PLP, a global leader in developing innovative infrastructure solutions for electric power systems, has officially announced the launch of world’s first ever self-service drone kit, which is designed to support the installation of diverters on overhead power lines.
According to certain reports, named as RAPTOR CLAMP™ Drone Kit, the stated product makes it possible for electric utilities and contractors to safely and efficiently install PLP RAPTOR CLAMP Diverters via a simple-to-use DIY accessory kit that, markedly enough, can be seamlessly attached to DJI M300/M350 drones, widely used and popular drone models currently employed by utilities worldwide.
More on the same would reveal how RAPTOR CLAMP Drone Kit provides a significant advantage in aerial power line maintenance, and therefore, delivers several key benefits and features.
Talk about these benefits and features on a slightly deeper level, we begin from its promise to provide Revolutionary Line Marker Installation. You see, the RAPTOR CLAMP Drone Kit, at launch, would be the first of its kind to enable off-the-shelf DJI M300/M350 drones for the overarching purpose of installing diverters, diverters. Such a setup helps prevent collisions with power lines and reduces potential outages.
Next up, there is the potential for greater safety. In essence, the mechanism to safely and effectively install relevant devices via drone cuts down on lineworker exposure to reduce potential safety hazards, and at the same time, eliminates the need for traditional installation methods, such as via bucket truck or helicopter.
Markedly enough, the technology in question can tread up a long distance in regards to doubling the value of your drone investment. We get to say so because utilities and contractors stand to gain here a second essential use case for M300/M350 drones by integrating the RAPTOR CLAMP Drone Kit into their existing programs. This, like you can guess, maximizes the return on investment for drone operators and allows utilities to perform installations at their convenience.
Apart from that, you can also install multiple diverters quickly. PLP’s Drone Kit is basically designed to carry and install multiple RAPTOR CLAMP Diverters in a single flight, something which helps in improving productivity by a rather dramatic margin.
Rounding up highlights would be the technology’s quick change carriage system. This quick-change carriage system, on its part, empowers operators to reload diverters quickly and efficiently so to minimize downtime and maximize throughput.
As for availability, PLP’s new drone kit is currently available for purchase worldwide through the company’s global sales and support network.
Founded back in 1947, PLP’s rise up the ranks stems from protecting the world’s most critical connections using stronger and more reliable networks. The company is presently trusted by energy and communications leaders across the world, and its excellence in serving them can be understood once you consider PLP has, thus far, managed to establish a strong foothold in over 20 different countries.
