Inventory Analysis

Use drones to accurately identify equipment and components for improved inventory data.

As technology continues to advance, the electric utility and telecom industries are turning to innovative solutions to streamline their inventory analysis processes. One such groundbreaking combination is the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) with drone technology.

AI-powered algorithms combined with drone imagery offer remarkable capabilities for identifying and categorizing components on power poles or cell towers. The Mile High Drones inspection platforms can accurately recognize and label individual components. This includes items like transformers, insulators, antennas, transmitters, cables, and more. The ability to automatically identify and classify these components saves time, eliminates human error, and facilitates efficient inventory management.

By analyzing drone-captured images, the AI can identify issues such as rust, corrosion, loose fittings, or structural damage. Prompt detection of such problems allows for timely repairs or replacements, ensuring the safety, reliability, and longevity of the infrastructure. Using drones for this kind of inspection significantly enhances maintenance planning and reduces the risk of catastrophic failures, leading to improved operational efficiency.

The Benefits

Damage Assessment
Routine surveying is highly encouraged in areas like Colorado. With drones, it’s much easier, faster and more affordable. ​
Improved Safety
Our aerial inspections pinpoint issues reducing the risk associated with manual inspections of compliant poles and towers.
Efficiency & Speed
Aerial inspections increase the turn-around time of traditional methods that are encumbered by terrain, deployment costs, and limited perspectives.
Location Accuracy
GPS enabled drones provide vital updates for asset locations that have incorrect or outdated GIS data.

Sample Deliverables

The end deliverable for most projects is a consolidated report with summarized findings and recommendations.

Pole Top Analysis
A modified version of the full Inventory Analysis services to help categorize the types of poles that are in the field based on the top-level pole classification spec sheet.
Pole Load Analysis
This includes building a structural model of the pole, measuring the clearance, and performing a detailed analysis to determine strength utilization and compliance with NESC safety requirements.
Joint Use Analysis
It involves evaluating the attachments on the pole, determining their positioning, and ensuring that each party's equipment is installed correctly without compromising the structural integrity of the pole or causing potential hazards.
