About Infravision

Infravision builds new technologies that unlock efficient and scalable methods of power line construction and maintenance. Infravision has quickly become a household name in the Australian and United States transmission industry. Their mission is to deliver solutions to modernize the grid and accelerate the renewable energy transition to a carbon free grid.

The Challenge

Traditional methods of power line maintenance and assembly posed significant safety risks, and make compliance a nightmare.
The process for planning and conducting drone operations was convoluted and time-consuming - delays and costs for projects were mounting up.
Scaling operations effectively while maintaining high standards was difficult, simplicity and speed was needed, but not at the cost of safety.

The Solution

Infravision partnered with FlyFreely, utilizing its drone management platform and safety app. This software:

Automated regulatory compliance for each type of drone operation.
Simplified and expedited the induction process for new staff - training and adoption became incredibly easy and fast.
Enabled significant time savings (up to 70% for flight approvals).
Facilitated safer, multi-operation tasks with drones, using all the automation tools in FlyFreely - including maintenance, planning and flight logging.

The Results

Safer and more efficient operations in the power line construction sector across remote areas and state boundaries.
Enabled ability to handle multiple operations simultaneously at a higher standard, significantly improving scalability.
Enhanced productivity allowing multiple highly complex flights to be planned and executed simultaneously.
Built a strong collaborative relationship with FlyFreely, fostering innovation in drone safety solutions and preparing for international expansion.
