Wildfires pose a significant threat to utility infrastructure and demand innovative approaches to mitigation as climate change increases their frequency. This talk explores cutting-edge technologies and strategies that enhance wildfire preparedness and response within the utility sector. Attendees will learn about the integration of drones and remote operations in monitoring and safeguarding utility assets. Real-world case studies will illustrate approaches from the field and highlight best practices that reduce wildfire risks and improve the safety and reliability of essential services.

As extreme weather events become more frequent, the utility and transportation sectors must adapt to ensure resilient and efficient disaster response. In this session attendees will learn how remote monitoring and automated technologies can improve response times, enhance situational awareness, and improve worker safety during storms. Case studies and real-world examples will demonstrate the significant benefits of remote operations in maintaining service continuity, minimizing damage, and developing pre and post-event assessment strategies.

With Skydio Dock and Remote Ops, Dominion Energy is able to inspect any asset at any time, from a computer anywhere in the world — and it’s changing their operations. Aging infrastructure, limited resources, natural disasters, and budget constraints complicate asset inspection. With Skydio's dock-based drone technology, Dominion Energy has found an easier way to understand the condition of assets. They remotely launch a self-flying drone from a computer, get near-instant visibility, and make informed decisions in minutes — without leaving their desks. Watch our live demo + Q&A session to see a real-time remote substation inspection, and hear T.F. Butler, Dominion Energy’s Unmanned Systems Group Manager, explain how and why his program relies on remote asset inspection: ✅ Near Real-Time Data. Anytime. Anywhere. ✅ Reduce O&M expense: Conduct routine or event-based inspections from a computer, make informed decisions in minutes. ✅ Better Resource Allocation: No more unnecessary truck rolls — allocate crews more effectively. ✅ Increase Worker Safety: Keep your workers out of harm's way — send intelligent, self-flying drones.

Watch an autonomous drone launch from a dock and inspect a demo substation. Remote assets, aging infrastructure, limited resources, natural disasters, and budget constraints can complicate asset inspection. If you had the ability to inspect any asset at any time, from a web browser anywhere in the world, how would your operations change?
