About eSmart Systems
eSmart Systems is a Norwegian software company serving electric-grid inspection and asset management. Grid Vision combines image and asset data into a digital representation of utility infrastructure, while its computer-vision models identify defects from inspection imagery. The platform is hardware-agnostic: imagery can come from drones, helicopters, ground teams and other capture methods.
Its robotics relevance is the analysis layer of autonomous and remotely operated inspection workflows, not manufacture of drones or onboard flight autonomy. In the UK Project VOLT trial, eSmart Systems is providing AI analysis for footage from Skyports drone-in-a-box inspections at electricity substations.
Team
- Joscha Köllner - Vice President, Commercial - Leads commercial activity around Grid Vision inspection analytics and utility programmes including Project VOLT.

- 2026-09-23 - Partnership - eSmart joins Project VOLT drone-in-box grid inspection pilot
The project will deploy four drone-in-box systems for rapid-response fault finding and asset-condition monitoring. Skyports pilots the aircraft beyond visual line of sight from more than 200 miles away. eSmart processes captured imagery through Grid Vision; the company says its software serves more than 75 utilities.
