Optimizing pole maintenance with AI: Reducing truck rolls
Rolling a truck for utility maintenance costs an average of $5,000 per deployment, but drone automation could reduce these costs by up to 90%. Traditional truck-based inspections are expensive, time-consuming, and labour-intensive. Drones with advanced sensors and imaging capabilities provide a faster, safer, and more cost-effective alternative, enabling real-time data collection and improved predictive maintenance. As drone technology and regulatory frameworks advance, their role in utility operations will continue to expand, driving efficiency and reliability in the industry.
