Airborne Full-Coverage Inspection
Drone docks and mobile aircraft cover mountains, rivers, substations, and other difficult areas, reducing dependence on manual climbing and on-site patrols.
Power Inspection Solution
An integrated drone-and-dock inspection solution for transmission lines, substations, and distribution networks, reducing manual risk while improving inspection frequency and quality.
Solution Overview
The solution combines autonomous drone docks, AI recognition, hazard alerts, digital-twin control, and inspection workflows to help power operators improve safety, efficiency, and traceability across core grid assets.
Key Advantages
High-Frequency Intelligent Patrols
Automated route execution, dock charging, and scheduled patrols enable regular inspections in key areas and during special weather or high-load periods.
Precise AI Recognition
Visible-light, infrared, and LiDAR data are analyzed by AI to identify line defects, overheating, foreign objects, vegetation intrusion, and other risks.
Digital-Twin Closed Loop
Inspection results are synchronized to the command platform, creating a traceable workflow from discovery and dispatch to verification and review.
Core Capabilities
Unmanned Substation Inspection
UNMANNED INSPECTION OF SUBSTATIONS
Designed for key substation assets such as main transformers, circuit breakers, disconnectors, surge arresters, and instrument transformers, the solution supports automated execution of preset routes and inspection points. Drones equipped with visible-light and infrared thermal payloads complete autonomous takeoff, hover capture, temperature collection, return, and charging, while transmitting defect images and thermal data to the O&M platform in real time. Supported by an intelligent dock network, the system performs scheduled inspections by cycle, time window, and strategy. AI algorithms identify risks such as insulator contamination, bushing cracks, and overheated joints, generate defect reports, and push work orders to improve the precision and intelligence of substation asset health management.
Transmission and Distribution Line Inspection
INSPECTION OF TRANSMISSION AND DISTRIBUTION LINES
For overhead transmission and distribution lines, drones fly autonomously along line corridors to collect high-definition images of conductors, insulators, fittings, towers, and other critical components. Combined with LiDAR point-cloud data, the system analyzes foreign objects, vegetation intrusion, and spatial clearance. Defects such as cracked clamps, broken strands, and missing insulation are automatically located and converted into warning work orders. By integrating multispectral sensors with professional vision algorithms, the platform identifies common issues including damaged insulators, conductor strand breaks, corroded fittings, over-height trees, and external-force risks, generating inspection reports with defect type, severity, GPS location, and field imagery for preventive, digital line maintenance.
System Architecture and Data Closed Loop
SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE AND DATA CLOSED LOOP
The system adopts a four-layer architecture covering terminals, network, platform, and applications. Drone docks, aircraft, and intelligent onboard devices are connected to a unified platform for mission orchestration, route planning, AI recognition, and data traceability. Intelligent drones and docks support autonomous takeoff and landing, automatic battery replacement, and all-weather operations. The dispatch layer enables multi-drone collaboration through 4G/5G private networks, while the platform layer manages scheduling, route planning, AI analysis, and data governance. The application layer integrates with power production systems and digital-twin platforms to automate defect work-order circulation, asset-health trend analysis, and O&M decision support.
