Percepto

Percepto is a leading provider of autonomous inspection and monitoring solutions for industrial sites. Their flagship offering, Percepto AIM (Autonomous Inspection and Monitoring), is an end-to-end visual inspection platform powered by autonomous drones, robots, and AI. It automates the entire workflow from data capture to analysis, enabling continuous monitoring and early detection of issues like gas leaks, overheating, and infrastructure deterioration.

At the core of Percepto AIM is the Percepto Air drone-in-a-box portfolio, a ruggedized and weatherproof drone solution capable of autonomous operations. The drones are equipped with high-resolution RGB and thermal cameras, and leverage advanced machine learning for autonomous navigation and data analysis. Percepto's drones have undergone rigorous testing, including Level five hurricane wind resistance of up to 155 mph, ensuring reliable performance in harsh environments.

Percepto's solutions are designed to minimize downtime, increase operational efficiency, enhance safety, and reduce costs for critical infrastructure across industries such as oil & gas, utilities, renewable energy, mining, and heavy industry. As of April 2024, the company secured a groundbreaking Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) approval from German aviation authorities, enabling fully automated drone operations in controlled airspaces without on-site observers.

Key customers and partnerships

Percepto's autonomous inspection and monitoring solutions have been adopted by Fortune 500 companies across six continents, including Siemens Energy, Delek US, Koch Fertilizer, ICL Dead Sea Works, and Verizon. In November 2023, the company received a nationwide waiver from the FAA to operate up to 30 autonomous drones simultaneously with a single operator, enabling large-scale deployments for critical infrastructure inspection.

In April 2022, Percepto announced a landmark partnership with Florida Power & Light (FPL), one of the largest power companies in the US. The arrangement, hailed as the world's largest commercial autonomous drone project, involves deploying hundreds of Percepto's drones to monitor FPL's substations and power distribution grids across Florida over the next five years.
