Sharper Shape  

Inspection of Assets : • Customer specific issue classification • Poles, components, conductors • Safety distance analysis • Pole Lean and Line Sag: • Customized parameters to measure leaning and broken structures. • Digitized pole leans and Line sags are automatically measured and flagged. • Easily exported or highlighted in Sharper CORE.

Urgent Asset Detections: • Quick detection and reporting post inspection flights

Preventive Maintenance: • AI supported detection of network component issues • Enables attributed component issues for efficient network maintenance planning • Provide input for future asset construction & replacement

Linecrew APP: • Simplifies asset inspection by enabling inspectors to create assessment orders, map layers and filters, annotating and reporting, issue criticality identification, and QA of work

Sharper CORE Human in the Loop: • Force multiplier for inspectors • Confirming inference results – Inspections from AI • Providing a source for retraining

Automated Vegetation Encroachment Analysis: accurate 3D modeling of phase-wires and automated detection of vegetation issues 

Detection of issue types: such as fall-in tree, urgent issues close to phase-wires, overhang branching issues 

Tree Risk Assessment: Location and number of trees at risk of striking primary conductors, wires or poles, including trees on slopes 

Species Detection: using hyperspectral sensor 

Customizable Remote ROW Inspections: ability to manually measure distances in 3D 

Clearance violations • Pole identification • Vegetation safety distance • Winter snowfall risk • Wind scenarios • Pole loading • Thermal expansion of utility lines

• One software suite to manage all needed tools in one space!

• Control access to relevant projects to relevant workers.

• Effortlessly distribute work to drone teams

• Quickly upload georeferenced images from drones and other systems, and reference them to assets

• Seamless flow that handles massive amounts of data - images, point clouds and issues

• Easily add asset and flight orders - then assign them to drone operator, track flight order progress, and see uploaded material on Sharper CORE.

• Track hours and other basic drone flight tracking/fleet management.

• Share results with an end customer (e.g. utility provider) for viewing and use (e.g. inspection or maintenance workflow).

Helicopter mounted hardware solution, one flight multiple data types.

Proprietary Software and Hardware Engineered specifically for aerial inspection of electric transmission & distribution systems

One Flight Collects Multiple Types of Data

• LiDAR – highly accurate 3D spatial data using Riegl VUX 240 Lidar scanner

• RGB images - component damage inspection using 100 Megapixel Phase One RGB cameras

• Hyperspectral Images (HSI) – vegetation analysis using Dual Hyperspectral Imagers

•Infrared Images - optional addition Network Documentation & Quality Assurance

• Asset locations - precise GPS location data

• Asset type identification and inventory

•Integrated iOS CORE application - easily receive and carry out orders

• Seamless Data Transfer - upload to Sharper CORE software

• Data Backup: Ability to work offline, collected data uploaded once connectivity is restored.

Our Mobile LiDAR suite contains advanced sensors for electric utility line inspections. The sensors are fully integrated and can capture all the data in one pass.

LiDAR processing is automated to the highest degree. It is based on proprietary advanced AI algorithms, is streamlined with quality assurance made by human experts, and is the only solution that is scalable and applicable for large-scale road-accessible applications.

Our mobile LiDAR collection system reduces inspection time by reducing costs by 70%-80% from traditional ground-based inspection methods.

A competent attentive driver is all that is required, no certifications are needed.

Our analysis software will automatically identify encroachment, overhang, and strike tree issues with an ultra-fast and reliable turnaround time.

Data can be visualized and integrated within the Sharper Shape's Cloud Optimized Remote Evaluation (CORE) software, or it can also be exported to customers or 3rd party operating or workflow systems.
