GridScan™

Drone Powerline & Infrastructure Inspections

Prevent Failures. Improve Safety. Cut Costs.

Protect the Grid Before It Fails

GridScan™ is Sky Commander’s precision aerial inspection solution for high-value electrical infrastructure. From aging distribution lines to remote substations and tall communication towers, we deliver data you can act on—faster, safer, and at a lower cost than traditional methods.

Why Choose GridScan?

  • Catch Problems Early: Thermal and visual inspections reveal issues before they escalate.
  • Stay Compliant: Generate visual proof of inspections to meet industry regulations.
  • Reduce Downtime: Replace manual or helicopter inspections with smarter, safer drones.
  • Audit with Confidence: Digitally timestamped and geo-tagged reporting.
  • Scale Efficiently: Inspect more infrastructure in less time—without sending workers up poles or towers.
