Transmission and Distribution inspections are crucial for preventing power losses and line failures. Automated drone flights can perform daily inspections of transmission lines, allowing for early identification of defects
Advanced powerline inspection solutions using thermal cameras and automated drone flights to detect abnormal high temperatures in equipment such as wire clamps and knife switches, enabling timely fault detection and prevention of system failures.
Extend operating range, frequency, and efficiency with long-distance and automated drone inspections, addressing traditional inspection methods that are costly and time-consuming due to the distance of transmission lines.
Enhance inspection quality with close-range, accurate, and repeatable data capture processes, solving the complexity of infrastructure with numerous inspection points that result in high manual inspection workload and quality consistency difficulties.
Easily store and manage drone imagery and digital models to monitor changes and prevent failures, replacing difficult-to-maintain manual inspection records that cannot be easily digitized, archived, or traced.
Ensure personnel safety while maintaining high inspection quality using aerial visual and thermal imagery of critical components, addressing environmental factors that can render areas inaccessible or hazardous for inspection personnel.
Conduct comprehensive transmission line inspections with thermal imaging to detect equipment failures and prevent system outages.
Early identification of defects in wire clamps, knife switches, and other critical transmission equipment using thermal analysis.
Perform detailed distribution network inspections for temperature monitoring and equipment condition assessment.
Comprehensive drone-based solutions designed for inspection operations.
The DJI Matrice 30 Series delivers portable yet powerful performance, capable of handling challenging conditions. This solution enables inspection professionals to capture high-quality visual and thermal (M30T) images for precise defect identification. Plan inspection tasks using the DJI Pilot 2 app's waypoint flight mission feature, allowing for repeatable missions that increase efficiency.
Plan inspection route by using Waypoint Mission or fly manually while using the Live Mission Recording feature for future replicable missions with precise route planning.
Upon arrival at the takeoff point, quickly deploy the drone and initiate the previously saved inspection route. The drone will automatically follow the flight route for consistent data capture.
Analyze the inspection photos manually to identify and locate any defects. Integrate inspection data with existing asset management systems for further analysis, trend tracking, and maintenance planning.
Generate comprehensive inspection reports that include visual and thermal imagery, defect identification, and recommendations for corrective actions.
The DJI Matrice 350 RTK is a reliable platform with interchangeable payloads to meet specific task requirements. From mapping to inspection, the Matrice 350 RTK offers comprehensive operational capabilities for inspection teams.
Use the Matrice 350 RTK equipped with the Zenmuse L2 and fly directly over powerline using the Powerline Follow feature. The Zenmuse L2 sensor can detect and identify power lines even in complex environments with vegetation or other obstacles.
Import the data into DJI Terra to generate the LiDAR point cloud and plan the transmission corridor inspection route with autonomous flight path planning along the power line.
Import the route task into the Matrice 350 RTK and issue the inspection command with a single click for automated inspection execution.
Analyze the inspection photos manually or use model detection to identify defects in the transmission corridor with advanced analytics capabilities.
The compact and portable DJI Mavic 3T, equipped with high-performance visible light and thermal imaging cameras, is ideal for comprehensive temperature inspections of distribution network equipment.
Plan inspection route by using Waypoint Mission or fly manually while using the Live Mission Recording feature for future replicable missions.
Upon arrival at the takeoff point, quickly deploy the drone and initiate the previously saved inspection route. The drone will automatically follow the flight route.

DJI Dock 2 (including the DJI Matrice 3D Series) integrates with DJI FlightHub 2 to enable remote, repeatable inspections, enhancing efficiency and ensuring personnel safety. Schedule automated visual or thermal inspections, and ensure inspection quality with live streams via DJI FlightHub 2.
Use DJI FlightHub 2 or preferred third-party software to plan inspection routes based on high-definition models of transmission lines and towers, or import previously saved inspection flight routes.
Using DJI FlightHub 2 select the preferred dock and scheduled inspection mission. The DJI Matrice 3D series drones execute inspection tasks as planned, and the captured results are automatically uploaded to the DJI FlightHub 2 cloud platform.
Analyze the inspection photos manually or export to a third-party model detection software to identify defects or deterioration on the components.
Maintain continuous monitoring through automated scheduling with centralized data management and real-time alert systems for critical defect detection.
