November 29 2023 - 9:00AM
Business Wire
Custom Truck One Source, Inc. (NYSE: CTOS), a leading provider
of specialty equipment to the electric utility,
infrastructure-related, telecom and rail end markets, has formed a
strategic alliance with Scope Computer Vision Technologies to
introduce Scope Control. This innovative solution is set to
revolutionize the stringing line equipment inspection process,
significantly improving safety and operational efficiency.
Historically, conventional visual inspection methods for
stringing lines have been labor-intensive and error-prone, with
human visual inspections exhibiting error rates as high as 35%. In
stark contrast, Scope Control boasts an extraordinary accuracy rate
of over 99% in detecting line irregularities and predicting
residual break strength within a remarkable 5%± margin of the
actual breaking point.
Key Features of Scope Control:
- Precise prediction of residual break strength, ensuring
unparalleled safety.
- Exceptional accuracy in identifying cut strands, splices, and
debris, exceeding 99%.
- Continuous monitoring of line length and condition.
- Streamlined access to inspection data and image insights for
swift repair planning.
- Effortless assessment of line scans and defect identification
for fleet managers.
- Automated report generation and alerts based on comprehensive
scan data.
Smiley Rich, President of the Rental Division at Custom Truck,
remarked, "Custom Truck is dedicated to assisting our customers in
upholding the highest safety standards in the industry.
Historically, achieving and maintaining specific safety benchmarks
for stringing lines has been challenging, often relying on manual
inspections and indirect indicators of line strength. Scope Control
now empowers our customers to set an industry precedent by
accurately assessing line health and categorizing it as new, used,
or bad based on safety standards and residual break strength."
Justin McCoy, Founder and CEO of Scope, expressed his
enthusiasm, stating, "We're excited to offer our product through
Custom Truck. The Scope online interface empowers fleet managers to
analyze automated defect detection outcomes, facilitating rapid
decision-making and intervention when anomalies are detected.
Moreover, the system provides a digital ledger of inspected lines,
offering a credible line history that underscores Custom Truck One
Source's commitment to operational safety."
Custom Truck One Source takes immense pride in its partnership
with Scope, further reinforcing its commitment to delivering the
highest level of service and safety to its esteemed clientele.
