Noteworthy AI provides a real-time, AI-powered asset inspection & inventory solution for the distribution grid.
---
Threats from extreme weather and the increased adoption of distributed energy resources (DERs) require that electric utilities get smart about proactively mitigating risk on the distribution grid. These mitigations generally entail inspection and inventory of grid assets, but current methods are ill-suited for the task, requiring dedicated vehicles and crews - a process that is entirely manual, extremely costly and too slow.
Our solution, Inspector, reduces the need for dedicated distribution asset inspections and mitigates risk at-scale while reducing cost. Inspector is a fully integrated hardware and software solution that mounts on existing fleet vehicles and uses computer vision to automatically identify pole-top components and defects whenever those vehicles are in motion, for any reason and with no impact on crew duties. Results are sent to the cloud for real-time alerting and review.
Simply put, Inspector enables electric utilities to reap the reliability, resiliency and safety benefits of at-scale inspection and inventory - on the distribution grid.
