Hepta Airborne, a leading provider of AI-driven analysis and automated drone inspection technologies, has announced that they are making their world-class drone-based AI system for power inspection available in the Intertrust CleanGrid toolkit. Using Hepta’s advanced AI system, grid operators can inspect power lines with drones and receive actionable intelligence via Hepta’s decision making system. Intertrust CleanGrid is a toolkit for grid operators planning and managing modern grid systems that provides data rights management and security capabilities, a modular architecture for authenticated third party AI apps accessible via a map-based user interface.
“Inspecting and analyzing power lines is one of the most mission critical roles in a utility; it is also one of the most expensive and risk prone activities grid operators grapple with,” said Henri Klemmer, Hepta Airborne’s chief executive officer. “We provide actionable data and analyses to operators, reducing cost and improving safety. The decisions we enable go far beyond operational efficiencies, and keep grids operating safely in the face of climate change and other operational risks.”
“Maintaining and upgrading aging power lines is an important and phenomenally expensive and risky process,” said Florian Kolb, Intertrust’s Chief Commercial Officer and General Manager Energy. “This is especially important in a world that is ever more dependent on electricity in the face of climate change, forest fires and other natural disasters – Hepta’s system is a killer app for managing grid lines and we are delighted to partner with them.”
