Product Overview
Overview
AiDash develops software solutions that utilize satellites and artificial intelligence to enhance operations, maintenance, and sustainability for critical industries. The company offers software-as-a-service (SaaS) applications designed to support sustainability and climate resiliency for electric, gas, and water utilities, as well as transportation and construction organizations.
The company's product lineup includes five main applications:
- Intelligent Vegetation Management System™ (IVMS™): Assists electric utilities and other entities in managing vegetation risks along rights-of-way and improving grid resiliency.
- Biodiversity Net Gain Management System™ (BNGAI™): Helps land and construction, water and wastewater, government agencies, and other organizations meet their biodiversity net gain (BNG) and carbon goals.
- Climate Risk Intelligence System™ (CRIS™): Enables electric utilities and other industries to enhance climate resiliency by forecasting outages caused by storms and wildfires, assessing damages, restoring services, and facilitating effective communication.
- Integrity and Encroachment Management System™ (IEMS™): Aids gas utilities in improving reliability and safety by mitigating pipeline integrity risks such as vegetation overgrowth, illegal construction, forest clearings, erosion, and land use changes.
- Asset Inspection and Monitoring System™ (AIMS™): Allows industries to inspect and monitor critical infrastructure, including roads and railroads.
These applications are powered by AiDash's satellite-first platform, which integrates imagery from leading satellite data providers with other data sources and proprietary AI. The platform's AI system has been trained on diverse vegetation and climate conditions from 48 out of 50 U.S. states.
Business Model
AiDash prices are based on the number of utility line-miles. The pricing includes SaaS license, infrastructure, hosting, support, satellite, and other data, etc.
