Utilities Use Cases

Utility Use Cases and Their Applications

Perimeter Security

Enhances the security of utility installations by providing regular and on-demand aerial surveillance, identifying potential security breaches or risks.

Inspections of Critical or Remote Assets

Facilitates thorough and regular inspections of hard-to-reach or critical infrastructure, such as substations and remote facilities, ensuring operational integrity and compliance.

Power Line Inspections

Employs drones to conduct detailed inspections of power lines and associated infrastructure, detecting issues like line damage or vegetation encroachment that could lead to outages.

Pipeline Inspection

Allows for the aerial monitoring of pipelines to identify leaks, corrosion, or other potential threats, minimizing environmental risks and service disruptions.

Construction Management

Provides real-time, aerial views of construction sites, enabling managers to monitor progress, manage resources effectively, and ensure adherence to safety standards.

Construction Planning and Design

Assists in the surveying and mapping of construction sites before and during the building process, ensuring designs are accurately implemented and adjusted as needed.

Power Generation Management

Supports the monitoring and management of power generation facilities, from traditional plants to renewable energy farms, optimizing performance and maintenance.

Boiler Inspection

Enables detailed and safe inspection of boilers and heat exchangers in power plants, detecting issues without the need for shutdowns or human entry.

Wind Turbine Inspection

Provides efficient, close-up inspections of wind turbines, including blades and towers, to assess wear and detect potential maintenance needs.

Solar Panel Inspections

Uses thermal imaging and visual inspections to assess the condition of solar panels, identifying defective cells or areas needing maintenance to maximize efficiency.
