Percepto Selected by Florida Light & Power for Drone Monitor Contract
Percepto has announced the imminent deployment of a fleet of autonomous drones on a mission to monitor Florida Power & Light’s substations and power distribution grids across the state. The company notes that it's the first time the technology has been used in such a way in the state, leveraging drone-in-a-box (DIB) technology with a minimal personnel and infrastructural requirement. The deal represents the largest commercial autonomous drone project in the world, according to Percepto, who says it's also apparently the first time autonomous drones have been used in urban terrain for infrastructure inspection.
