The outage management system that works before the lights go out

Restoration software maps outages after customers lose power. DetectOS finds the loose bolts, cracked insulators, and failing crossarms that cause them. Turn inspection imagery from any source into severity-ranked findings your team can act on before a defect becomes a headline.

Outage prevention

Catch failures while they are still maintenance items

Every outage starts as a defect somebody could have caught. DetectOS runs three automated data-quality checks on every image before analysis begins, then applies AI defect detection verified by subject matter experts.

You get accurate, prioritized findings instead of thousands of raw photos.

Photo-to-structure association confirms every image maps to the right asset

Capture angle and orientation tracking verifies full coverage of each structure

Image quality assurance flags unusable data before analysis begins

Why DetectOS

What a modern outage management system should deliver

Restoration software tells you where the grid failed. DetectOS works upstream, turning routine inspections into an early warning system for the assets most likely to fail next. Fewer failures ever reach your outage map.

Findings arrive 10X faster than manual review

Automated data pipelines deliver severity-ranked results in days, not months. Act on defects while crews are still mobilized and repair windows are still open.

Every finding is verified before you see it

AI flags potential issues. Subject matter experts confirm them. Your maintenance budget goes toward real defects instead of false positives.

Works with imagery from any capture method

Drone, helicopter, vehicle-mounted camera, or phone. DetectOS standardizes it all into one condition record per asset, no matter who captured the data.

How DetectOS prevented a $1M+ outage on new transmission infrastructure
When one major North American utility energized their state-of-the-art HVDC renewable transmission line, conventional wisdom suggested minimal risk.

DetectOS proved otherwise. A single loose clevis bolt in a suspension assembly (missed by QA) threatened to drop a major HVDC conductor. Our platform spotted this critical issue before winter conditions hit, preventing a costly outage.

What is an outage management system?


An outage management system (OMS) is software utilities use to detect outages, locate the cause, and coordinate restoration. It works with SCADA, smart meters, and customer reports to shorten downtime once power is already lost.

How is DetectOS different from a traditional OMS?


A traditional OMS manages the response after an outage occurs. DetectOS works upstream, analyzing inspection imagery to find failing components early so fewer failures ever reach your outage map.

Does DetectOS replace our existing OMS?


No. DetectOS reduces the number of outages your restoration software has to manage. Findings export into the planning and maintenance systems you already use.

What imagery does DetectOS accept?


Any visual data source works, including drone, helicopter, vehicle-mounted camera, and phone imagery. Automated checks standardize quality across capture methods before analysis begins.

How quickly do we see results?


Findings are typically delivered within days of upload, roughly 10X faster than manual review. Every finding is severity ranked and verified by subject matter experts before delivery.
