Vegetation Management for Electric Utilities

Overstory helps energy companies to mitigate wildfires and power outages. Improving the safety and reliability of the transmission and distribution system and reducing grid operation cost.
Real-time
By extracting insights from a high variety of very high spatial and temporal resolution satellite data sources, including multi- and hyperspectral imagery, SAR and video.
Predictive
By applying AI algorithms specialized in trees and vegetation, predicting grow-in and fall-in risks based on species, growth, weather & climate, and vitality.
Actionable
By facilitating predictive planning, tracking and verifying trimming cycles by contractors, and timely reports on Vegetation Management KPIs.
Products & features
Risk tracker
Based on the vegetation data layers combined with wire zone and border zone, a risk identification is provided. Fall-in risk and grow-in risks are both identified.
Priority tracker
Prioritization of the risk areas based on estimated likelihood and potential consequence. Priorities are color coded and can be easily integrated with trimming schedules.
