Analysis of data on diagnosed overhead lines and the area around
Creation of information model and diagnostic mission
Field work, collection of data on the condition of the diagnosed line
Creation of a report and preparation of recommendations for the maintenance of overhead lines
CableWalker.exe - intended
for storing passport parameters of the surveyed power line, design parameters of power lines processed
the results of field examinations and the formation of reports on the condition of the power line based on the
available
templates.
Cable.Sim - ubsystem for computer modeling of power lines
intended for automated programming
full-scale inspection of power lines. Based on the digital model of the power line and the list of tasks for the
survey
a mission is being formed
survey of the power line, which is used by the CableWalker platform in the automated and (or)
automatic mode.
Cable.Mag – magnetic scanning data analysis subsystem
and detection of defects: loss of section and local breaks
wire.
Cable.Laser - laser data analysis subsystem
scanning and detection of defects: violation of dimensions and arrows
sag, support slopes along and across the power line route.
Cable.VideoExpert - The expert subsystem is designed for
processing of photo and video images in order to identify
defects of various types.
