What is DetectOS?

DetectOS is Detect's platform for utility asset inspection. Drone imagery of your poles, towers and lines is analysed for defects, and DetectOS shows you which assets need attention first, what was found, and how each asset's condition changes over time.

Inside DetectOS: a tour of the platform.

With DetectOS you can:

  • See your whole fleet on a map, colored by condition, with the assets that need attention listed first.
  • Review each inspection: browse every photo of a structure, the defects found on it, and how severe they are.
  • Record repairs and track what has been caught, repaired, and is still open.
  • Export executive reports, defect data and imagery for your own systems.
  • Manage your team: invite people, set their roles, and decide which networks each person can see.
