See every fault before it fails with AI defect detection
Arkion’s AI-powered defect detection identifies and classifies faults across transmission and distribution grids—automatically, precisely, and at scale. Built on millions of power grid images, our models detect more defects, reduce risk, and help you prioritize repairs where they matter most.
Driving better grid reliability with better data
More critical defects found
Reduced defect detection cost per defect
Reduced inspection time per asset
Scalable digital inspections
Arkion works globally, and can help you find more defects whatever your region or circumstances. Either pre-trained, fine-tuned, or modelled from scratch, Arkion can deliver the AI you need to reach scalable and efficient AI operations.
Every fault, automatically identified
Arkion’s AI detects hundreds of component-level defects—trained on diverse environments, voltages, and asset types. Each detection is verified through human-in-the-loop review to ensure accuracy and consistency across all grid types.
Detect even fine hairline fractures on pin and suspension insulators.
Identify wood rot, deformation, and mechanical stress.
Detect hot spots and cold links from thermal imagery for predictive maintenance.
Track rust development on lattice structures and metallic fittings over time.
AI for Transmission and Distribution grids
Distribution defects
For low- and medium-voltage networks, Arkion’s AI models detect common and critical issues affecting poles, crossarms, and distribution hardware—automatically and with high accuracy.
Transmission defects
Arkion’s transmission-focused models detect defects specific to large-scale infrastructure, enabling operators to maintain reliability across vast networks.

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.
