Autonomous Drone System

Installation of sensors on energized power lines shouldn't be expensive, time consuming, dangerous or complicated! That's why we developed our unique autonomous drone installation system.

Autonomous flight-mode

We created our drone installation process to be fully autonomous. This measure massively reduces the risk of any power line interference during the installation, while ensuring fast, safe and reliable process, over and over again. 

No outage needed

We know how costly and difficult it can be to switch of critical power lines, even for a very short period of time. That’s why we made our drone system ready to do installations on live lines with both voltage and current. 

Plug & play

Do you think it sounds complicated with all this drone stuff? Don’t worry! All you really need to do is  tell us where you want the installation to be done, we’ll bring the drone and NeuronsTM and take care of the rest.
