Visual Intelligence and ARE Partner to Deliver Rail and Utility Engineering Services Based On Newly Enabled Millimeter-Class Drone Data

PRESS RELEASE

Houston, TX, USA – February 25, 2021 – Visual Intelligence and ARE announce a partnership to bring the benefits of millimeter-class drone data and engineering analysis to the Rail and Utility industries.

Drone technology is playing an increasingly important role in managing physical infrastructure, however drone data isn’t benefiting everyone evenly. For most use cases, Engineering departments receive minimal value from inspection-class datasets and 3D models. Enterprises are beginning to recognize that they need to dramatically improve accuracy and coverage for drone data to add long-term value across all aspects of business.

Visual Intelligence is the first unified drone platform capable of digitizing physical infrastructure with millimeter accuracy. With data that is 10-20 times more accurate than mobile Lidar technologies and 50-100 times more accurate than single camera commercial drones, this new class of drone data opens the door to an unexplored category of offerings that serve engineering workflows and benefit analysis across an asset’s complete lifecycle. Visual Intelligence will work with ARE to capture engineering-grade datasets on infrastructure including railways, bridges and utilities to better analyze structures and provide unprecedented services to customers.

“ARE’s knowledge of infrastructure lifecycles, its proven engineering expertise, and its progressive approaches to solving customer challenges is a natural fit for our technology in the rail and utility industries,” said Ted Miller, Founder of Visual Intelligence and former Chairman, CEO of Crown Castle International (NYSE: CCI). “Currently delivering UAS solutions in 27 states across the US, this partnership will bring the value of millimeter-class data to rail and bridge engineering analysis across the country.”

ARE will become part of the Visual Intelligence provider ecosystem, a worldwide network of partnerships that offers proprietary access to sensors and software to help partners achieve engineering-grade accuracy from drone captures, enabling new forms of automation, maintenance efficiencies and engineering analysis.
