Partnership pairs Gresco's drone equipment, training, and field support with Unleash Live's Autofly and Computer Vision applications for utility and energy customers across the United States
FORSYTH, Ga., Sep 15, 2026. Unleash Live, an Enterprise Industrial Computer Vision Platform for critical infrastructure and asset-intensive operators, and Gresco, a longstanding provider of unmanned aerial systems equipment, training, and support to the US utility and energy industry, today announced a partnership to bring structured inspection data capture and analysis to Gresco's utility and energy customers.
Under the partnership, Gresco and Unleash Live give utility and energy operators a single, integrated partner for production-grade drone hardware and computer vision software, removing the need to manage separate vendors to get from equipment to actionable inspection data. Gresco is featuring Unleash Live on its solutions page for customers evaluating or expanding drone-based inspection programs, and will refer qualified opportunities to Unleash Live's US sales team. Gresco customers operating DJI and other supported drone hardware can pair their existing fleet with Autofly, Unleash Live's automated mission planning and data capture capability, with the resulting imagery processed by Unleash Live's computer vision applications to detect faults and anomalies and route results to asset management teams for review and action.
Drone hardware has become widely available across the utility and energy sector, but for many operators, the volume of imagery it produces has outpaced their teams' capacity to review it manually, creating a growing backlog of unreviewed inspection data and, with it, exposure to missed defects and delayed compliance reporting. The partnership gives Gresco customers a path from data capture to actionable inspection results, reducing manual review overhead without adding a separate technology vendor relationship to manage.
"Gresco has built its business on getting utility and energy customers the best drone equipment and support. This partnership means those same customers can also gain significant value from the imagery their drone programs produce," said Hanno Blankenstein, Group CEO of Unleash Live.
“As drone programs grow, organizations need practical ways to manage inspection data and put it to work. Unleash Live helps teams organize that information into a consistent format, supporting efficient workflows and timely, informed decision-making,” said Allen Wheeler, Manager of UAS Customer and Vendor Success at Gresco.
