The Story
We developed an autonomous drone inspection system for a major utility company to inspect power lines, substations, and transmission towers. The drones capture high-resolution imagery and use AI to detect anomalies automatically.
Challenges
- 1Vast infrastructure spread across remote areas
- 2Manual inspections dangerous and time-consuming
- 3Need for consistent, objective defect detection
- 4Regulatory compliance for BVLOS operations
Solutions
- Built autonomous flight planning with terrain awareness
- Developed computer vision models for defect detection
- Created cloud-based analytics platform
- Obtained BVLOS waivers through safety case development
