A SOLUTION FOR PREDICTABILITY, PLANNING, AND PRIORITIZATION

Enline Vegetation Management (E-VGM)

The Enline Vegetation Management System (E-VGM) combines on-the-ground meteorological data with high-resolution multispectral satellite images to offer visibility and forecast of vegetation development around transmission and distribution grids.

IMPROVE YOUR O&M ACTIVITIES WITH A SINGLE UNIFIED PLATFORM

E-VGM offers precise and quick processing of big data inputs from satellite imagery and acquired real-time information. The selected areas are monitored for excessive vegetation encroachment to forecast and determine the effect on the transmission and distribution lines.

Combining all gathered data with mighty artificial intelligence from Enline’s monitoring system (EMS) allows correctly estimating the clearance from vegetation to wires depending on line load, temperature, etc.

Enline’s vegetation management system will identify the activities required for vegetation management control based on the estimated growth rate. Assess the risks, determine pruning operations, including necessary labor hours, and monitor the completed tasks’ outcomes, enhancing overall reliability and efficiency.

BENEFITS FOR YOUR BUSINESS

ACTION CENTERED ON INDIVIDUAL TREES: Every tree species has a unique growth pattern. There is no reason to shorten 20-km circuit lengths. Dedicate your budget to those areas with a high level of risk.

REAL-TIME RISK IDENTIFICATION: Sophisticated algorithms, artificial intelligence (AI), and integrated satellite images enable the assessment of vegetation concerns and their influence on occurrent risks at any point along a line and at any time. As a result, tasks are prioritized, and every Euro is appropriately spent.

O&M ACTIVITIES CAN BE PLANNED AHEAD OF TIME: Enline algorithms predict the growth of vegetation in the future (up to 5 years), allowing for the preparation of plans for short and mid-cycle trims, the removal of critical trees for keeping the necessary clearance and the use of herbicides as needed.

AID YOUR FIELD TEAMS: Field personnel has access to information such as pruning plans, which allows them to prioritize and execute actions, enhancing productivity. The whole vegetation management process workflow has been automatized.

EFFECTIVELY MANAGE YOUR VEGETATION CONTROL: The platform gives your field team or contractors all necessary information and planning parameters. After the work is complete, your team can inspect the trim work remotely.

ONLY TWO STEPS OF DISTANCE FROM YOUR BUSINESS:

1- Definition and categorization of vegetation management chores, such as pruning operations, according to the location, soil conditions, and kind of trees. Tasks might be preventative, regular, or on-demand.

2- Monitoring the accomplished actions and comparing them to the planned ones using the E-VGM platform.

But, why choose E-VGM? What are the benefits for me and my business?

  • A platform that supports all kinds of data: Our solution integrates whatever current data you have accessible (field surveys, aerial pictures, and others) utilizing what you already know.
  • User-focused design: The system delivers a highly straightforward and intuitive user experience. The vast expertise collected from public service operators has been considered in the creation of Enline platform.
  • We do not depend on historical data: We do not need any of your pre-existing data for our system to perform.
  • Plug-and-play software: E-VGM being a software as a service (SaaS) technology, there are no integration concerns with current or legacy IT systems.
