What Our Customers Say

Trusted by leading utilities.

The drone is easy to land for an experienced pilot and extremely versatile. Whether it's ice monitoring in winter or temperature surveillance in summer – I can deploy it exactly where it's needed.

Leif Petersen, Spezialservice Strom

The drone already functions on live conductor cables, and based on the measured real-time data, we expect concrete added value for grid operation.

Frederik Puhe, Innovation Lead

Quote

The combination of drone and power line landing is unique. It allows us to capture data that was previously only available with significant effort or not at all – and plan deployments much more effectively.

USE Cases

One platform. Many missions.

00

Dispatched to the line

The NOMAD flies out to the span that needs eyes on it. No planned outage, no bucket truck, no crew on the tower.

DispatchableNo outages
01

Docking onto the conductor

The NOMAD lands directly on the live line and docks itself, in under five minutes.

Under 5 minutesLive line
02

Locked on and charging

The core closes around the conductor, the propellers stop, and the NOMAD charges inductively from the line's magnetic field, 24/7.

Inductive chargingWind resistant
03

Cellular uplink

Measurements leave the line over a secure cellular link and land in your Nomadic OS as they happen.

Secure grid connectivityReal time
04

Line current

A current sensor around the conductor measures the load flowing through the line, continuously.

LoadFault events
05

Conductor temperature

Measured on the conductor itself instead of estimated from the weather: the basis for Dynamic Line Rating.

Dynamic Line Rating
06

Vibration

The NOMAD feels what the line feels. Wind-induced vibration and galloping are recorded before they fatigue the conductor.

07

Off to the next span

Job done here? The core opens, the NOMAD lifts off the live conductor and flies on to the next span that needs it.

Core Capability

On-conductor sensing. 24/7.

True grid visibility comes from the wire itself. The Nomad locks directly onto the high-voltage conductor, using the line's own electromagnetic field to power itself continuously. Because it monitors directly from the source, your team receives exact, real-time data on temperature, sag, and vibration. This means you no longer have to guess your line's true capacity based on weather forecasts.

USE Cases

One dashboard for
your entire fleet.

Monitor all assets, view live camera feeds, track drone positions, and access real-time sensor data from anywhere.

Technology

Engineered for the harshest environments.

Engineered in Germany to withstand severe weather, corona discharges, and heavy electromagnetic interference (EMI). Rigorously tested in high-voltage laboratories and field-proven on active 380kV grids down to -25°C. Once locked onto the conductor, it is resistant to high winds.

How it works

01

Dock

Land directly onto energized lines in under 5 minutes. No planned outages or line de-energization required.

02

Sense & Charge

Charge inductively from the line’s electromagnetic field while collecting continuous, 24/7 telemetry.

03

Relocate

Autonomously dispatch and relocate the fleet to monitor incoming storm fronts, changing loads, or active wildfire threats. Stop waiting for risks to find your sensors.
