Dominion Energy: Asset inspection, from an office chair

Synopsis

With Skydio Dock and Remote Ops, Dominion Energy is able to inspect any asset at any time, from a computer anywhere in the world — and it’s changing their operations.

Aging infrastructure, limited resources, natural disasters, and budget constraints complicate asset inspection. With Skydio's dock-based drone technology, Dominion Energy has found an easier way to understand the condition of assets. They remotely launch a self-flying drone from a computer, get near-instant visibility, and make informed decisions in minutes — without leaving their desks.

Watch our live demoto see a real-time remote substation inspection, and hear T.F. Butler, Dominion Energy’s Unmanned Systems Group Manager, explain how and why his program relies on remote asset inspection:

  • Near real-time data. Anytime. Anywhere.
  • Reduce O&M expense: Conduct routine or event-based inspections from a computer, make informed decisions in minutes.
  • Better resource allocation: No more unnecessary truck rolls — allocate crews more effectively.
  • Increase worker safety: Keep your workers out of harm's way — send intelligent, self-flying drones.
