The ARIS II Rover is a remotely-controlled
rover with advanced imaging technology to help
safely and accurately diagnose a multitude of
problems in a substation on a regular basis more
efficiently and at a lower cost.
Managing and maintaining distribution and transmission substations across vast and varied locations is challenging to react to changes within equipment quickly. In the face of aging infrastructure, limited personnel resources, and myriad ad-hoc incidents, protecting assets and limiting liability while reducing time to react is paramount to cost savings. Equipment anomalies, weather events, animals, or other intrusions must be diagnosed as quickly as possible to apply a solution. The ARIS II Rover gives you the insight you need, when you need to keep your substations operational.
Time is critical. When a situation does occur, ARIS can quickly and safely diagnose the severity of the incident. With the intel, respond immediately and make the right decision.
NVS Geospatial has been a leader in data acquisition and analytics for the electric utility industry for more than 30 years. We know it takes more than great tech to be a leader in the remote sensing.
That is why we started by understanding what substation data our utility clients needed to answer their most pressing questions, and worked our way back to the best solution, the ARIS II ROVER. Then we tested thoroughly to ensure that we could meet ours and the industry’s highest level of expecations. We can.

ARIS II Brochure
NV5 Geospatial’s Automated Roving Inspection System (ARIS) is the most advanced toolkit for remote substation and infrastructure inspection, combining fine-scale spatial mapping with high-sensitivity corrosion
and thermal detection. Essentially, they are robots with enormous geospatial analysis capabilities. With a sensor stack including a lidar sensor, thermal camera, and spectral camera, the ARIS robots go beyond visual inspection to assess the health of components on a quantitative basis. The sensor bundle is mounted on an autonomous roving vehicle capable of performing repeat observations in nearly any substation environment, navigating rough terrain in any weather conditions with repeat positioning to within 10 cm. The ARIS can safely navigate most potential hazards for routine or post-storm asset health assessments.
Autonomous vehicles are ideal platforms for surveying areas dangerous for people such as electric substations, mines, and hazardous materials sites. The robots excel in repeat surveys for monitoring an area to assess environmental changes over time.
Data generated from the suite of sensors in the ARIS robots is used to detect small-scale damage and signs of degradation (cracks, leaks, and oxidation) and to map physical change to fence line, transformers, switches, conductors and other components. The deployment of this technology will allow a utility to roll out the most advanced substation monitoring program achievable today.
