Xplorate: Revolutionising Infrastructure Monitoring with RPAS Technology
Xplorate, based in Western Australia, is transforming infrastructure monitoring for industries like mining, energy, and government through advanced Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems (RPAS) and AI-powered analytics. By delivering real-time, data-driven insights, Xplorate enhances asset management, reduces inspection risks, and improves operational efficiency across critical infrastructure networks.
Problem
Traditional infrastructure monitoring methods—manual inspections of pipelines, power lines, railways, and reforestation areas—are slow, labour-intensive, and prone to human error. With millions of miles of critical assets to manage, companies face challenges including operational downtime, safety risks, limited visibility of emissions or environmental hazards, and high costs. These issues impede timely decision-making and make it difficult to achieve ESG and sustainability goals.
Solution
Xplorate addresses these challenges by deploying BVLOS RPAS operations combined with AI-driven data analytics. Their Xplorate Intelligence Portal integrates aerial, ground, orbital, and digital data to provide actionable insights, enabling predictive maintenance, emissions detection, asset inspection, and vegetation monitoring.
The platform supports digital twin creation, orthophoto modelling, and IoT-enabled insights, offering industries a single source of truth for safer, faster, and more accurate infrastructure management. Under the leadership of CEO Ronnie Fahy, Xplorate has completed extensive pipeline inspections, expanded its service offerings, and scaled across multiple sectors, positioning itself as a market leader in data-driven RPAS solutions.
