Case Study: PNM boosts grid visibility and ensures reliable power delivery with Planar Systems' UltraRes video walls

PNM - Customer Case Study

PNM, the largest electric utility in New Mexico serving over 500,000 customers, needed to replace a paper-based control-room monitoring system to gain a clearer, real-time view of its power grid following a TMS and SCADA upgrade. To meet demanding control-room requirements, PNM selected Planar Systems’ Planar UltraRes Series ultra-high‑resolution displays to improve operators’ situational awareness and decision-making.

Systems integrator 5280 Digital implemented 84‑inch Planar UltraRes Series displays in redundant 2x2 4K arrays integrated with SCADA maps, giving each operator native 3840×2160 views they can zoom into to pinpoint system configuration and bottlenecks. The Planar Systems solution delivered immediate operational benefits — faster detection of issues, clearer power‑flow monitoring, and improved ability to manage energy traffic — helping PNM maintain more reliable service to customers.
