Your benefits
ENHANCED MONITORING
CAPRA SCOUT patrol perimeters autonomously, providing real-time alerts for proactive maintenance to ensure optimal functioning substations.
INSPECT UNMANNED STATIONS
Automate pre-defined tasks at unmanned substations using state-of-the-art inspection robots to monitor remote locations from afar.
COST EFFICIENCY
Manage a fleet of specialized robots to reduce man-based inspection costs significantly.
EARLY ISSUE DETECTION
Machine vision and AI applications convert raw data into actionable insights, enabling early anomaly detection and prompt responses, reducing downtimes.
The challenge
Electrical substations, vital nodes in power generation and distribution, face inherent challenges in inspection and maintenance due to their remote and hazardous environments. Overcoming labor shortages, accessing remote locations, and meeting stringent compliance standards are constant hurdles. Traditional methods, relying on manual inspections or fixed cameras, fall short in addressing these complexities.
Labor Shortage
Finding and retaining qualified personnel is a persistent challenge, impacting the effectiveness of manual inspection.
remote locations
Usually, electrical substations are based in remote places which makes them hard to reach, and inspections costly to conduct.

monitoring multiple systems

Even smaller substations have numerous parts prone to failure, requiring periodic inspections or expensive wired sensors for monitoring.
The solution
Revolutionize substation inspections with the deployment of autonomous mobile robots from Capra Robotics. We offer automated actionable insights to minimize downtime in power facilities.
Autonomous Navigation
Our robots navigate through full 3D localization, perform inspection tasks, and autonomous route repetition.
Teleoperation
Teleoperate robots located in industrial sites across the globe with minimal latency to diverge from the route and inspect points of interest in an instant.
AI-Powered
Detect valves, switches, and gauge readings via the robot’s cameras and convert the raw data into actionable insights.
Intuitive User Interface
The user interface is intuitive, browser-based, and site-centric. No installation or training required to use the platform.
Integrate Seamlessly, Scale Efficiently
CAPRA SCOUT seamlessly integrates into existing infrastructure, enabling effortless scalability without operational disruption. This ensures optimized resource utilization for substation inspection.
How it works
1
Planning Phase
Assess requirements, select/configure robots, and set up mapping/navigation.
2
Pre-inspection Preparation
Deploy and calibrate robots within the substation.
3
Inspection Execution
Robots collect data while operators monitor operations in real-time.
4
Data Analysis and Interpretation
Process data, detect anomalies using AI, and generate action items.
5
Post-Inspection Actions
Prioritize issues and plan maintenance based on inspection results.
6
Continuous Improvement
Integrate feedback for route optimization.
