Zeitview builds inspection software that combines drone-based aerial data capture with AI analytics to deliver asset health insights for solar, wind, telecom, and utility infrastructure in over 70 countries.
Zeitview, founded in 2014 and formerly known as DroneBase, builds inspection software that combines aerial data capture with AI-powered analytics for asset health assessment. The system spans the full pipeline: drone-based imaging collects the raw data, and machine learning and computer vision models turn it into structured insights for operators of solar, wind, telecom, utility, and other infrastructure assets. The company's stated emphasis is on speed and accuracy of delivered insights, and on long-term cost reduction and lifespan extension for customer infrastructure.
Two products define the current platform. The AI-enabled inspection software platform ingests aerial imagery and applies analytics to produce actionable asset health findings. The North American Solar Scan is described as the first standardized rating system for large-scale solar assets, which implies a repeatable capture-to-score workflow across large portfolios rather than one-off inspections. Verticals served include solar energy, wind energy, telecom, utilities, property inspection, and broader renewable energy and infrastructure.
Deployment scale is significant: the company operates in over 70 countries and has raised over $100M in funding. That geographic spread means field data comes from varied assets, climates, and regulatory environments - a relevant constraint for anyone working on the vision and analytics side. The team is global and distributed, with heavy stated investment in AI-enabled software. The company describes its mission in economic terms - 'energy is the economy' - and frames its work around supporting the transition to sustainable infrastructure.
