Computer vision provides comprehensive oversight of your energy facilities and management practices to streamline operations, enhance safety, and reduce unnecessary waste. Computer vision enables existing cameras to quickly identify and interpret objects in the physical world allowing you to monitor operations with real-time data tailored to your specific needs. We are an end-to-end solution that addresses your most difficult challenges.
Energy Use Cases
Wind Turbine Farm Monitoring
Problem
Wind turbines, one of the world’s fastest-growing renewable energy sources, are exposed to the elements that can accelerate normal wear and tear. Regular maintenance and inspection of these massive structures is essential, costly, and dangerous.
Solution
Automate wind turbine monitoring in real-time with unparalleled accuracy to minimize downtime by catching issues as they arise. Get immediate alerts to avoid slowdowns and increase ROI.
Solar Farm Monitoring
Problem
Solar farms are another source of renewable energy experiencing massive growth. Manually monitoring solar farms is time-consuming and can be difficult due to remote locations, weather, terrain, or vegetation growth.
Solution
Dramatically reduce solar farm inspection time with 24-hour visual data. Get immediate alerts about defects or anomalies for efficient maintenance and reduced downtime.
Analog Controls Recognition
Problem
Analog controls that monitor energy consumption and processes require manual oversight which is tedious, time-consuming, and prone to human error.
Solution
Automate analog control tracking in real-time with vision AI. Monitor pressure gauges, temperature dials, warning light colors, and other analog controls to improve efficiency and accuracy, and to prevent potential hazards.
Automated Intrusion Detection
Problem
Large power plants are difficult to monitor at all times. With hazardous areas, materials, and sensitive equipment, ensuring these areas are safe and secure is paramount.
Solution
Get real-time visual data and alerts about after-hours movement and unauthorized activity around the perimeter of your facility with automated intrusion detection.
