Visual Intelligence
What is Visual Intelligence?
Today, global T&D utilities spend millions of dollars per year on vegetation management and asset inspection programs to reduce outages, increase compliance, improve safety, and reduce the probability of catastrophic events such as wildfires or major regional outages.
Driven by Artificial Intelligence, GE’s Visual Intelligence Platform optimizes these systems and processes and provides a holistic picture of the grid to help reduce the cost and complexity associated with traditional inspection approaches, while improving risk management and productivity.

How to Drive Down Vegetation Management Cost
Data Driven Visual Intelligence
Vegetation management (VM) is a critical and expensive maintenance responsibility to protect transmission and distribution infrastructure. This white paper outlines the results of a recent survey of 36 major North American electric and gas utilities concerning their satisfaction with their current vegetation management programs and recommendations for improvements.
Analyze data faster and more accurately through AI at scale and automated processing pipelines
Supports the ingestion of all major filetypes
RGB, LIDAR, Hyperspectral, Multispectral, FLIR, allowing for the optimal blend of image types to drive the highest value through the core Vegetation Management and Asset Inspection use cases
Vegetation Management and Asset Inspection on the same platform
This allows for economies of scale and better coordination in the usage for utilities’ image and imagery data
Easy interoperability
Easily & Inherently integrates with Electric Office, Smallworld, and GE’s ADMS, reducing time, complexity, and errors in data transfer & Integration.
