About
About Arkion
Arkion ingests inspection imagery and spatial data from drones, helicopters, vehicles and field teams, then converts it into a structured model of a utility network. Its analytics process RGB, thermal and LiDAR inputs to identify components, detect defects, measure vegetation proximity and anonymize sensitive imagery. Findings link directly to the operator’s GIS, asset records and maintenance workflows.
Utilities use the platform across distribution and transmission inspections, inventory programmes and post-disaster assessment. Arkion’s workflow covers data upload, automated analysis, human review and export into planning or work-order systems. Formerly Skyqraft, the company reports work with more than 40 utilities and operates the service through a secured cloud environment.

Timeline
Events
- 2025-04-24 - Contract Award - Arkion to assess 2.5M Energisa transmission and distribution structures
The multi-year program covers 2.5 million grid structures and integrates data including drone imagery and LiDAR into Arkion's asset-analytics platform. Arkion's assessments are intended to detect defects earlier, reduce operational risk and guide long-term maintenance and investment decisions. Energisa operates across nine electricity distributors and serves more than 20 million customers in Brazil.
