ELECTRICITY

Ninox Robotics’ long-range drones are more cost-effective than their manned-aviation counterparts, easily kept on standby and rapidly deployed in larger numbers, and safely operated remotely. The core data types that they provide are:

ENERGY NETWORK INSPECTIONS

Inspecting energy networks has never been easier and safer with the use of drones. Our aerial vehicles can access hard-to-reach locations and provide a detailed overview of the network infrastructure, enabling prompt identification and resolution of potential issues.

SURVEYING AND MAPPING

Survey and map large areas of land for energy resources, such as wind and solar sites. In addition, we can collect data on terrain and infrastructure, allowing energy companies to make informed decisions about future projects.

EXAMPLE DATA

Electricity Infrastructure Assessments

  • Cover large areas quickly, reducing the time and cost associated with manual inspections.

  • Capture detailed images and data that may be difficult to obtain with traditional inspection methods.

  • Improve safety by eliminating the need for human inspectors to climb poles or work at heights, reducing the risk of accidents and injuries.

  • Identify potential problems in power lines and other infrastructure before they become serious issues, allowing for timely repairs and maintenance.

Photogrammetry

  • Capture high-resolution data and images of physical objects and environments, allowing for more accurate and detailed digital twins.

  • Obtain new insights into the condition of the infrastructure, allowing for better decision-making and maintenance.
