One of our utility customers recently shared some interesting data with us. In 2024, they averaged just over two incidents per day, representing a significant improvement from previous years. This progress comes from their damage prevention team taking a proactive approach by promoting "One Call" systems in the communities they serve.

While the data doesn’t detail the severity of these incidents, it’s clear just how much time, money, and resources utilities spend responding to them. Consider this — each incident likely involved dispatching a crew, sometimes necessitating multiple visits, trucks, and teams to resolve the issue. And since utilities operate on regulated rates, these costs hit their bottom line with no extra revenue to offset them.

Now, imagine a different approach — one where incidents are significantly reduced and response efforts are streamlined. That’s where Satelytics comes in. Our AI-powered geospatial analytics rapidly analyze commercial satellite imagery to keep a close eye on critical infrastructure, often multiple times a week. The system flags even subtle changes that could lead to problems, like nearby construction, equipment staging, geohazards, seasonal changes, or vegetation growth threatening infrastructure. And the best part? Satellites can monitor hard-to-reach spots like backyards or areas outside the right-of-way (ROW), with no "boots on the ground" required.

With over a decade of experience, our algorithms have analyzed nearly a quadrillion pixels with incredible accuracy — down to the square foot. The solution scales effortlessly, whether you’re increasing monitoring frequency or expanding coverage areas. Plus, regular satellite monitoring comes with cost benefits that make it even more affordable over time. And as some of our utility partners have already shown, reducing damage to assets leads to huge savings in the long run.

It’s time to say goodbye to those "two-a-days."
