Executive Summary We partnered with a British Distribution Network Operator (DNO) to develop a computer vision pipeline that identified over 4,000 high-risk poles on a section of their distribution network. In this trial project, we demonstrated an accuracy of up
Corrosion is a significant cost to modern civilisation Corrosion is a natural process converting a refined metal into a more chemically stable oxide. It is the gradual deterioration of materials by chemical or electrochemical reaction with their environment. Corrosion decreases
Keen AI is using deep learning and image processing to detect corroded steelwork on National Grid towers.
It’s easy to think that keeping a clean and up-to-date inventory of your assets is simple, but more often than not you’ll find that most inventories are full of incomplete or downright incorrect entries. Detecting assets and components in places
Electricity transmission operators are responsible for the safe and reliable operation of overhead line pylons. Individual routes can comprise thousands of pylons with a heterogeneous mixture of components. Images of pylons collected during routine maintenance and inspection activity can be
18k Videos over 10 Years weren’t Assigned to an Asset Our customer has been collecting visual data using drones and helicopters for over a decade. Unfortunately, much of it isn’t mapped to the asset it’s for; the only way of
Over the coming months, Keen AI is working with National Grid and sees.ai developing a system which fully automates the corrosion assessment of electricity pylons. National Grid targets the inspection of 3,650 steel lattice towers each year, capturing high definition
Knowing what assets are installed where is important for an asset manager. Single towers can be made up of many different types of components. Routes made up of hundreds or thousands of towers with many of them having a different
Amjad Karim reviews some of the important lessons we learned whilst implementing the KAI platform at the UK’s National Grid.
AI Condition Assessment – The KAI platform is being used at National Grid to support analysts to rapidly identify…
