Your centralized data hub
All inspection data—2D, thermal, and LiDAR—is organized and accessible in one secure platform. View images, measurements, and analytics side by side, ensuring full traceability and a clear audit trail for every asset.
Built to fit your process
Built for power grids and made with seamless integrations connecting Arkion directly to asset management systems. Insights, images, and defect data flow automatically—turning findings into work orders, reducing time-to-action and improving reliability.
How it works
Arkion is built to fit with your inspection methods, from data capture to a work order being issued
Data collected by you or your partners, via drone, helicopter, or any other method is uploaded to Arkion's secure cloud environment.
AI models identifay and classify every component and defect, rapidly turning inspection data into structured, searchable, and actionable insights.
As soon as the data is analyzed, it is made available for you to review and plan actions. With integrations to your work order system this can be done via Arkion or in your ASM of choice.
From your feedback on the data, our AI models are retrained to improve and provide better and better insights for you, combining risk mitigating actions from the data you have and improving future data.

FAQ
Arkion integrates with most leading Asset Management Systems (AMS), GIS, and work-order tools through a secure two-way API. Common integrations include SAP, Trimble, Maximo, and ArcGIS, among others, enabling seamless data flow between systems.
Getting started involves three simple steps: 1) Data Review – Arkion reviews your existing data for quality and compatibility. 2) Pilot Analysis – A limited-scope pilot demonstrates analysis accuracy and workflow integration. 3) Scale-Up – The solution is rolled out across your grid, with dashboards, reports, and integrations configured to your needs.
Arkion is a secure, browser-based platform. Users can log in to review data, filter insights, and plan actions through an intuitive map interface and dashboards. Results can also be exported as reports or pushed directly into enterprise systems via API.
Not usually. Arkion maintains a library of more than 100 trained models that cover common components and defect types. These can be immediately applied during onboarding. Custom development is reserved for unique equipment types or conditions outside the existing dataset.
Arkion’s platform supports all major inspection and analytics use cases, including maintenance, vegetation management, asset inventory, and post-storm assessments — across low-, medium-, and high-voltage networks. Additional models can be developed for specialized needs.
Arkion typically requires geotagged imagery or LiDAR data, along with structure metadata such as pole IDs or coordinates. Optional inputs like thermal imagery or flight logs can enhance results but are not mandatory.
Arkion supports industry-standard formats including JPEG, TIFF, PNG, and GeoTIFF for images, LAS/LAZ for LiDAR, and CSV or shapefile-based metadata. The platform can also connect directly to cloud storage or API-based data feeds for seamless ingestion.
Model retraining or fine-tuning is included in service agreements when needed to maintain performance. For new object types or regions requiring dedicated dataset development, Arkion may propose a scoped AI model development project.
Yes. Arkion’s in-house AI and electrical-engineering experts regularly develop custom models for utilities with unique assets or inspection needs. These models are integrated into the platform and benefit from Arkion’s full QA and visualization ecosystem.
