Drone Geofencing et Enedis concluent un accord inédit - Blog

Drone Geofencing and Enedis conclude a groundbreaking agreement with a view to increasing the use of drones as part of the monitoring and maintenance of power lines by Enedis technicians

The startup Drone Geofencing, incubated at the BIC INNOV'UP in Nîmes, has just created a management platform called GestaDRONE.

This aims to facilitate the administrative and regulatory procedures inherent in the use of professional drones.

The software solution allows, in particular:

to organize aeronautical activity,
to generate all associated regulatory documentation,
to manage the skills of remote pilots and the fleet of aircraft,
to plan and automate flight requests to the DGAC.

Milko KARANSING, Digital Delegate at Enedis, states: «"The use of GestaDRONE This will simplify compliance with aeronautical regulations within Enedis' operational teams in Languedoc-Roussillon. The productivity of these teams will be optimized through a drastic reduction in administrative procedures. At the same time, thanks to Drone Geofencing software, sharing aerial footage will become much smoother. »

Dominique CHARZAT, Regional Director of Enedis in Languedoc Roussillon, explains: «"This project is closely related to the two other drone projects being carried out by the company: Firedrone, to mobilize a rapid intervention force in the event of a natural disaster that has severely damaged electrical infrastructure, and an AI project enabling the analysis of aerial photographs for preventive maintenance purposes."»

According to Anne Emmanuelle Rousseau, President of BIC Innov'up, the incubator for innovative businesses of the Gard Chamber of Commerce and Industry: «It is a great source of satisfaction for BIC Innov'up that a project from one of its young companies has attracted the interest of a major organization like Enedis: it is this intersection between emerging companies and large corporations that allows us to boost innovation in our regions. The signing of this partnership testifies to the relevance of the proposed project and the quality of the technological developments of this start-up, which has a promising future.»

The deployment of the next version of the Gesta drone softwareDRONE will facilitate the collection of video streams from drones and their real-time availability to Enedis teams. This system is highly anticipated, particularly in crisis management situations.
