Webinar: UAS Use in the Utility Space
Date & Time: Wednesday, January 8, 2025, 3:00-4:00 p.m. ET
Webinar Description/Abstract:
Utility companies continue to focus efforts on proactively inspecting and maintaining utility assets to combat the tens of billions of dollars spent each year on repairs and outages. Unmanned Aircraft Solutions (UAS) are revolutionizing these efforts by offering advanced solutions for various types of inspection, detection, assessment, and monitoring. We’ll dive into how drones are used for advanced inspections, from detecting thermal anomalies and inspecting power lines to monitoring vegetation encroachment and site monitoring. We’ll also explore how AI is bringing further autonomy to this space.
