Grid-based inspection
Regionalized independent inspections; on mountainous transmission lines, manual inspections cover only 3–5 kilometers per person per day, with inspection cycles lasting as long as a quarter or even half a year.
The grid coordinates and deploys drone nests and operator resources, enabling cross‑sectional and cross‑voltage‑level shared scheduling; it supports integrated, coordinated inspection across transmission, substation, and distribution networks.
Labor and hardware costs have been significantly reduced, and equipment utilization has improved markedly; the average fault resolution time has been cut from 6 hours to 2.5 hours, with inspection efficiency increasing by more than 60%.
Complex Scene Inspection
Power grids often traverse complex terrains such as mountainous regions, canyons, and waterways, making manual foot‑based access extremely challenging. In high‑voltage live‑line areas, climbing tall transmission towers entails exceptionally high safety risks, with the power industry recording over 2,000 high‑altitude work accidents annually.
Intelligent autonomous flight, adaptable to complex terrains such as mountainous areas, forested regions, and river crossings; non-contact remote inspection, eliminating the need for personnel to enter high-voltage energized zones.
Completely resolve the inspection challenges of “inaccessible, unclimbable, and unsafe to approach,” fundamentally mitigating occupational safety risks such as falls from height and electric shock.
Full-area inspection
Substation equipment is densely packed, leaving numerous inspection blind spots on mid- and high‑level structures, atop equipment, and behind piping. Manual inspections suffer a missed‑defect rate of 15%–30%, with as many as one defect potentially going undetected every three towers.
Equipped with a multi-sensor fusion system integrating visible light, infrared thermal imaging, and LiDAR, and leveraging AI‑based collision‑avoidance technology, it achieves comprehensive three‑dimensional coverage across high, medium, and low altitudes. AI‑powered intelligent recognition detects typical defects such as insulator damage, conductor strand breaks, and hardware corrosion.
The comprehensive inspection coverage rate exceeds 95%, with a defect detection accuracy of over 90%, effectively eliminating blind spots and issues of missed detections and misjudgments in manual inspections.
Data Security
Inspection data is primarily recorded on paper or stored locally on standalone devices, leaving it isolated at the network edge—prone to loss and leakage—and unable to integrate with operations and maintenance systems, resulting in data silos.
Supports grid‑industry‑certified cryptographic modules, enabling encrypted transmission of inspection data and cloud‑based storage; provides end‑to‑end access control, with data that is traceable and auditable.
The security and confidentiality rate of power grid geographic information and equipment data reaches 99.9%, ensuring the protection of core data for power infrastructure and meeting Level‑2 Information Security Protection compliance requirements.
