Real-Time Asset Inspection in California & Colorado - From 2,800+ Mi. Away
The Old Way: An alert happens. A crew rolls. You wait to understand what’s happening.
The New Way: A remotely docked drone launches automatically. You see the situation live. And act within minutes—not hours.
Remote response with docked drones is now a practical, everyday tool to give you eyes on every asset — anytime, from anywhere. Tune in to see how Skydio Dock for X10 is fast, scalable, and designed for the realities of utility operations - whether you’re conducting a planned inspection or responding to an emergency.
What You'll See:
Remote Operations = workforce multiplier - one remote operator investigating multiple events at multiple sites
Live remote inspections of a real substation, distribution lines/poles, solar panels, and more with docked drones
New Features — real-time GIS overlays, live video streaming, alert pins and more
What You’ll Learn:
How drones help: cut O&M spend, reduce truck rolls, improve safety, and respond faster
Multiple use cases beyond distribution: supporting emergency response, wildfire mitigation, security, and post-storm inspection
This isn’t just for drone teams: it’s built for control centers, engineers, and reliability teams
ABOUT THE SPEAKERS:
Corey Hitchcock, Utility Solutions Specialist @ Skydio
Corey joined Skydio as a utility solutions specialist in early 2023. Prior to Skydio, Corey led UAS Program Development and Operations with Southern Co. Aerial Services. Corey developed methods for operating drones across the nuclear, gas, and power verticals, notably flying one of the first UAS inspections on an operating nuclear reactor. At Skydio, he is developing dock-based drone use cases for autonomous inspections as well as focused routine, event-based, and security inspections for substations. These dock-based inspections are focused on reducing the duration and frequency of outages, allowing for predictive-based maintenance plans to be implemented.
