Drones solutions deliver detailed and accurate data on all parts of the grid, automating inspection, enabling timely repairs, and reducing downtime.
Power Grid Management Key Benefits
Vegetation ManagementQuickly map power line corridors, creating accurate 2D and 3D models that measure the distance between vegetation and power lines, helping to maintain a safe clearance distance. |
Asset Integrity ManagementConduct frequent, on-demand inspections to monitor the safety, reliability, and integrity of the power grid, improving efficiency and eliminating risks. |
Detailed InspectionAcquire standardized inspection data from automated drone inspections that identify defects accurately.
|
Thermal InspectionGain real-time temperature readings of assets using drones equipped with radiometric thermal sensors to immediately identify abnormalities. |
Fault InspectionCapture the status of the asset from multiple angles using drones to reveal any faults or defects and address them in a timely manner. |
Nighttime InspectionConduct inspections in lowlight conditions or at night using a drone equipped with a spotlight.

Vegetation Management
Traditional Challenges in Asset Integrity ManagementPower grids often span across far distances, which can be hard to access and manual inspections can be time-consuming. |
How Drones Help Manage Asset IntegrityDrones can take off in minutes, covering large areas during each flight, delivering actionable insights efficiently. |
Detailed Inspection
Traditional Challenges in Detailed InspectionsInspection personnel need to examine and screen all the components of a pylon, which is demanding on the teams.
|
How Drones Conduct Detailed InspectionAutomated flight routes can be set up to inspect high-rising assets, creating detailed 3D point clouds without risking the safety of human operators. |
Thermal Inspection
Traditional Challenges in Thermal InspectionsThermal inspection equipment on the ground cannot give insight into the conditions of tall structures.
|
How Drones Conduct Thermal InspectionDrones can capture the asset from multiple angles, and are easy to operate so that crucial details are not missed. |
Fault Inspection
Traditional Challenges in Fault InspectionSerious faults often require immediate repairs, manual inspections can cause delays in repairs that result in losses. |
How Drones Conduct Fault InspectionDrones provide an aerial perspective that captures critical information regardless of the environment, enabling teams to act quickly and minimizing losses. |
Nighttime Inspection
Traditional Challenges in Nighttime InspectionInspections often cannot take place in low-visibility situations, and personnel could be exposed to greater risks when inspecting at night. |
How Drones Conduct Nighttime InspectionDrones equipped with spotlights and thermal sensors can identify risks even in lowlight conditions or at night.
