Enhance Safety & Efficiency with Automated utility Pole Inspection

Key Highlights

  • OptiSol developed a low-code/no-code platform to automate utility pole inspections. The solution enhanced efficiency and accuracy while reducing manual labor.
  • This project addressed health and safety risks, high labor costs, and inconsistent inspection results from manual methods.
  • We automated inspections using vision intelligence, enabling precise image analysis and consistent results. This reduced manual effort and improved coverage.
  • The solution increased efficiency and safety, reduced costs, and provided valuable data insights for better decision-making.

Problem Statement

01

Health and safety risks: Climbing and inspecting utility poles poses significant dangers, including the risk of falls, electrical hazards, and physical strain to workers.

02

Time-consuming and costly: Manual inspections are labor-intensive, leading to long inspection times, high labor costs, and maintenance expenses due to frequent equipment wear and damage.

03

Inconsistent inspections: Manual methods often result in inaccurate inspection results and limit coverage to easily accessible areas, leaving remote or hard-to-reach poles unchecked.

Solution Overview

01

OptiSol created a low-code/no-code platform for a US-based company, automating the machine learning process from data annotation to model deployment, significantly reducing manual labor.

02

Due to increasing user traffic, our team transformed the platform from a low-code/no-code solution to a robust Python library, enhancing scalability and performance.

03

The platform uses vision intelligence for precise inspections, allowing users to upload images, tag components, and train segmentation algorithms for precise and consistent inspections.

04

By automating the inspection process, the platform generates accurate measurements and audit reports, ensuring reliable and comprehensive inspections across both easily accessible and remote areas.

05

The platform provides a simple web-based interface that allows inspection teams to monitor utility poles across both easily accessible and remote areas, ensuring complete coverage.

Business Impact

About The Project

The project is about implementing a low-code/no-code platform developed by OptiSol for a Denver-based company to automate utility pole inspections, addressing key health and safety issues. By employing vision intelligence, the platform enables accurate and consistent inspections through image uploads, tagging, and algorithm training. This automation boosts workforce efficiency, reduces manual labor, and generates precise measurements and reports. The web-based interface ensures comprehensive coverage of both accessible and remote poles. The solution leads to faster inspections, improved worker safety, significant cost reductions, and enhanced data insights for informed decision-making.
