One Photo Out of 40,000 Can Be the Difference
Communities depend on transmission systems for reliable power. A single missed defect - a loose bolt, a cracked insulator - can mean the difference between a routine maintenance cycle and a major outage.
The Detect Data Quality Program equips drone service providers with the knowledge, tools, and standardized processes to capture inspection imagery that meets utility-grade standards. No guesswork. No reshoots. Just consistent, high-quality data ready for AI-powered analysis on DetectOS.
Whether you're scaling your pilot team or entering the transmission inspection market for the first time, this program lowers the barrier to entry and gets you collecting at a professional level from day one.
Clarity Is Quality
At Detect, we believe that the best inspection intelligence starts with the best data. That's why we built this program - to close the gap between drone service providers and the utilities they serve.
Historically, drone operators would capture thousands of images and hand off terabytes of raw data to the utility, leaving them to sort through it all. Detect changes that. We distill inspection data down to actionable intelligence - but only when the imagery going in meets a precise standard.
This self-directed certification program teaches you exactly how to meet that standard. You'll learn our tools, our processes, and the domain knowledge that separates good data from great data. When you complete the program, you'll be ready to collect for Detect-managed projects with confidence.
Standardized Processes
Learn the shot sheet methodology, flight planning workflows, and capture sequences that Detect uses across every project. Our 3D-modeled shot sheets ensure the drone follows the shortest possible flight path while capturing every detail the utility needs.
Automated Flight Tools
Train on Detect's integration with Drone Harmony to automate repetitive flight paths. Automation reduces mental load, improves safety, and ensures every pilot on the project delivers identical results - structure after structure.
Domain Knowledge
Understand what you're inspecting and why. From steel lattice towers to monopoles, insulators to conductors, you'll learn the components, terminology, and defect indicators that help you capture with purpose.
