# Detect

> Detect is an AI-powered asset inspection platform (DetectOS) for electric utilities, powerline contractors, and drone service providers. It turns inspection imagery from drones, helicopters, and ground crews into same-day, risk-ranked defect findings verified by inspection experts.

Detect serves utilities and inspection contractors across North America. The canonical domain is https://detectinspections.com.

## Platform

- [DetectOS platform](https://detectinspections.com/solutions): Same-day condition intelligence for utility infrastructure - automated quality checks, risk-ranked defect detection, and expert review of any visual data.
- [How it works](https://detectinspections.com/how-it-works): Detect validates structure identity, capture angle, and image quality before analysis begins - data quality determines everything downstream.
- [Drone Partner Program](https://detectinspections.com/data-quality-program): The Data Quality Program equips drone service providers with 3D shot sheets, automated flights, and integrated QA.

## Use cases

- [AI utility asset inspection](https://detectinspections.com/use-cases/ai-utility-asset-inspection): Risk-ranked, expert-verified findings from inspection imagery, the same day it is captured.
- [Grid outage prevention](https://detectinspections.com/use-cases/grid-outage-prevention): Find and fix the defects most likely to cause a failure before they take a line down.
- [Predictive grid intelligence](https://detectinspections.com/use-cases/predictive-grid-intelligence): Track how each asset changes over time and see where failure is most likely next.
- [Transmission line inspection](https://detectinspections.com/use-cases/transmission-inspection): Inspect transmission corridors at scale with imagery-first asset records.
- [Substation monitoring](https://detectinspections.com/use-cases/substation-monitoring): Centralized, imagery-first substation asset records with automated defect detection.
- [Distribution network inspection](https://detectinspections.com/use-cases/distribution-network-inspection): Scale distribution inspections with accurate geocoding and severity-based defect detection.
