“8 Ways to Optimize Drone Asset Inspections: Optelos Puts Together Lessons Learned from Enterprise Clients”
Automated Transmission Line Inspection
Leverage our drone power line inspection software for efficient monitoring of Transmission and Distribution lines over a large geography, utilizing visual AI to flag assets requiring technician review, improving team productivity, inspection capacity and accuracy.
Geolocate Insulator and Bracket Damage
Conduct UAV power line inspections of transmission lines, structural and component inspections and view issues on a map by geolocation. Prioritize T&D sector repairs based upon damage density and severity, improving maintenance crew cost efficiency, productivity and impact.
Monitor Vegetation Encroachment
Use drone electrical inspection imagery to compare and audit conditions over time to detect and prioritize encroachment issues. Overlay and compare detailed orthomosaic maps to track progressing issues and predict future mitigation requirements.
“Since 2019 Optelos has delivered significant improvement to our Transmission Network Inspection processes. The platform was customized to identify specific transmission network conditions and streamline the inspection and remediation process, reducing remediation times by -70% and increasing inspection capacity +300%.”
