Visual inspection data is only valuable if you can access, analyze, and act on it. Scopito helps utilities and inspection teams turn raw image data into defensible insights that support audits, funding, and strategic maintenance.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Aarhus, Denmark — June 27, 2025 — Scopito is proud to announce a new partnership with Northern Powergrid, one of the UK’s leading electricity distribution companies, to support the modernization of its visual inspection workflows and data management infrastructure.
Visual inspection data management is at the heart of modern infrastructure maintenance—and Scopito is leading that transformation.
Northern Powergrid manages the electricity distribution network that delivers power to over 8 million people across 3.9 million homes and businesses in the North East, Yorkshire, and northern Lincolnshire. With a vast network spanning approximately 25,000 km², containing over 63,000 substations and 96,000 km of overhead lines and underground cables, efficient asset management and inspection planning are critical to maintaining reliability and future investment planning to increase network resilience across its grid.
As part of a broader digital transformation, and following a robust procurement process, Northern Powergrid has selected Scopito’s advanced data platform to centralize and streamline its inspection media.
“We’re excited to work with Northern Powergrid to deliver smarter, more efficient inspection workflows,” said Dani Feller, VP of Sales at Scopito. “Northern Powergrid’s forward-thinking approach to data access, automation, and long-term performance aligns perfectly with the strengths of our platform.”
Scopito’s platform is designed specifically for managing large volumes of visual inspection data across complex utility infrastructure environments. With powerful tools for image analysis, asset tracking, fault annotation, and historical comparison, the platform helps teams shift from documentation to insight, supporting AI integration, predictive maintenance strategies, and collaborative workflows—delivering value at both the operational and strategic levels.
Northern Powergrid plans to leverage Scopito for future inspections, as well as uploading archived media to enable long-term comparisons and unlock insights from historical data. The goal is to ensure that every relevant team member—from field technicians and engineers to executives—has access to the data they need, when and wherever they need it.
“We are delivering on our business plan promise to invest in technology that will enable better management and sharing of our visual network inspection data. By integrating it with our wider systems, we can improve team collaboration and ensure they have vital information that informs our maintenance and investment plans to improve our power network for our customers,” said Mark Pollard, Northern Powergrid’s contract lead and Field Systems Manager.
This partnership signals an ongoing shift across the utility sector: from fragmented media management to platform-enabled intelligence, where visual data becomes a catalyst for faster fault detection, improved planning, and more sustainable grid operations.
