The autonomous data collection platform project was successfully implemented with funding from Norway grants

AISPECO, a Lithuanian company UAB, together with its partner eSmart Systems AS, whose head office is established in Norway, implemented the Smart Falcon autonomous data collection platform project (LT07-1-EIM-K02-007). This project was jointly financed by Norwegian financial mechanisms and the Republic of Lithuania, under the Business Development, Innovation and SME Program.

The basis of AISPECO, UAB’s activity is the production of sensor systems for monitoring the infrastructure of electricity networks. The main specialization is systems for aerial monitoring and are usually installed on helicopters. The company eSmart Systems AS develops and provides new generation software solutions for power line monitoring, network maintenance planning and energy flexibility optimization. Using solutions based on artificial intelligence, services are provided to energy companies around the world, saving these companies costs and extending the safe life of infrastructure.

The project, funded by Norwegian financial mechanisms and the Republic of Lithuania, under the Business Development, Innovation and SME Program, was successfully implemented and completed in 2024. April 30 During the execution of the project, a new generation autonomous data collection platform “Smart Falcon” was created. It is a powerful yet highly miniaturized sensor control and operation system that can be mounted on a fast moving or flying object (car, helicopter, drone). The operating system of the device is based on artificial intelligence, which analyzes the collected data in real or near-real time, identifies possible errors in the operator’s work, sensors, navigation, etc., and ensures optimal quality control in real time. This system consists of two essential components – hardware and operating system, which can be commercialized separately and together. During the project, the technical equipment – a sensor system with robotic camera control elements – was developed by the company AISPECO, UAB. The artificial intelligence operating system, which analyzes sensor data and predicts the relevant parameters, was developed by the company eSmart Systems. In general, the “Smart falcon” system successfully developed during the project will allow customers to reduce flight costs by about 30%, ensure better image and collected data quality, automate part of the operator’s work and require less human resources.
