Percepto's Autonomous Inspection & Monitoring (AIM) software provides customers with AI-powered reports of anomalies and trends. This data allows for effective collaboration between stakeholders, utilizing Percepto's software to view such trends via geotag on a map. This technology provided one U.S. refinery customer with approximately$15 millionin savings, for just one month of autonomous OGI inspections.
Additionally, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has granted Percepto a nationwide waiver for Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) operations, empowering U.S.-based Percepto customers whose sites comply with the waiver's criteria to utilize remotely operated drones. As a result, industrial customers benefit from automated drone inspection and monitoring, without waiting for site-specific FAA approvals.
“工业客户使用Percepto software have been able to minimize downtime, streamline compliance, reduce operational costs, optimize LDAR, speed up response time and critically, improve safety while monitoring and finding ways to reduce their emissions," saidAriel Avitan, Chief Commercial Officer, Percepto.
