Case Study: Pacific Power achieves resilient UAV imagery disaster response with Effectual AWS infrastructure

Pacific Power lowers cloud costs and scales UAV imagery alerts with Effectual

Effectual assisted Pacific Power, a utility company, with a critical challenge: migrating its on-premises infrastructure for processing UAV imagery to a highly available and fault-tolerant AWS Cloud environment. The customer required a solution to automate workflows for monitoring, security, and disaster response alerts in high-risk fire areas.

The solution from Effectual involved architecting a technical AWS infrastructure and providing managed services. This included implementing serverless workflows with Amazon CloudWatch and Lambda to trigger drone deployments for inspecting electrical towers. The results were a more resilient system, significant cost optimization through cloud purchasing options, and scalable EC2 instances to handle traffic demands.
