FulcrumAir sees a future where many of the tasks performed in a high wire environment will be done with robotic tools. We partner with major component manufacturers to develop robot installation methods for some of the most commonly used fittings in the industry. Development is underway and new robotic tools will be introduced in 2023. Additional robotic tools are in the early planning stages – these inventions will have applicability for maintenance of the existing network and to assist in new builds.
A critical portion of the solution is the ability to place the robotic tools where they are needed. This is accomplished through FulcrumAir’s industry leading UAS and proprietary swing stabilization technology, allowing us to operate in high winds and difficult conditions with precision placement and control.
All the design and engineering work is done in Calgary, Canada by our engineers. To date, we have invested over 40,000 hours into research, design, engineering, testing, and evaluation. This work is continuing at an accelerated pace, with over 10,000 additional R&D hours invested annually, solidifying our commitment to constant innovation.
Our robots dramatically reduce the need for manned aircraft, including helicopters. Not only does this increase safety, but it also significantly reduces the overall cost of operations.
High wire environments present safety risks to linemen, and there are many spans that are very difficult to access. Our robots bring everything within reach.
We’re committed to the highest quality of design and engineering. Our robots are the crown jewels of FulcrumAir’s capabilities, engineered for ensuring safety and precision in the powerline industry.
Our robots and UASs are unmanned and remotely controlled, there are no humans in harms way. Keep your linemen safe and reduce risk and liability.
