LACISE project advances AI-based utility pole inspection research at AC/DC Tech Forum

Programming engineer Juris Siņica-Siņavskis, within the framework of the LACISE project, participated in the AC/DC Tech Forum and the MUPSIS* project results presentation event, where short presentations showcased innovation stories from AS “Sadales tīkls” and its cooperation partners on artificial intelligence and other current topics related to power transmission security, with particular emphasis on the wooden utility pole inspection system developed within the project.
During the event, contacts were established with a Norwegian research institution, and further steps were discussed with the distribution system operator (DSO) to continue research under the LACISE project on detecting rot defects in utility poles and developing AI-based algorithms.
*Research project “Mobile Utility Pole Smart Inspection System”.
