Intelligent Line Inspection

Designed to identify corrosion and strand ruptures in transmission lines before they cause failures, the SDC is equipped with cameras and a sophisticated system of locomotion, lifting, and advanced data interpretation software. Additionally, it operates non-intrusively without the need for line shutdown. Its advantages include controllable displacement, long-lasting battery, capability for analyzing both phase cables and lightning arresters, and options for scheduled, temporary, or manually controlled inspections that can be remotely managed. Moreover, it offers intelligent analysis and event prediction, generating detailed reports integrated with other connected systems, while detecting corrosion and failures in insulating chains. The robot stores images locally and performs constant self-checks of its systems and functionalities. The SDC is an essential tool for identifying abnormal conditions and issues, allowing for the anticipation of failures and proactive maintenance of transmission lines, thereby increasing efficiency and reducing the costs associated with maintenance and system downtime
