What We Do

Intelligence at
Every Stage

Five layers of AI-powered analysis transform raw inspection data into prioritized, costed, and trackable business decisions. Hardware-agnostic. Vendor-neutral.

Video Analysis

Process hours of drone footage in minutes. Our computer vision models analyze every frame at sub-pixel resolution, detecting defects invisible to the human eye.

  • Frame-by-frame AI processing at 60fps
  • Thermal & multispectral video support
  • Automatic timestamp + GPS tagging

Image Analysis

High-resolution imagery analysis with 40+ defect classification types. From leading edge erosion on blades to cathodic protection degradation below the waterline.

  • 40+ defect types with severity scoring
  • Before/after comparison across inspections
  • LiDAR point cloud + RJPEG thermal

Contract Intelligence

AI reads your O&M contracts, warranty agreements, and insurance policies. Automatically links each defect to the right obligation, deadline, and financial exposure.

  • Auto-extract warranty & compliance clauses
  • SLA deadline tracking per defect
  • Financial exposure quantification

Remote Asset Monitoring

Monitor hundreds of assets 100+ miles offshore from a single dashboard. Fleet health scoring, predictive alerts, and priority rankings — without leaving the office.

  • Real-time fleet health dashboards
  • Predictive failure scoring per component
  • Multi-site, multi-region portfolio view

Predictive Analytics & Anomaly Detection

ML models predict component failure probability at 3, 6, and 12-month horizons. Fleet-wide anomaly detection catches systemic issues — geographic clustering, model-based defect patterns, and temporal spikes — before they become fleet-wide problems.

  • Failure forecasting & degradation curves
  • Risk scoring with anomaly alerts
  • SCADA data fusion

FAQ

Common questions.

Our computer vision models are trained on 2M+ inspection images across wind turbine blades, platform structures, solar panels, and subsea infrastructure. The system detects cracks, erosion, corrosion, hot spots, and structural anomalies with 99.7% accuracy — then automatically classifies severity and estimates repair cost.

Sonde is platform-agnostic. We support DJI Enterprise (Matrice, Mavic), Skydio, and custom inspection rigs. Data is ingested via standard image/video formats — JPEG, TIFF, MP4, H.265. We also support ROV footage for subsea inspection.

Most operators are live within 2 weeks. We handle data migration, asset configuration, and user training. Your existing inspection archives can be bulk-imported and retroactively analyzed by our AI models.

Absolutely. We're SOC 2 Type II certified and ISO 27001 compliant. All data is encrypted at rest (AES-256) and in transit (TLS 1.3). We support single-tenant deployments for enterprise customers and are GDPR compliant. Data never leaves your chosen region.

Yes. We have pre-built connectors for SAP PM, IBM Maximo, and common SCADA systems. Our API allows custom integrations with any maintenance management platform. Work orders can be auto-generated and synced bidirectionally.

Yes. Sonde supports both above-water and subsea inspection workflows. ROV footage is processed with the same AI pipeline — detecting marine growth, cathodic protection degradation, scour, and structural anomalies on foundations, J-tubes, and cable entries.

Yes. Sonde supports utility-scale solar PV inspection including aerial thermal imaging, electroluminescence analysis, IV curve tracing, and string-level performance monitoring. The platform detects hot spots, cell cracks, diode failures, soiling patterns, and tracker misalignment across your entire solar portfolio.

Our models achieve 99.7% detection accuracy across 40+ defect types. Every AI finding includes a confidence score, and inspectors can accept, reject, or reclassify results. The system learns from reviewer feedback, continuously improving for your specific asset fleet.

Absolutely. Sonde supports custom severity scales, scoring matrices, and classification taxonomies. Map your internal standards — whether DNV, ASTM, or proprietary — directly into the platform so reports and work orders align with your existing O&M processes.

Your data is always yours. On cancellation, you get a 90-day window to export everything — inspection images, reports, defect histories, and analytics — in standard formats. After that, data is securely deleted per our retention policy. No lock-in, ever.

Sonde is built for low-bandwidth environments. Inspection data can be captured and queued offline, then synced automatically when connectivity is restored. Our edge processing compresses and prioritizes uploads so critical findings reach your team first — even on satellite links.
