Utilities are collecting more inspection data than ever before - but turning that data into actionable intelligence remains a challenge. Join Dominion Energy, Buzz Solutions, and Skydio for a real-world case study on how drone-based inspections and AI-powered analytics are transforming utility asset management. Learn how Dominion transitioned from traditional inspection methods to drone-enabled workflows, resulting in broader asset visibility, improved inspection quality, and the identification of issues that may have otherwise gone undetected. Then discover how adding AI-driven image analysis further amplified those results, helping teams uncover additional defects, prioritize risk, and make more informed maintenance decisions. This session will explore the operational, engineering, and data challenges of scaling visual inspections and demonstrate how combining drones and AI can help utilities move from data collection to data-driven action.

Session Takeaways:
•        Assess whether your current data architecture can support AI workloads at enterprise scale without custom infrastructure
•        Describe the native governance capabilities required to scale AI across business functions while satisfying risk and compliance requirements
•        Design an evaluation framework for your next platform investment tied to controllable financial outcomes
