6 6 CHALLENGE: STANDARDS + KNOWLEDGE NO standardized inspection template where that data is stored is INDIVIDUALIZED each inspector uses their OWN JUDGEMENT WHAT HAPPENS to all that tacit knowledge?

7 7 UAVs IMPROVE WORKER SAFETY Perform routine inspections Keep boots on the ground Survey dangers/hazards for storm response workers

8 8 inspect your grid with drones and keep workers ON THE GROUND Limits EXPOSURE TO Slips & falls at heights Dangerous terrain Helicopters for fast grid inspections at low altitudes Increase MAD (minimum approach distance) by eliminating need to climb poles

9 9 UAVs IMPROVE OPERATIONAL EFFICIENCY A Bird s Eye View of vegetation encroachment on the right-of-way Mission Planning bring the right tools & equipment to the job every time Faster and less costly as compared to walking inspection crews More Detailed as compared to helicopter inspections Easy to Operate and moving toward greater autonomy

10 10 Build reliable, repeatable data Create your own grid baseline to map your physical grid to a database management system Store video and images to specific structure tags and create year over year database comparisons Recall & Search imagery within your grid from anyone without worrying about tacit knowledge loss
