Thermal Anomaly Patrol for Substation Facilities

Substation patrol is a fixed-route task with a fixed asset list, which makes it one of the most automatable inspection workflows — and one of the most sensitive to route discipline.

Overview

  • Route and camera positions are tied to specific assets, so a route change invalidates the historical comparison.
  • Energised equipment rules constrain the flight path more than the aircraft's capability does.
  • Thermal and visible imagery are captured together so a flagged item arrives with its visual context.
  • The exception report is generated per patrol, not per image — that is what the operations team actually reads.
