Vegetation management is a critical yet challenging aspect for utility companies aiming to ensure reliable power delivery. Overgrown vegetation near power lines is one of the leading causes of power outages, posing risks not only to service continuity but also public safety.

Advancements in remote sensing technologies combined with artificial intelligence (AI) offer powerful tools to address these challenges efficiently. Satellite imagery and aerial photography, enhanced through AI-driven analysis, enable proactive identification and management of vegetation threats, minimizing outages and maintenance costs.

Interested in seeing these advancements firsthand? We will be conducting live demos of Atlas during Distributech in Dallas, TX, from March 25-27, 2025. Don’t miss the chance to experience Atlas in action at Booth 6729!
