Autonomous Power Grid Inspection Robot
Featured Product from Advantech
Our customer stands as a prominent company in China, spearheading the development and implementation of intelligent inspection solutions for electrical equipment. Committed to aiding power plants and electrical substations, their mission is to address challenges such as diminishing manual inspection requirements, lowering maintenance costs, and mitigating the risk of safety incidents through AI technology and video analysis. By integrating cutting-edge technologies like drones, cameras, and autonomous robots, they have effectively and extensively incorporated AI solutions into diverse facets of power equipment operations such as transmission line maintenance, defect inspection, security monitoring, and distribution maintenance.
Inspection robots play a crucial role in processing a vast number of images and translating diverse sets of values from electricity meters into real-time digital data for subsequent analysis or warnings. Consequently, the computing hardware dedicated to this task demands a high level of AI computing power. Moreover, the power plant's remote location poses challenges for repairing or maintaining damaged robots, adding an extra layer of complexity to the operational demands. As a result, a consistent supply and long-term support are very important. Lastly, developing different software and SDKs around Ubuntu and deploying them to hardware is challenging. Consequently, customers require high levels of technical support for both software and hardware integration.
