SenseHawk Solutions
The features of a product or service can say a lot about its valuable benefits however, your end goal is always to solve a problem or meet a need with the product or service in hand. Let’s have a look at all that’s in it for:
A. Asset Manager
Digitalize & organize asset data and processes
Your asset generates a huge amount of data across the lifecycle - SCADA data, terrain maps, design documents, contracts, component information like serial numbers, warranty documents, site activity-related data, and more. Capturing, organizing, and storing this data to facilitate quick retrieval and advanced analytics is a challenge. SenseHawk tackles this challenge using a combination of drone data analytics and workflow applications Terra, Work, Files, and Senshawk App to capture and organize data around a Digital Twin of your solar asset. This mode of data collection and organization enables the creation of a solar plant's machine learning-based comprehensive performance models. The result - is considerable improvements in productivity and improvement in asset returns.
B. O&M Manager
Increase generation and manage plant health
A solar plant has many discrete components - panels, combiner boxes, and inverters that should ideally be monitored periodically for performance and health using thermography. But conducting thermography of so many discrete components, analyzing the data, acting on it effectively, and storing it to capture trends over time requires specialized software. SenseHawk applications Therm, Work, and Sensehawk App effectively address this problem for you. Our solutions enable you to:
● Process large number of thermal images easily
● Detect and classify hotspots automatically with AI algorithms
● Visualize hotspots on maps of the plant with overlaid string and table numbers
● Use App for investigation and for taking corrective actions on site
● Create work orders instantaneously from the field using Tasks
● Collaborate with multiple stakeholders seamlessly
● Analyze trends over time automatically
C. Land Developer & PV Engineer
Streamline land development
Sourcing, evaluating, and managing land parcels for solar projects is a cumbersome task. SenseHawk applications Terra, Files, and Sensehawk App help ease the burden. Our solutions enable you to:
● Manage all sites through an easy-to-use cloud-based GIS-enabled interface
● Visualize sites in low resolution (Google Maps) or high resolution (Drone Data)
● Measure site contours, levels, grading requirements, and hydrology characteristics
● Detect unique terrain features using AI-based analytics
● Capture land documents and other sites related information tagged to site features
using Files
● Use App to view a site on a mobile device, add comments, capture additional pictures &
features of the site while walking on your site
● Share site information seamlessly with design teams, contractors, and lenders through a
web-based login
D. Project Manager
Manage construction more effectively
As a construction manager, keeping track of progress and construction quality across a large solar site spanning hundreds of hectares is daunting. SenseHawk applications Terra, Files, Work, and Sensehawk App makes it easier by leveraging Artificial Intelligence and Drone technology to provide unprecedented visibility to your construction site and enable you to
manage construction effectively through an easy-to-use web interface. Our solutions enable you to:
● Visualize site status clearly with high-resolution orthomosaic maps
● Detect important features automatically with AI algorithms
● Measure quantities, alignment, levels, and dimensions with high accuracy
● Access critical documents on-site and off-site easily and intuitively using Files
● Use App to view the sitemap on a mobile device, access documents in the field, fill out
checklists and punch lists, and much more
● Create work orders from the field using Tasks
● Collaborate with multiple stakeholders working on the site with a single version of the truth
● Generate as-built vs. design comparison as a record of reference for contracts as well as
insurance
E. Lender & Insurance Provider
Conduct quick diligence on solar assets
Conducting diligence of solar assets can be daunting - drones can deliver high-quality physical asset diligence with a short turnaround time. SenseHawk applications Terra, Therm, Work, and Sensehawk App help ensure rapid on and off-site diligence, combined with analytics and reporting. Our solutions enable you to:
● Get accurate as-built and current state of the plant with a high-resolution visual scan
● Accurately confirm DC capacity with ML-based image analytics
● Conduct thermal scans and analytics to detect PID and other panel health issues
● Assess post-construction contours and related drainage/hydrology characteristics
