Substation surveys with
standoff and certainty
Energized equipment rewards distance. Drone-based thermal surveys cover a substation yard without an outage or a bucket truck — and Atlas turns those flights into measured, per-asset findings your maintenance planning can rely on.
Utility-grade documentation
Rigorous measurement and asset history for critical infrastructure.
Radiometric file support
Atlas reads the calibrated temperature data embedded in DJI R-JPEG and FLIR radiometric files — not just the colorized preview — so every reading is a measurement, not a guess.
Calibrated temperature analysis
Inspect per-pixel temperatures, adjust emissivity and reflected temperature, and place spot and area measurements that update live as you tune parameters.
Georeferenced findings
Findings land on maps and an interactive 3D globe view, so repair crews know exactly where to go without re-flying the site.
Automatic photo organization
Uploads are sorted thermal vs optical, grouped by flight, and filed against the right project and building automatically — even full memory-card dumps.
Built for teams
Multi-inspector firms get shared projects, role-based access, client accounts, and an audit history of who changed what.
Branded PDF reports
Generate client-ready reports with annotated imagery, findings tables, and severity grading — under your logo and brand, ready to send the same day.
Cover the yard, keep the evidence
A drone pass captures bushings, connections, arresters, and transformer surfaces from angles a ground walk can't reach safely. Atlas ingests the flight, pairs thermal and optical frames, and anchors each finding with calibrated temperatures and location — so the anomaly on B-phase becomes an addressable work item, not a screenshot in an email.
History that catches trends
The connection that's 8°C warm this quarter and 15°C warm next quarter is telling you something. Atlas keeps every survey attached to the site, so quarter-over-quarter comparison takes minutes and slow-developing failures get caught while they're still scheduled maintenance instead of unplanned outages.
Frequently asked questions
Is drone thermal inspection safe around substations?
Flight operations near energized equipment require utility approval, appropriate standoff, and qualified pilots — that operational responsibility is yours. Atlas handles the data side: planning coverage, processing radiometric imagery, and documenting findings.
Can Atlas track individual assets across surveys?
Findings and imagery accumulate per site with full survey history, so recurring inspections build the trend record that condition-based maintenance depends on.
Does Atlas work for other utility assets?
Yes — the same workflow covers switchyards, distribution equipment, and solar or battery sites in the same portfolio.
