Annotation Services for Energy and Utilities

The data types energy and utilities teams send us most often. Every service starts with a free pilot.

How We Deliver Your Project

From your first sample to production volume, every project follows the same six-step path, with no commitment until the pilot proves the quality.

  1. Step 01

    NDA and Discovery

    We sign an NDA first, then clarify your goals, taxonomy, edge cases, and target accuracy for your dataset.

  2. Step 02

    Free Pilot

    We annotate a sample of your data at no cost, so you can judge quality, speed, and edge-case handling first-hand.

  3. Step 03

    Proposal and Agreement

    Based on your pilot feedback, we finalize scope, timeline, pricing, and the Service Level Agreement.

  4. Step 04

    Team Setup and Training

    We assemble a dedicated team, train it on your guidelines, and agree on communication channels and progress tracking.

  5. Step 05

    Production Labeling

    Our team runs annotation to the agreed plan, with throughput and accuracy KPIs tracked for every annotator.

  6. Step 06

    QA and Delivery

    Your labeled data pass multi-stage quality review before delivery. Your feedback feeds straight back into the guidelines.

    Energy and Utilities FAQs

    Can you label thermal imagery?

    Yes. We annotate thermal and RGB imagery together, including hotspot and temperature-anomaly classes.

    Do you work with aerial LiDAR?

    Yes. We segment conductors, vegetation, and structures in aerial point clouds.

    How do you rate defect severity?

    Severity scales are defined with your engineers during the pilot and applied with reviewer checks.

    Can you handle large inspection campaigns?

    Yes. Teams scale to campaign volumes with consistent QA and batch-level reporting.
