Detection Intelligence

Six Failure Modes.
One Aerial Platform.

Every flight captures thermal, visual, and LiDAR data simultaneously. AI-assisted analysis identifies and severity-ranks these critical failure modes before they cause outages.

Vegetation Encroachment

high

LiDAR-measured clearance violations along rights-of-way. Sub-meter accuracy identifies encroachment before contact events.

Insulator Damage

critical

Cracked, chipped, or contaminated insulators detected via high-resolution visual and thermal contrast analysis.

Hot Joints & Connections

critical

Thermal anomalies at splice points, connectors, and bolted joints. Temperature differentials flagged at 10 degrees C above ambient.

Conductor Sag

medium

LiDAR-derived sag measurements compared against design clearances. Identifies overloaded spans and thermal elongation.

Corrosion & Wear

medium

Surface degradation on towers, hardware, and conductors. AI-assisted detection of rust patterns and material loss.

Lightning & Storm Damage

high

Post-event rapid assessment of arc marks, shattered insulators, bent crossarms, and conductor displacement.

Coverage Intelligence

From Reactive Maintenance
to Predictive Intelligence

Before Jinki

6-Month Inspection Cycles

Manual crews on foot or in helicopters. Months between inspections leave assets unmonitored.

High Per-Tower Costs

Helicopter time, crew mobilization, traffic management, and equipment shutdowns make traditional inspection expensive.

Reactive Failures

Defects found only after outages occur. Emergency repairs cost 4 to 8 times more than planned maintenance.

Paper-Based Reports

Handwritten notes, inconsistent grading, and weeks of delay before findings reach maintenance teams.

With Jinki

340+ Miles Per Day

Automated flight paths cover entire corridors in hours. Monthly monitoring becomes standard.

Fraction of Legacy Costs

No helicopters, no road crews, no shutdowns. Aerial intelligence replaces expensive manual methods.

Predictive Detection

Thermal and LiDAR intelligence identifies failing components months before outage events.

Digital Work Orders

Severity-ranked findings with GPS coordinates, photos, thermal data, and cost estimates — delivered within 48 hours.

Technology

Three Sensor Modalities.
One Integrated Platform.

The DJI M400 RTK carries all three payloads simultaneously. Every flight captures thermal, visual, and LiDAR data — no second passes, no data gaps.
