Noteworthy AI provides fleet vehicle-mounted smart cameras + AI that help utilities survey and evaluate the condition of the electric distribution grid at scale. Our technology offers an end-to-end solution from data collection to analysis and includes two key products: Inspect Edge and Inspect Cloud. Inspect Edge is a combined multi-camera and computing system installed on fleet vehicles to gather and process data. Inspect Cloud, a web-based application, displays these results.

The Inspect system executes three primary functions:

• Utilizes an on-board GPS system and stereo vision cameras to pinpoint the geographical coordinates of utility poles with high accuracy.
• Captures high-resolution images of utility poles and assets.
• Employs computer vision and various machine learning methods to analyze the collected imagery.

Our product automates data collection and analysis of electric distribution assets at scale, increasing the situational awareness of grid operators while reducing their operation and maintenance costs.

Customers can purchase or rent Inspect Edge hardware units and are billed per pole for the software analysis (e.g. for each pole inspected). Exact pricing is dependent on volume.

Our fully autonomous technology enables utilities to leverage their existing fleet vehicles during routine operations - leading to opportunities for O&M reduction and even capitalization. Additionally, we provide an end-to-end solution that focuses on the complete evaluation workflow - from collection to analysis to integration with existing systems - enabling highly accurate results that can be immediately operationalized.

Our end-to-end Inspect system helps solve multiple use cases for grid operators:

• Asset Inventory - Lower inspection costs and increase situational awareness of your distribution assets with high-resolution images and accurate coordinates of every pole in your service territory.
• Asset Inspection - Pinpoint utility pole conditions and defects like crossarm damage, deteriorating pole tops, and leaning poles, increasing situational awareness of risky assets in your service territory.
• Lighting Audits - Geo-locate lighting assets, identify their fixture types, and digitize wattages and serial numbers to help scale inventorying street and outdoor-area lighting.
• Vegetation Intelligence - Quickly identify areas with problematic overgrowth for proactive pruning and maintenance to reduce outage risk.
• 3rd Party + Joint Use Intelligence: Count, identify, and measure attachments from third-parties to ensure proper billing and compliance.
