Orb — Plan

Define once. Execute at scale.

Centralize asset definition, inspection protocols, and mission scheduling into a single governed layer. Every inspection program runs to the same standard — regardless of site, team, or cycle.

Asset Registry

Build and maintain the foundation of your inspection program. Assets are defined with structured attributes, geolocation, and classification — forming the backbone of every inspection workflow and the full condition history.

  • Bulk import of existing records via CSV or API
  • Structured attribute schema by asset class
  • Geospatial location data per asset
  • Full inspection history maintained per asset record
  • Asset classification and tagging for filtering and reporting

Asset registry interface: Asset ID, Class, Location, Last Inspected, Condition Rating. Show breadth and structure.

Mission Planning

Plan inspection missions with asset-level task assignment and geospatial coverage scoping. Built directly from the asset register — missions are scoped, scheduled, and tracked from a single interface, then handed off to Autofly for autonomous execution.

  • Asset-level task assignment and scheduling
  • Coverage area scoping with geospatial visualization
  • Mission progress tracking from schedule to completion
  • Multi-site scheduling across corridors and networks

Smart Inspect Profiles

Standardized capture protocols per asset class. A profile defined once for a transmission tower class applies to every tower in every corridor, every inspection cycle — no re-specification, no variance. Profiles define required coverage angles, altitude parameters, media types, and inspection checklists.

  • Per-asset-class capture protocol definition
  • Required angles, altitudes, and media specifications
  • Profiles version-controlled and reused across cycles
  • Audit trail of profile versions and changes
  • Compliance with internal and regulatory inspection standards

Pilot Assignment

Assign and track field operatives per mission with role-based access. Mission status, team allocation, and completion against schedule visible in real time — with a full audit trail from assignment through execution.

  • Role-based access and mission assignment
  • Real-time mission status visibility
  • Completion tracking against schedule
  • Full audit trail of assignment and activity

How it fits into the Orb workflow

Mission Planning & Asset Registry is the foundation of the Orb workflow. Everything downstream — autonomous capture, Vision Analytics, reporting, and enterprise integration — operates on the asset definitions and mission parameters set here.

Workflow position

  1. Plan
  2. Capture
  3. Analyze
  4. Review
  5. Act

Outcomes

  • Higher inspection coverage rate — standardized planning closes the gaps that ad-hoc programs miss
  • Shorter inspection cycle time — missions launch faster when asset registers and protocols are already defined
  • Greater data completeness — every asset has a defined inspection history, not a patchwork of manual records
  • Audit-ready program documentation — every mission, assignment, and protocol change is logged and traceable

Next: autonomous flight and intelligent capture.
