The problem
Without aerial and drone asset inspection, assets teams rely on sampling and after-the-fact review, while the signals in imagery sit unread, so problems surface only after the loss, incident or complaint.
How it works
Aerial and drone asset inspection - Vision on drone and satellite imagery for lines and vegetation. The approach relies on computer vision. It draws on imagery and is typically owned by assets teams. The main constraint is regulatory drone rules. Where the human comes in: assets teams review and approve before any action affects a person, a payment or a case; the AI flags, ranks and drafts. It is scaled at leading organisations and piloted elsewhere; examples include Vegetation management programmes.
