Proactive Infrastructure Intelligence for Critical Assets

There are 185 million electric distribution poles in the United States and they are notoriously difficult to manage. Due to the sheer size of the grid, it's extremely difficult for utilities to know exactly where distribution poles are, what’s on them and what condition they are in. Why? Because collecting and analyzing the data necessary to answer these questions 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 it doesn’t adequately mitigate risks related to grid reliability, resiliency and 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.
