Maps detections to distribution structures, ranks condition evidence.
Power utilities collect large volumes of visual evidence from field crews, aircraft, drones, and fixed cameras, but manual review cannot keep pace with system scale. Images and video often remain disconnected from asset records and work planning. Defects or urgent events can therefore wait for attention while outage, wildfire, safety, and security exposure grows. Teams need consistent analysis, mapped findings, and a direct path from detection to field response.
Distribution Grid Inspection Analytics applies visual analysis to inspection evidence from distribution poles, crossarms, transformers, insulators, conductors, nearby vegetation, and inspection imagery. PowerAI or PowerGUARD processes compatible RGB, thermal, image, or video inputs and associates supported detections with the relevant physical asset. Utility teams see mapped findings, condition evidence, reports, or alerts in the configured application. They use that evidence to prioritize inspection, maintenance, safety, or security response.
The utility configures assets, users, visual sources, detection rules, and integrations. Cameras, drones, aircraft, or field crews collect RGB, thermal, image, or video evidence. The evidence reaches the configured Buzz deployment, where the system analyzes aerial and ground RGB or thermal imagery to inventory assets and detect pole, crossarm, transformer, and vegetation issues. It then maps detections to distribution structures, ranks condition evidence, and prepares reports and supported system exports. Authorized teams review the mapped result or alert and verify high-risk locations, trim vegetation, repair damaged equipment, and prepare pre-storm or post-storm work. Supported findings can pass to GIS, asset, or work-order systems.
