughput. Analyze long-term sensor and operational records to proactively detect risks and improve reliability.

● Improve Safety, Efficiency & Emissions Reduction: Combine field sensor data with enterprise systems to uncover insights that streamline operations, reduce downtime, and support protection of life, property and the environment.

● Modernize Infrastructure with Built-In Security & Governance: Enable data consistency, lineage, and compliance across complex energy systems. Scale AI innovation without impacting cybersecurity or regulatory requirements.

● Collaborate Across the Energy Value Chain: Use secure data sharing and Snowflake Marketplace to enable multi-party collaboration with suppliers, regulators, asset operators, and service partners.
