Percepto's AI Drones Enhance Chevron's Remote Inspections

Percepto and Chevron have reached a six-month milestone in their collaboration to evaluate AI-powered remote inspection capabilities, announced in a press release. The project, which began near Midland, Texas, aims to enhance operational efficiency and workforce safety through the use of autonomous drones.

Chevron has deployed a second Percepto system in Colorado and is exploring further opportunities for this technology. The AI-driven drones conduct automated missions and provide real-time alerts for any anomalies detected, reducing the need for personnel to travel to remote sites. This approach not only saves work hours but also allows for faster issue detection and response.

The integration of Percepto's technology with other facility management systems, such as remotely operated valves and sensors, has shown potential in optimizing operations without increasing workload. Chevron's early success with this technology underscores its commitment to adopting cutting-edge solutions for operational excellence.
