Find the faults before the crews roll.

After a storm, restoring power starts with finding the faults. ORCA patrols every tripped feeder at once, flags trees on lines, damaged poles and conductors down, and gives the control room a dispatch list ordered by the customers each fault affects.

Storm patrol demo. 1. Load what tripped: Pull the tripped feeders from your outage system. ORCA sets a patrol for each. 2. Patrol at once: Every feeder is flown at the same time. If the link drops behind a ridge, the patrol carries on. 3. Confirm the faults: Faults arrive with images. The control room confirms and dispatches. 4. Restore in order: A dispatch list by customers affected, and a record of every fault found.

From what your team does today, to what the fleet does for it.

Today

The work is capped by headcount

  • Line patrols drive each feeder after a storm.
  • Fallen trees and slips block access.
  • Crews head out before anyone knows exactly where the fault is.
With ORCA

One operator, the whole fleet

  • Every tripped feeder is patrolled at once.
  • Crews go to a confirmed fault, with images.
  • The control room sees the state of the whole network.

Why this job needs more than one drone.

A fleet earns its place when there’s too much ground for the time available, when coverage can’t have a gap, or when people are the limit.

Too much ground

Every feeder at once

Storm damage is spread across the network. A fleet patrols it in parallel.

No network

When the link drops

Patrols carry on behind ridges and sync when the link returns.

People

Crews on repairs

Line crews spend the first hours fixing, not searching.

Answers your team can act on.

Not hours of footage. Each output goes straight into the systems you already use.
