Powerline inspections today
Power line inspection is crucial in ensuring the reliable and efficient delivery of electricity to homes and businesses. With thousands of miles of power lines stretching across vast territories, maintaining and inspecting these networks is challenging. However, various challenges can impede the effectiveness of powerline inspection!
the
Challenges
01 Fast analysis of huge data sets
The interpretation and analysis of collected data is time-consuming and complex. Inspectors must review and make sense of vast amounts of data gathered from various sensors, which can be challenging without advanced analysis tools and expertise.
02 Large Areas to inspect
One major challenge is the vast geographical coverage and the extensive network of powerlines that need to be monitored. This can make it time-consuming and resource-intensive to inspect every section of the powerline infrastructure regularly. Inspection at speed is therefore crucial.
03 Safety of the inspectors
Gone are the days when inspectors had to leave the safety of their vehicles to perform on-site assessments. With inspection at highway speed, GIS experts can now carry out inspections without ever stepping out of their cars. This not only eliminates potential hazards associated with working in high-traffic areas but also ensures the safety and well-being of the inspectors.
Powerline inspection at highway speed
By harnessing the power of a mobile mapping solution including, high-resolution imagery, thermal data, and AI, experts can now obtain safer, more reliable, and faster results than ever before. Leading to improved decision-making, proactive maintenance strategies, and enhanced operational efficiency.
Automated line patrol with mobile mapping offers several benefits. It enables efficient and accurate inspections of powerlines, reduces manual effort and costs, enhances safety by minimizing human exposure to hazardous environments, provides real-time data for proactive maintenance, and improves overall reliability of the power grid.
Highway Speed Inspections
The integration of mobile mapping equipment with high-resolution imagery and thermal data allows for real-time data collection at highway speeds.
This capability enables GIS experts to capture a wealth of information without the need to halt traffic or disrupt normal operations.

Intelligent processing decreases data volumes over 70%, while still attaining actionable results for the electric utility.
Safer Inspections from the Comfort of a Car
With automated inspection at highway speed, GIS experts can now carry out inspections without ever stepping out of their cars.
This not only eliminates potential hazards associated with working in high-traffic areas but also ensures the safety and well-being of the inspectors.

Inspectors can yield over 2000 miles per week, per car.
Reliable & Faster Information through AI
The integration of AI in inspection minimizes human interference, enhances reliability, and provides precise insights.
AI allows rapid analysis of large datasets, providing timely information. This empowers GIS experts to make informed decisions promptly, improving operational efficiency and reducing risks.
