Step · 01
We map every tree near your lines
Sentinel-2 satellite imagery fused with LiDAR builds a live canopy model of your entire corridor — updated every 6 days, no ground crews required.
↳ 98% detection accuracy
Module 01 · Grid Twin · Live · 2026
Stop trees from taking down your power lines.
The first module on the Sat Lab twin. Satellites and AI find every tree about to hit your lines. We rank them by risk. Your crews trim the ones that matter.

[ 01 ] How it works
Trees take down your grid.
Most could be prevented.
38% of outages are caused by vegetation — yet most utilities still inspect by route, not by risk. Sat Lab shows you which spans will fail, ranked by probability, up to 18 months before they do.
Step · 02
AI ranks every span by outage risk
Growth rate, species, encroachment distance, voltage class, and historical storm data — combined into a single risk tier for every span in your network.
↳ Tier-1 spans flagged 18 mo ahead
Step · 03
Crews go to the right span, every time
Ranked work orders flow into your existing GIS. Red first, then amber. A full NERC FAC-003 audit trail is generated automatically — no extra paperwork.
↳ 40% fewer crew-hours wasted
