Drive by Inspection System, UIT-V1

UIT-V1 is the most advanced version of Drive-By Primary Distribution Overhead Inspection System that uses ultrasonic detection methods for the inspection of power facilities.

UIT-V1 is the only patented inspection system that uses the ultrasonic technology. This allows users to detect degraded equipment in a moving vehicle while it travels at the speed of 30 Km per hour. UIT-V1 captures ultrasound emitted from faulty equipment with a pinpoint accuracy by using the state of art technology. This can enhance engineers’ working condition and improve the quality of inspection in transmission line, ABC (Aerial Bundle Cable) feeder, substation, as well as distribution facility.

The system enables distribution engineers to detect and replace faulty equipment prior to a costly failure, which offers utility companies to proactively prevent any potential outages.

The analytical diagnostic software provides engineers the level of degradation accumulated from faulty equipment. This allows engineers to plan distribution asset management with ease.

Since the product and service offering in 2008, UIT-V1 and its predecessor Inspector 101 have been implemented and used by utilities in Korea (having inspected 16,205,723 distribution poles for 192 KEPCO branches from Jan.2009 to Dec.2013) and other countries (Having inspected 983,200 distribution poles and 1,500 transmission structure in U.S, Canada, Brazil, Mexico, Jamaica, New Zealand, Australia, Samoa, Poland, Iran, Indonesia, Philippines, Laos, Cambodia, China and Malaysia.
