An autonomous drone-in-a-box system in which a drone lives in a weatherproof base station at an industrial site, launches on a schedule or on demand, flies a pre-mapped route fully autonomously, captures inspection imagery, and returns to recharge with no operator on site. Built for energy, mining, and utility facilities, it runs under Percepto's nationwide FAA BVLOS waiver so a remote team can monitor multiple sites at once. The platform handles security patrols, equipment inspection, and emissions monitoring across large, hard-to-staff facilities.
The analytics layer that turns autonomous drone flights into actionable findings, using computer vision and machine learning to detect anomalies such as corrosion, leaks, hot spots, and unauthorized intrusions across captured imagery. It compares results over time to track change at a site and prioritizes issues for human review, so operators supervise exceptions rather than watch live feeds. In 2025 Percepto's optical-gas-imaging drones running this software received EPA approval for autonomous methane and emissions compliance inspections at oil-and-gas sites.
