Asset Image Analytics

Image analytics for asset management

Transforming images into insights

Images from drones, fixed cameras, LiDAR, satellites, and other sources can elevate utilities’ efforts to prevent wildfires, keep field assets in good working order, and mobilize disaster response teams. With potentially thousands of images flowing in every day, utility providers need intelligent image analytics solutions that can transform this visual data into decision-supporting insights.

Logic20/20 leverages the latest in machine learning and AI, including advanced computer vision, to develop impactful asset image analytics solutions. We empower utilities to transform a steady stream of raw images into real-time, data-driven insights that help them protect their assets and safeguard their communities. Through AI image interpretation, we help utilities proactively tackle potential issues before they escalate into significant challenges.
