Polebot continuously measures subtle changes in pole lean and low-frequency structural vibration, giving utilities an entirely new view of how distribution poles behave over time.
Also detects major impacts and sudden pole movement, with cellular delivery in under one minute when service is available.
The gap between inspections
Wind, temperature, soil movement, loading, pests, moisture, storms, and age all influence how a pole moves throughout its service life.
Periodic inspections capture moments. Polebot builds the continuous record in between - with the precision to resolve changes that were previously difficult to observe.
Built to measure change
Polebot combines precision orientation, low-frequency vibration, and event-triggered capture in one field-ready instrument.
Set a reference after installation, then follow gradual relative changes over months or years alongside absolute lean.
Capture low-frequency vibration spectra and resolve subtle shifts in structural response over time.
Event-triggered sampling captures abrupt orientation or acceleration changes from impacts, washout, fallen trees, conductor strikes, or severe storms.
