Substation

Monitor Substations with Visual AI  

 

Buzz Solutions automates analysis of imagery from docked drones and fixed cameras to deliver real-time alerts for security risks, safety events, and infrastructure defects — so your team can act before a situation escalates.

 

Deployments can be cloud-based or on-premise, with cybersecure design built in.

Stream optical and thermal videos in real time using PTZ fixed cameras as well as docked drone technology

Utilize accurate AI models for RGB and thermal imagery to identify security, safety, and equipment condition issues

When urgent issues are detected receive near-real-time alerts via email and text and view detections in a dashboard

The Challenge Substation Teams Face

Utilities trust PowerAI to transform video monitoring and equipment inspection data into scalable, AI-powered insights:

  • Substation teams need real-time alerts for security incidents, safety emergencies, and severe equipment defects to take quick actions
  • Traditional fixed-camera surveillance offers limited visibility into infrastructure condition and equipment health
  • Manual video monitoring is resource-intensive and difficult to sustain at scale
  • Thermal imagery has proven effective for detecting defective transformer bushings and insulators — but the technology has been hard to scale.  

 

Gain clear visibility into asset health. Prioritize what matters. Act faster at scale.

Learn More About How NYPA Safeguarded Their Substations

“As a part of our integrated approach to security, safety and asset health of our critical infrastructure and over expanding asset base we partnered with Buzz Solutions and EPRI to pilot the AI based video analytics using Buzz PowerGuard solution. The pilot yielded excellent results, enabling us to explore additional use cases, particularly for our remote sites, and to build capabilities using our existing camera feeds. The layered approach of using video analytics along with manual surveillance, sensors and security intrusion detection systems provides greater insights and allow focusing on relevant events. NYPA is committed to leveraging these advanced technologies to boost efficiency while ensuring the protection of our infrastructure.”
