Stay One Step Ahead on Asset Management
Plan, Don’t React
The world moves fast, and utilities are too often put on the back foot when it comes to asset management. For utilities tasked with keeping the lights on, every component counts, and every defect is a danger. Proactive asset management guarantees you stay one step in front of the problem – the future is proactive and preventative asset management.
Sharper Shape’s Living Digital Twin, enriched by state-of-the-art LiDAR, RGB HD and IR sensor imagery, lets you scrutinize every bolt of every asset. Our Sharper CORE AI algorithms help you to predict and prevent failures and produce a fully prioritized asset management plan. Operational excellence has never been so attainable.
Asset Insights
An automated review of a utility’s asset infrastructure, is designed to enhance the inspection process significantly. This comprehensive analysis aims to achieve two primary objectives: reducing risk and increasing efficiency. By leveraging advanced technologies such as AI, machine learning, and data analytics, the review systematically assesses the identification and condition of the utility’s assets.
Automated Component Identification
With Sharper CORE we can create a representation of an electric utility pole utilizing AI and Machine Learning to automatically identify more than 25 components.
Component Types & Counts: AI detection will provide a list and the number of components from the images ingested in CORE.
Georeferenced Database: Assets are defined by their location using map coordinates. This creates up-to-date maps and precise locations of assets.
Streamlined Workflows: Get more work done in less time.
Dashboard & Analytics: used across the entire organization from lineman to executives and fully customized by project to include the data that each role is interested in.
Automated Defect Detection
After the images of the assets are uploaded to Sharper CORE, you can inspect the results and view the components that the AI has identified as defective
Prioritize Inspection: View all the defective components and prioritize based on the severity of the defects.
Reduce Risk & Increase Safety: Inspect more assets in a shorter amount of time while also reducing the risk of safety to the community and team members.
Increase the Quality of Inspections: Enabling human in the loop allows for quality assurance checks resulting in accurate results.
Hone & Train Your Own Model: A custom model is creating using your data and is specific to your network. Train this model to meet your specific inspection needs.
