The new Skydio X10s will provide our pilots
the ability to support our storm response even
better than we do today.
It will provide real-time data images and
live streaming to their FLSs. our system incident
commanders. and our regional emergency response managers so
that they can see how many crews are
needed to support the damage assessment and repairs
out in the field.
I think there's tremendous value in using drones
in an emergency response situation for utilities.
With X10. it can navigate in the dark.
it can navigate through adverse conditions in order
to get to the right place and get
the information you need.
The X10's robustness and precision in data collection
would enhance ComEd's ability to conduct thorough inspections.
improve maintenance protocols. and ensure service reliability.
Its autonomous navigation system is ideal for complex
environments. reducing pilot workload and enhancing safety.
The X10. with its anti-collision systems. allows
me to go into areas that are basically
inaccessible or would be very hard to access.
The drone allows us to see things that
can't be visible from the ground.
With the new X10's AI features. it's really
enabled us to be able to fly at
night. which opens up a whole entire world
of being able to safely fight an issue
at night and not putting our personnel into
harm's way.
The new Skydio X10 is an exciting evolution
for our drone pilots.
Data images captured from the X10 will help
support our image analytics platform called Optelos.
The Skydio X10 has thermal capabilities and putting
it up and being able to find hot
spots on objects you just can't see with
the naked eye. any defective. cracked pieces of
equipment that otherwise we would be putting to
guess and sending the crew out there.
Now with the thermal. we're able to see
the actual device that's causing the problem.
The Skydio X10 is a tremendous step forward
for ComEd's UAS program.
With its advanced thermal imaging and high-resolution
cameras. the X10 can conduct power line inspections
and assess substation equipment efficiently. providing clear data
in all lighting conditions.
One of the newest features. and a fantastic
one at that with the new X10. is
that it is able to now process its
3D scans or 2D scans real-time and
we can view them from the controller.
And being able to see it real-time
in the field is a valuable asset.
This is where you would just do a
normal map capture using a grid.
So today we met with the Skydio team.
Our pilots had the chance to test fly
the new Skydio X10.
The X10s are going to provide us a
lot of different capabilities for our pilots when
flying.
They'll have longer flight missions.
We'll be able to capture better data.
X10 is going to improve resiliency by not
only impacting the immediate. but the downstream effects
of having information at your fingertips.
At the end of the day. customers expect
safe. reliable. and affordable power.
And X10 will enable that delivery by detecting
small problems before they become big problems.
