Overview
Reimagining condition-based vegetation management
Proper asset management is crucial but established remediation techniques and processes are inefficient and tend to adversely affect system costs and overall safety and reliability.
Vegetation Management is an end-to-end solution that leverages AI, satellite images, LiDAR and more to regularly assess and monitor vegetation. This helps improve work prioritization and decision-making from planning all the way through work inspection and auditing.

Vegetation management in action
Pedernales Electric Co-op creates savings and safety
The Pedernales Electric Co-op devotes millions of its annual budget to trimming vegetation near Texas power lines. By using IBM Vegetation Management, the Co-op is able to create smarter surveys — with overlays that effectively combine satellite imagery with property maps.
Benefits
Scale
Automatically assess vegetation growth occurring near hundreds of miles of power lines.
Frequency
Prioritize areas where condition-based vegetation management can improve network reliability.
Cost efficiency
Optimize operational costs by limiting manual vegetation inspection and costly cycle-based tree trimming.
