Vegetation Intelligence
Software that maps trees near power lines from satellite and aerial imagery and ranks which ones pose outage or wildfire risk.
Why it matters
Trees contacting lines cause many outages and some utility-sparked wildfires. Utilities spend heavily on trimming; better data sends crews where the risk actually is.
How the technology works
Overstory runs AI models over satellite and aerial imagery and combines the results with each utility's own data, such as asset locations, wildfire maps and terrain, to produce risk rankings for vegetation management.
