Intelligence on machines that act
Sector
Autonomous inspection, grid robotics and AI operations across power networks, renewables, oil and gas and water infrastructure.
EASA's long-awaited framework lets approved operators fly beyond visual line of sight across member states under a single authorisation — a step-change for grid, rail and pipeline inspection.
Robotic systems that service energised high-voltage lines promise to cut outage windows — and keep lineworkers out of the most dangerous job in the grid.
Resident underwater vehicles that live on the seabed are replacing dive crews and survey ships across offshore wind farms — and the operating model is spreading to oil, gas and telecoms.
Fleet operators are moving from scheduled servicing to condition-based maintenance. Vertex Dynamics explains the data pipeline behind its 40% downtime reduction.
