The potential of these technologies is amplified with integration of data analysis and AI: this is because processing of the data collected permits rapid classification of any problems observed; it is possible to generate detailed, in-depth and usable reports that facilitate decision-making and proactive maintenance.
With this in mind, Edison is investing in setting up a facility specifically for the collection and structuring of information, for relations with research organisations and start-ups, and above all for interconnection, facilitation and enhancement of internal expertise on inspection activities through technology.
Overall, the use of drones and robots is an evolving trend, constantly monitored by Edison to keep up with technological changes in research and development and thus increase the reliability, productivity and efficiency of inspection processes.
