Explore How You Can Partner With Us
Data Capture
To be successful with virtual inspections you need to get your image capture methodology right. We are hardware agnostic, that means we can work with any data capture method and partner from unmanned aerial vehicles manned or unmanned, helicopters, satellite, ground patrol etc.
Inspection Services
When required we partner with inspection partners to conduct virtual inspections and capture inventory of critical infrastructure.
Adjacent Technologies
Camera and Sensors
We work with various partners on different technologies including camera and sensors for data capture.
Automated Flight Patterns
With aerial vehicles we partner for automated flight patterns to ensure efficient flights with reduced re-flying.
Additional Services
If required we partner with complementary types of data providers for LiDAR, Satellite and Vegetation Management.
Integration and Consulting
When required we partner with integration and consultancy companies to ensure that our solutions are scaled into business as usual and integrated into legacy systems.
We also work with leading industry experts to support our customers in various activities.
Our partnership with Microsoft
Microsoft has been a foundational partner since our inception. Grid Vision® was born and thrives on Microsoft Azure, the trust, scalability, and cutting-edge technology of the platform has been instrumental to our customers success.
The strength of this partnership is reflected in the numerous recognitions we’ve received from Microsoft, including being awarded Partner of the Year and twice nominated as Global AI Partner of the Year. Our CTO’s recognition as a Microsoft Regional Director further underscores the depth of our collaboration. We are proud and grateful for the close relationship we share with Microsoft, a partnership built on shared values and vision to address the evolving needs of the energy sector with AI-powered solutions.

Are all virtual inspections the same?
Absolutely not! Lets take a step back and look at the definition of virtual inspections for energy infrastructure; a virtual inspection is any visual asset inspection that is preformed remotely – conducted while physically away from the asset in the field using remotely sensed data (e.g., high-resolution imagery).
