Case Study: a large electric utility achieves 70% faster remediation with Optelos vision AI inspection software

Large Electric Utility - Customer Case Study

A large electric utility in South America, one of the country's largest and fastest-growing power companies, faced the challenge of manually inspecting its vast network of over 1,500 km of transmission lines. The utility partnered with Optelos to implement its geospatial data management platform and vision AI inspection software to automate fault detection, a dangerous and time-consuming manual process.

The solution involved using Optelos to manage drone imagery, train an AI engine, and automatically detect and prioritize defects. Optelos was integrated with the utility's ticketing system to generate work orders automatically. This resulted in the evaluation of over 675,000 images and led to a 70% reduction in remediation time and a 3X increase in inspection capacity using the same resources.
