AUTOMATE GRID ENHANCEMENT AND MAINTENANCE
POWER LINE COATING ROBOTS
SCALABLE MULTI-BOT SYSTEM FOR IN-SITU CONDUCTOR MODIFICATION
CapacityN is an advanced robotic system engineered to apply functional coatings directly to existing overhead power lines. This innovative approach allows utilities to upgrade their existing infrastructure without the need for extensive reconductoring, offering significant savings in both money and time.
CapacityN - THE ENABLER FOR COATING AS A SERVICE
RETROFIT COATING EXISTING LINES
In-situ surface modification of overhead conductors can address overhead lines in a cost efficient and novel way: Line Uprating, Corrosion Mitigation, Corona Noise Reduction.
RAPIDLY PURSUING SCALABILITY
The CapacityN system has already been successfully demonstrated at a multi-kilometre scale. Our partners have reported verified operational improvements relating to capacity and noise.
We are scaling and rapidly developing an impressive portfolio of patented technologies to achieve multi-100km scale project capability in the near future.
BASE ROBOTIC PLATFORM: BRP
The Workhorse. The Tractor. An agile and scalable platform designed for efficiently maneuvering and maintenance end-effectors along overhead lines, ensuring seamless operation and durability.
Full stack technology
