Proactive Infrastructure Intelligence for Critical Assets

There are 185 million electric distribution poles in the United States and they are notoriously difficult to manage. Most utilities struggle to know exactly where their poles are, what’s on them and what condition they are in. The reason is that collecting data on the distribution grid is currently a slow, manual and costly process—often done by sending out dedicated crews and trucks with binoculars, cameras and paper forms. This process is expensive, difficult to scale and doesn’t mitigate risks related to grid reliability, resiliency & safety.

Asset Inventory

Automatically inventory pole components such as insulators, cutouts, transformers, lightning arresters, and pole composition, while capturing the geographic coordinates of each pole.

Asset Inspection

Automatically identify defects in pole equipment such as leaking and corroded transformers, broken lightning arresters, pole damage and more.

3rd Party Attachments

Identify and track equipment from 3rd party pole attachers. Measure distances to ensure compliance to NESC clearance requirements.

Vegetation Overgrowth

Quickly identify areas with extensive overgrowth to enable proactive pruning and maintenance procedures to minimize outage risk.

Unregulated Lighting

Digitize and confirm wattage, serial numbers and other information against existing databases. Assess condition and function of attached lighting components.
