When substantial shifts in electricity demand occur, the operational capacity of the electrical grid is tested.In response, utilities are strengthening their field maintenance measures. Beyond quickly responding to reports of downtime, they’re increasing proactive asset inspections to catch anomalies before they become issues.PrecisionHawk is part of this nationwide effort. PrecisionHawk’s drone operators are in the field today, performing transmission, distribution, and substation asset inspections. Unprecedented conditions have put their rigorous safety training to the test. And we’re daily tackling unique challenges as we ensure their well-being while they work to help utilities keep the lights on for America’s essential services.

PrecisionHawk’s drone operators—including thousands of in-network pilots across the country—fly hardware that is purpose-built for accurate data collection in rugged terrain, wet environments, and high-wind conditions. A typical sensor payload—the data collection hardware equipped to a drone—can include leading optical, infrared, and even LiDAR sensors. This platform technology yields precise, high-quality data that’s ready for analysis. Utility engineers can conduct this analysis on their existing information systems. Alternatively, some are using PrecisionAnalytics, our cloud-based platform where teams can view, analyze, and report on the health of their asset network. Today, they’re using insights from drone-based GIS data to decide how to allocate resources to high-priority repairs or plan maintenance. Our flight teams follow standard procedures which dictate that critical anomalies, such as broken or missing hardware or overheating transformers, be reported immediately from the field.

I think SW mentioned at one point this could be a $1m ACV partner - doesn't seem that outrageous reading that article
