Inspect every pole. Catch every defect.

Drone-and-AI inspection for telegraph and utility pole networks — automated detection, defect analysis and a live digital asset record at scale.

Overview

Intelligence for telecom

Inspecting a pole network by truck and climber is slow, costly and dangerous — and by the time a defect is logged, it can already be a safety or outage risk.

Orman flies the line instead. Our models automatically detect and geolocate every pole, grade its condition, and surface defects like cracks, rot, lean and damage — building a searchable digital record of the whole network from routine drone footage.

Capabilities

What Orman detects

One flight, a full picture — every capability below runs on the same drone footage.

Pole Detection & Geolocation

Automatically detect and pinpoint every telegraph and utility pole along the route with precise coordinates.

Defect & Damage Detection

Identify cracks, rot, splitting, lean, woodpecker and impact damage from high-resolution imagery.

Attachment & Equipment Audit

Catalogue attachments, cabling and hardware to keep asset records accurate and complete.

Vegetation Encroachment

Flag trees and growth encroaching on lines to prioritise clearance before they cause faults.

Condition Scoring

Score and rank poles by severity so crews are dispatched to the highest-risk assets first.

Digital Asset Register

Turn every survey into a living, searchable database of pole locations, conditions and history.

Use Cases

How teams put it to work

A closer look at what Telecom teams solve with Orman.

01

Telegraph Pole Detection

Automatically detect, count and geolocate every pole across the network — replacing manual, truck-based surveys with a single flight.

Discuss this use case

What you get

  • Automatic detection and counting of every pole on the route
  • Precise GPS coordinates for each asset
  • Reconciliation against your existing asset register
  • Whole-network coverage from routine drone footage
02

Pole Defect Detection

Grade each pole and surface defects such as cracks, rot, lean and impact damage, so maintenance is targeted where it matters most.

Discuss this use case

What you get

  • Detects cracks, splitting, rot and decay
  • Flags lean, impact and woodpecker damage
  • Severity scoring to prioritise replacements
  • Photographic evidence attached to every finding
How It Works

From drone to decision in three steps

1

Capture

Fly a standard drone over the site — no specialist hardware or crews required.

2

Analyse

Orman's AI models process the footage automatically, detecting and grading every asset.

3

Report

Explore results in an interactive dashboard and export auditable, shareable reports.
