Frequently Asked Questions
Zeitview is an asset intelligence company for energy and critical infrastructure. It combines aerial and robotic data collection, AI-powered analysis, expert review, standardized reporting, and portfolio monitoring to help teams understand asset condition, prioritize issues, and decide what needs attention first.
Zeitview provides end-to-end inspection services that connect data collection, AI-powered analysis, expert review, standardized reporting, and asset monitoring software. The workflow is designed to move teams from raw inspection data to prioritized findings and maintenance decisions across energy, infrastructure, and commercial property assets.
Aerial methane detection uses aircraft-based sensors to survey large oil and gas operating areas for methane emissions. Zeitview detects emissions across wellsites, pipelines, and production infrastructure, then provides the location, emission rate, timestamp, imagery, and other observations operators need to assess severity and prioritize response.
A commercial property assessment documents the condition of building and site components so facilities teams can prioritize maintenance, repairs, and capital decisions. Zeitview uses aerial data and analysis to assess roofs, facades, pavement, landscaping, and surrounding infrastructure, then organizes findings into standardized reports and portfolio-level asset intelligence.
A solar panel inspection evaluates modules and related site conditions for issues that can reduce performance, create risk, or require maintenance. Zeitview combines visual and thermal data collection with AI-assisted analysis and expert review to identify anomalies, document their location and severity, and help solar teams prioritize corrective action.
A drone utility inspection uses high-resolution aerial imagery and sensor data to assess electric transmission and distribution assets. Zeitview captures visual and thermal data on utility infrastructure, then combines AI analysis with expert review to identify equipment degradation, hotspots, vegetation risks, and other conditions that can affect reliability and safety.
A wind turbine drone inspection uses high-resolution aerial imagery to document blade and turbine condition without relying solely on manual visual access. Zeitview combines drone data with AI-assisted analysis and expert turbine review to identify defects, classify severity, and give O&M teams inspection evidence they can use to plan maintenance and repairs.
Asset intelligence is structured information about an asset’s location, condition, severity, and inspection history that teams can use to make maintenance and operational decisions. Zeitview turns raw inspection data into prioritized findings, mapped evidence, and portfolio-level visibility so teams can focus on the assets and issues that matter most.
Multimodal data collection combines different capture methods and sensor types to build a more complete view of asset condition. Zeitview can use planes, drones, drone-in-a-box systems, robotic crawlers, and specialized cameras with technologies such as RGB imagery, infrared thermography, LiDAR, methane spectrometers, borescopes, and 360-degree cameras.
Each Zeitview methane detection includes precise GPS location, quantified emission rate, timestamp, and supporting observations. Reporting can also include optical imagery, plume visualization, and source identification, giving operations and compliance teams context to understand the event, locate it quickly, and determine what action should come next.
A drone roof inspection captures high-resolution imagery of commercial roof surfaces and rooftop components. Zeitview can combine visual imagery with thermal data to identify roof damage, moisture-related conditions, and equipment or mechanical degradation, then provide annotated findings and condition information for repair and maintenance planning.
Drone and aerial solar inspections can capture consistent visual and thermal data across large utility-scale sites and distributed portfolios with minimal on-site disruption. Zeitview uses drones, fixed-wing aircraft, remote drone systems, and mobile capture to help teams inspect assets efficiently while maintaining detailed, location-specific records.
Aerial power line inspections can reveal conditions that are difficult to see from the ground, including issues involving poles, crossarms, insulators, hardware, electrical equipment, and nearby vegetation. Zeitview pairs imagery with anomaly details and severity information so utilities can prioritize the conditions that need attention first.

Yes. Zeitview combines methane measurements with precise geolocation and optical context to support emission source identification, including attribution to the relevant equipment or source point when the data supports it. This helps field teams move from detecting an emission to locating the likely source more efficiently.
Thermal roof inspection can help identify temperature patterns associated with subsurface moisture and other roof integrity concerns. Zeitview combines infrared data with high-resolution visual imagery so facilities teams can investigate potential water intrusion, roof damage, and rooftop equipment issues with more context than visual inspection alone.
Aerial thermography uses infrared data to identify abnormal temperature patterns across a solar array. Zeitview uses thermal inspections to detect conditions such as overheating modules, string imbalances, and electrical faults, helping teams locate performance issues quickly and prioritize maintenance that can reduce production losses.
Aerial inspections expand visibility across pole-top components, remote terrain, rights-of-way, and other areas that can be difficult to assess consistently from the ground. Utilities can use aerial inspection alongside existing field programs to improve coverage, create better documentation, and direct crews toward assets that warrant closer attention or maintenance.
Internal blade inspections examine structural areas that cannot be confirmed from the exterior, including spar caps, shear webs, bonding lines, and internal laminates. Zeitview uses crawler-based inspection to identify conditions such as delamination, adhesive failure, and other internal structural concerns that may affect blade integrity.
Zeitview uses AI models to scan inspection data and flag anomalies or performance risks. Domain experts then review and validate the findings before they are delivered, adding context so teams receive confirmed, decision-ready information rather than an unfiltered set of automated detections.
Zeitview first processes inspection data through proprietary AI models that identify anomalies and performance risks. Human domain experts then review the dataset, validate findings, and add asset-specific context. This combines the speed and consistency of AI-assisted analysis with expert judgment before results reach the customer.
Methane quantification estimates the emission rate associated with a detected event. By comparing quantified detections, operators can understand relative severity, focus attention on larger emission sources, prioritize repair activity, and track emissions performance across repeated surveys.
