The Tech Behind Sheltera

Our innovative process begins with high-resolution, multispectral satellite imagery to evaluate foliage density and tree health. However, relying solely on satellite images can lead to false positives, identifying issues where there is ample vertical separation between tree canopies and power lines. To enhance accuracy, we integrate satellite imaging with LiDAR technology, which pinpoints foliage at the same height as power lines. Our cutting-edge artificial intelligence allows us to detect problems quickly and at a significantly reduced cost, making smart vegetation management accessible to all utilities, including municipalities and small rural cooperatives. Recognizing the diverse approaches utilities take toward threats, tree preservation, and private property access, we customize our assessments to meet your specific requirements. After initial customization, we achieve an impressive 95% accuracy rate. Optimize your tree management with our advanced solutions today!

What Our Platform Offers

Our software empowers your vegetation management team by providing them with a Heat Map highlighting problematic tree clusters and a comprehensive dashboard for job bidding and resource mobilization. Our Threat Code system prioritizes issues effectively. Street View images of each threat enable precise equipment planning, ensuring the right resources are dispatched. In the field, our integrated mobile app allows crews to navigate job sites using GPS, create work orders, estimate and bid on jobs, capture before/after photos, and document completed tasks. Time-stamped documentation provides clear evidence to reduce liability and confirm local code compliance.
