Tune into our first live Dock talk on April 25th. You’ll hear from new faces who lead visionary transformations and drive the innovation behind Skydio Dock and Remote Ops.

SAN MATEO, Calif. — In December, the world saw first-hand how Skydio Dock and Remote Ops pave the way for intelligent and autonomous inspection of critical infrastructure. We heard from early customers about how they’re putting Docks to work in some of the most challenging inspection missions (if you missed the event, give it a watch).

As more Docks continue to take flight, we’re pleased to invite you back for the first of many live Dock talks that give you another look at how innovation and use cases continue progressing from the field. In this talk, we’ll show you new Dock capabilities and features that power some awesome missions with leading utility organizations.

You’ll hear from new faces who lead visionary transformations and drive the innovation behind Skydio Dock and Remote Ops. You’ll learn about autonomous inspection of substation devices using dock-based drones, providing inspections of substation devices for pre- and post-switching thermal inspections, readings from manual gauges on substation regulators, and autonomous security patrols.

Bring your curiosity and questions—this session is not to be missed.

Join the live talk to understand:

  1. How Docks automatically inspect substation switches for pre- and post-switching operations.
  2. How automated thermal missions can improve CAIDI/SAIDI scores by identifying issues before they cause major system issues or an outage.
  3. How leading Utility organizations bring greater accountability, efficiency, and safety when inspecting lines in tough environments during severe wildfire season, and why Docks improve the Public Safety Power Shutoff (PSPS) process.
  4. What AI-driven inspections do to help avoid momentary outages and improve system reliability through routine inspection data captured throughout the year, helping utility organizations predict maintenance needs ahead of time and removing nuisance outages that impact MAIFI scores.
  5. How Docks help deter attacks on substation infrastructure and provide critical surveillance and response in natural disaster situations.
  6. How top utility organizations prepare to deploy Docks within their infrastructure — including organizational, regulatory, and financial requirements necessary to scale this reality.
