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
