INNO GRID
Drone and AI-enabled solutions for modern power transmission — from route survey and tower spotting through stringing support, inspection and asset health monitoring.
Fewer shutdowns. Fewer climbs. Better line data.

Overview
Transmission work, seen from the air.
Transmission corridors run through terrain that is slow to walk, expensive to shut down and risky to climb. INNO GRID moves the survey and inspection load onto aerial systems.
A corridor that takes weeks to walk can be flown, modelled and reviewed in a fraction of the time — with a permanent record that the next team inherits.
Construction phase
Route selection, profile plotting, tower spotting and stringing support.
Operations phase
Visual and thermal inspection, vegetation encroachment and defect logging.
AI-assisted review
Automated defect flagging across large image sets, prioritised for inspection teams.
Safer methods
Fewer live-line climbs, fewer outages and less exposure in difficult terrain.
Capabilities
Across the full line lifecycle.
INNO GRID supports transmission projects from the first route study through years of operational inspection.
Tower spotting & profiling
Ground profile plotting, tower location optimisation and clearance checks against design criteria.
Stringing support
Drone-assisted pilot-wire stringing across rivers, forests, highways and built-up crossings.
Visual line inspection
High-resolution imaging of conductors, insulators, fittings, earth wires and tower members.
Thermal inspection
Hotspot detection on joints, clamps, jumpers and substation equipment under load.
Vegetation management
Encroachment mapping and clearance violations identified from classified point-cloud data.
AI-assisted inspection
Thousands of images, ranked by risk.
Automated screening puts the frames that matter in front of the engineer first.

How an inspection cycle runs
Capture, screen, verify, report.
01
Planned aerial capture
Automated flight plans over the corridor with consistent standoff and overlap, tower by tower.
02
Automated screening
Image analysis flags candidate defects — corrosion, damaged fittings, thermal anomalies, missing components.
03
Engineer verification
Flagged findings reviewed and classified by severity, with the source frame and location attached.
04
Actionable report
Defect register tied to tower numbers and coordinates, ready for maintenance planning.
Why it matters
Outcomes utilities care about.
The value is not the drone. It is the shutdown you did not need, the fault you caught early and the survey that arrived on schedule.
Talk to our transmission team- Faster corridor survey across terrain that is slow or unsafe to walk
- Reduced need for line outages and live-line climbing during inspection
- Consistent, repeatable image records for every tower, cycle after cycle
- Early detection of thermal and mechanical defects before they escalate
- Vegetation clearance violations mapped rather than estimated
- Inspection findings delivered as structured data, not loose photographs
