Substation monitoring

Monitor substations continuously without continuous site visits

Your equipment operates 24/7 but when inspections happen quarterly or at longer intervals, any issues aren’t going to wait. DetectOS helps close that gap.

Current inspection blind spots

Your assets aren’t waiting for your inspection schedule to develop problems.

Manual inspections capture single moments

Hardware degradation, connection loosening, and component wear progress only march on while you wait for the next scheduled inspection.

Access restrictions limit visibility

Safety protocols and energized zones can often prevent close inspection of certain assets.

Degradation accelerates between cycles

With every inspection cycle that passes, there’s just more time for failures to reach critical stages.

How DetectOS monitors substations

Capture from any device

Upload imagery from drones, handheld cameras, or smartphones. DetectOS immediately organizes images by asset for analysis.

Automated asset organization

Images are automatically parsed and organized by location and equipment type. Navigate directly to any asset and access its complete inspection history.

Backed by expert verification

Our platform analyzes imagery extremely rapidly, identifying hardware defects, connection issues, and equipment degradation. Every detection is verified by subject matter experts before reaching your team.

Severity-based prioritization

Issues are categorized by asset and ranked by severity. Filter by critical, high-priority, low-priority, or informational findings to focus resources where they matter most.

Built for everyone in your organization

Frequently asked questions

What capture methods work for substations?


Drones for elevated equipment and overview shots. Handheld cameras for accessible components. Smartphone capture for quick verification. DetectOS organizes and analyzes imagery from any source.

What is the turnaround time for analysis?


Our analysis can be completed while your team is still on the ground. Critical hardware issues are flagged and escalated within minutes of being uploaded to the system.

How does DetectOS handle large substation portfolios?


You can filter and prioritize across dozens or hundreds of sites. Track trends across your entire fleet.
