UVM Backed by the Power of AI
Sheltera’s intelligent platform is transforming how organizations approach utility vegetation management. By seamlessly combining multiple data sources, such as satellite imagery, LiDAR scans, and historical data, into a single, unified operational system, it offers a comprehensive view of your entire network.
​
Leveraging advanced artificial intelligence and predictive analytics, Sheltera empowers teams to proactively identify potential vegetation threats well before they escalate into costly operational disruptions. This forward-looking approach shifts strategies from reactive to preventive.
​​
Remote Sensing Via Satellites
Our platform utilizes high-resolution multispectral satellite imagery, providing unparalleled visibility across vast service territories. This allows organizations to efficiently monitor vegetation health and growth conditions at scale, without the need for constant on-the-ground inspections.
​
This remote sensing technology enables utilities to pinpoint specific vegetation threats that could affect their utility vegetation management programs and railway vegetation control operations, allowing for more targeted and effective interventions.
​
The Forefront of LiDAR Imagery
To further enhance precision, our platform incorporates cutting-edge LiDAR technology. By measuring the precise vertical and horizontal relationship between vegetation and infrastructure, LiDAR improves the accuracy of threat detection.
​
This powerful capability ensures the exact detection of any vegetation encroachment that could endanger transmission lines, distribution networks, rail corridors, and other pieces of critical infrastructure that are vital to utility companies.
Why Reliable Utility Vegetation Management is Critical to Safe, Effective Business Operations
Vegetation overgrowth is a primary and significant cause of power outages, costly infrastructure damage, and heightened wildfire risk, particularly across widespread electric utility networks and vital transportation systems.
​
As this critical infrastructure continues to age and the frequency of extreme weather events increases, the need for effective utility vegetation management has become more essential than ever for maintaining safe, continuous, and reliable day-to-day operations.
​
Unfortunately, many traditional inspection and trimming cycles are outdated. They often depend heavily on slow manual processes, low-quality or obsolete imagery, and reactive maintenance strategies that only address problems after they occur. Sheltera is designed to replace these inherent limitations with a modern, data-driven vegetation management solution. Our approach empowers organizations to proactively detect potential risks much earlier and respond to threats with greater speed and precision.
Transform the Way You Manage Vegetation
Vegetation-related risk is a persistent and growing challenge for utilities, rail operators, and various infrastructure providers, especially as networks continue to expand and environmental conditions become more unpredictable. Managing this risk effectively is crucial for maintaining service reliability and public safety.
Organizations that proactively adopt intelligent vegetation technology are better equipped to face these challenges. By doing so, they gain the ability to preemptively manage risk, protect critical infrastructure from potential damage, and significantly improve overall operational efficiency.
Sheltera offers a comprehensive solution to help organizations achieve these goals. We strengthen your Utility Vegetation Management (UVM) programs with smarter, data-driven insights and help ensure safety and efficiency. By implementing our modern, AI-powered Vegetation Management Solution, you'll be equipped to handle today's complex challenges.
Unparalleled Accuracy and Results at Your Fingertips
A Practical UVM Option That Delivers
Maintaining safe and reliable infrastructure requires faster, more frequent vegetation surveys. Sheltera’s proprietary AI allows utilities and infrastructure operators to survey entire grids in days or weeks—not months.
Our Vegetation Management Solution supports Hardening the Grid and storm hardening initiatives, empowering utility providers to act quickly, make informed decisions, and reduce outage risk. Sheltera can even update your map territory-wide as vegetation changes, ensuring ongoing readiness and proactive infrastructure protection.
Problems Get Detected & Highlighted Quickly
Sheltera grades vegetation threats using a 5-point risk scale, providing utilities and rail operators with actionable insights. This ensures crews are sent directly to the areas that need attention, maximizing efficiency and impact. By focusing resources on the highest-risk vegetation areas, organizations can better support their utility vegetation management programs.
​
With a high degree of field accuracy, 95% of threats detected by our utility vegetation management software are confirmed on-site, ensuring that interventions are both incredibly precise and effective.
Sheltera's App Empowers Your Crews
Our mobile platform equips field teams with the tools they need to address vegetation threats near power lines, railways, and other critical infrastructure. Sheltera's app promotes better planning and safety, so that crews can work more efficiently.
We also provide tools to estimate, photograph, annotate, and report on vegetation conditions in real time; perfect for forestry services, vegetation control, and infrastructure protection. With Sheltera, crews can work smarter, faster, and safer, ensuring all vegetation management efforts align with organizational goals and regulatory compliance.
