Fast Forward has reset the standard scale of line patrol and outage mitigation—Our crew can efficiently capture data on more than 5,000 miles, or 100,000 poles per week, and set to double again in 2026.
Automated Line Patrol
This is the most scalable and cost-effective way to patrol line. Automate documentation, refine GIS data, and build precise system inventories.
Automated Thermal Inspections
Reduce costs and save time with Fast Forward’s automated thermal inspection technology. Our vehicle-mounted camera systems and proprietary software deliver high-quality thermal data, allowing your team to focus on higher-value tasks.
Data Management
Fast Forward manages processing, hosting, and initial assessments so your team has actionable data. Compared to other inspection methods, we reduce data volume by over 70% without compromising insight or performance.
Safety & Reliability
You might have seen how much drone technology improved safety and reliability of the grid when utilities began implementing programs, but 8 years later it’s still limited in annual scalability. The capacities of using automobiles far surpass coverage and impact on reliability.
