ANRA Technologies, a provider of uncrewed traffic management (UTM) and operational solutions, successfully demonstrated its advanced drone inspection capabilities at the New York Power Authority’s (NYPA) facility in White Plains, NY. 

The event, held on August 1, featured live drone operations and showcased ANRA’s Mission Manager software to NYPA executives and invited guests.

The demonstration highlighted the potential for drones to enhance utility inspections. Utilizing multiple drones, ANRA displayed the advanced features of its Mission Manager software, including real-time monitoring, tracking of multiple drone operations, and streaming live video feeds – all coordinated by ANRA’s airspace management capability. 

Attendees observed various drone operations, including linear inspections and property security monitoring, all coordinated and displayed from the Operations Center. The Mission Manager software provided secure and encrypted live video streams and real-time data.

The demonstration also highlighted how ANRA’s Mission Manager will assist NYPA in expanding its drone operations. By leveraging the comprehensive monitoring and tracking capabilities of the software, NYPA is set to enhance its inspection routines, improve response times, and reduce operational costs. 

The demonstration was observed at NYPA’s Integrated Smart Operations Center, a facility designed to leverage data and digital tools to monitor NYPA’s asset infrastructure and operations.

ANRA Technologies has been supporting NYPA’s drone operations since 2022, helping to integrate advanced drone management solutions into their infrastructure.

Peter Kalaitzidis, NYPA Robotics Program Manager, commented, “ANRA’s technology offers a transformative approach to our inspection processes, ensuring greater safety and efficiency. We are excited about the possibilities this partnership holds for the future of UAS Operations.

“With the FAA waiver, we can deploy drones for more extensive inspections without the limitations of visual line of sight. ANRA’s Mission Manager will be instrumental in managing these expanded operations safely and efficiently.

“Our strategic vision is centered on leveraging technology to improve our operations and customer service. Integrating ANRA’s Mission Manager into our UAS based inspection processes is a significant step towards achieving our vision of being a fully digital utility.”

Amit Ganjoo, Founder and CEO of ANRA Technologies, added, “This demonstration underscores the capabilities of our Mission Manager software in real-world scenarios. We are proud to support NYPA in pioneering innovative solutions that enhance operational effectiveness and safety.”
