Xplorate is transforming infrastructure monitoring with advanced Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems (RPAS), delivering real-time, data-driven insights for industries like energy, mining, and government. By integrating AI-powered analytics with BVLOS drone operations, Xplorate enhances asset management, reduces inspection risks, and improves operational efficiency across critical infrastructure networks.
Xplorate: Transforming Infrastructure Monitoring with RPAS Technology
Revolutionising Asset Management and Inspection
Traditional methods of monitoring pipelines, power lines, railways, and reforestation areas rely heavily on visual inspections, which are time-consuming, labour-intensive, and prone to human error. Xplorate’s RPAS (Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems) operations provide a data-driven alternative, enhancing efficiency, safety, and precision in asset management. With over eight million miles of pipelines and power lines, as well as vast tracts of land requiring continuous monitoring, Xplorate offers a scalable solution for businesses, governments, and environmental agencies.
Comprehensive Aerial Intelligence for Critical Industries
Xplorate is a leading RPAS and data intelligence company offering a diverse range of services tailored to the energy and resources sectors. These include:
Linear Infrastructure Inspections: Ensuring the structural integrity of pipelines and power lines using BVLOS (Beyond Visual Line of Sight) operations and advanced monitoring techniques.
Asset Inspection: Supporting maintenance planning and audits for critical infrastructure, including power lines, wind turbines, and mining assets.
Emissions Monitoring: Detecting leaks, localising emissions, and quantifying environmental impact through Optical Gas Imaging (OGI) and real-time reporting.
Contingency Management: Enhancing fire safety, vegetation monitoring, and security through video surveillance, thermal imaging, and drone-based risk assessments.
Xplorate aims to bridge the gap between traditional aviation operations and modern data analytics, providing a single source for all aerial intelligence and asset monitoring needs.
Xplorate Intelligence
The Xplorate Intelligence Portal is an AI-driven system that collects, processes, analyses, and integrates vast data sources for intelligent decision-making. It gathers information from orbital, aerial, ground-based, and digital sources, which is then standardised and processed through a centralised data store. Advanced AI models identify, classify, and correlate patterns, enabling key capabilities such as object recognition, change detection, erosion/corrosion prediction, POI discovery, leak isolation, and feature classification. A powerful Rules and AI Engine transforms raw data into actionable insights, supporting predictive maintenance and operational efficiency. The Xplorate Intelligence serves as a single source of truth, empowering businesses to optimisze resources, improve decision-making, and enhance operational performance with real-time, AI-powered intelligence.
Leading Innovation with Cutting-Edge RPAS Technology
Xplorate leverages advanced RPAS technology to offer safe, accurate, and efficient monitoring solutions across industries such as mining, energy, oil and gas, construction, and government sectors. Its data-driven approach enables industries to transition away from manual inspections, minimising risks and maximising operational uptime.
By integrating digital twin creation, point cloud classification, orthophoto modelling, and IoT-enabled insights, Xplorate empowers clients with unparalleled decision-making capabilities. This advanced technology is not only enhancing business efficiency but also helping companies achieve their ESG and sustainability goals.
