Noteworthy provides fleet vehicle-mounted smart cameras + AI that help utilities evaluate the condition of the electric distribution grid at-scale while reducing O&M costs. --- There are billions of utility poles globally and they are notoriously difficult to manage. Its extremely challenging for utilities to know exactly where these assets are, what’s on them and what condition they are in. Why? Because collecting and analyzing the data necessary to answer these questions is currently a slow, manual and costly process - often done by sending out dedicated crews and trucks with binoculars, cameras and paper forms. This process is expensive, difficult to scale, and it doesn’t adequately mitigate risks related to grid reliability, resiliency and safety. Noteworthys fleet vehicle-mounted smart cameras + AI help utilities collect and analyze data on distribution assets at-scale while reducing O&M costs. By operating fully autonomously during routine vehicle operations, Noteworthy can increase situational awareness and realize cost savings and efficiencies across a variety of use cases including geolocation and asset inventory, asset inspection, vegetation management, joint use / attachment compliance and unregulated lighting assessments.
