Builds line-traversing robots (CAPACITY-1/CapacityN platform) that apply photonic passive-cooling coatings to live overhead power conductors, raising line ampacity by up to 30% without replacing cables. Robots also collect physical conductor data for AI-driven asset analysis. Deployed across tens of kilometres of utility networks in Canada, South Asia and Europe with 15+ utilities, including SSEN Transmission's North East 400kV project in Scotland.
