Implement risk-based vegetation management

A quarter of all power outages in the U.S. are caused by vegetation. We help you assess the status of your understory vegetation so that you can ensure reliable power for your customers.

Are there at-risk areas that should be proactively addressed before the next trimming cycle?

Cycle-based trimming struggles to account for variable growth patterns, weather events, and natural disasters. Transition to risk-based trimming by leveraging our system to automatically help you quantify the amount of vegetation surrounding your grid assets.

Is there any vegetation within critical distances from my grid infrastructure?

Sometimes, all it takes is a single stray branch or vine to cause an outage. Our systems operate like an extra pair of (digital) eyes on the grid, helping you identify and flag potential issues even when you aren't on dedicated inspection truck rolls.

Did my tree trimming service complete their work?

Reduce the amount of dedicated go-back truck rolls. Our system automatically collects and analyzes the data so that you can verify that third-party work was performed to spec.

Make smarter decisions with up-to-date vegetation risk assessments

Leverage AI to automatically assess vegetation hotspots and enact proactive maintenance measures.

Assess vegetation volumes

Our system calculates the cubic volume of vegetation surrounding assets to identify areas of light, medium, and heavy overgrowth.

Validate work order completion

Reduce the number of "go-back" truck rolls by using our systems to stay up-to-date on the state of your grid.

Flag at-risk components

High-resolution imagery allows our models to pinpoint stray branches that could cause outages.  

Integrate with existing work order systems

Our cloud software has an extensive API that can easily communicate with work order systems to automatically create tickets for field crews.

how it works

Getting started is as easy as 1, 2, 3

Our system is  specifically designed to address the unique challenges faced by the distribution grid.

1

Mount

Once you start a project with us, we ship you the hardware and a customer representative will travel onsite to make sure that everything is properly mounted, calibrated and configured.

2

Drive

You operate the vehicle as normal—we'll monitor the system status remotely to make sure that the data collection is going smoothly.

3

Operationalize

Our proprietary machine learning models process the collected data to get immediately operationalized results—not data overload.

Compare Noteworthy to other evaluation methods

Noteworthy Inspect is the only system that solves data collection challenges at-scale by leveraging your existing fleet and operating fully autonomously with no crew disruption. To learn more about how our solution compares to other technologies, download our whitepaper below.
