Live · Utilities Swarm/Pilots launching 2026

Computer vision,
AI agents, and robotics
for utility operations.

Sawtooth Analytics gives utility operators, substation contractors, and field crews the ability to see what’s actually happening on site — and have safety, security, and schedule signals surfaced automatically. One studio, three fronts of the same problem.

Utilities Swarm

Live pilot

A multi-agent AI platform watching substation video in real time. YOLO + Gemini Robotics for scene understanding, reconciled against P6 schedules, weather forecasts, and SCADA telemetry. Enforces minimum-approach distance, tracks PPE per person, and generates end-of-day briefs. Orchestrated with LangGraph.

The Utilities Swarm platform

Five specialized agents, one operating picture.

Each agent subscribes to a slice of the scene — safety, construction, schedule, weather, reporting — and negotiates through a shared blackboard. Humans keep the final call.

01 / safety Active

Minimum-approach distance, per person.

Every individual on site is tracked and matched to the nearest energized asset in real time. Voltage-class-aware MAD rings are enforced with sub-second alerting. PPE compliance (helmet, FR, gloves, hi-vis) is checked per person, per frame.

02 / telemetry 230kV

Live SCADA, fused with video.

04 / security Launching 2026

Swarm + edge-CV perimeter monitoring.

Intrusion detection, unauthorized-entry alerts, and zone-based tracking across substation perimeters and temporary construction fencing.

05 / reporting 17:00Z daily

End-of-day brief, drafted by the swarm.

A terse, evidence-linked report for the PM inbox. At-risk activities, variance, safety breaches with video timestamps, and notable events — in one page.

Daily brief · Dresden-N · sample

01 Safety — 1 MAD breach (crew-03, 14:22:07Z, disc-03, 1.42m). Cleared in 4.1s. No PPE violations.

02 Construction — A-04.12 at 61% (-3m variance). A-05.02 delayed +28m, awaiting crane-02.

03 Weather — Clear, 42°F, wind 6mph NW. No impact on lift operations.

How it works

Ingest. Reason. Surface.

Raw signals in, structured operating picture out. The swarm does the reasoning — your PMs and operators stay in the loop.

01Ingest

Video, P6, weather, SCADA.

On-prem ingestion of substation video, Primavera P6 schedules, weather forecasts, and SCADA telemetry. Nothing leaves your perimeter.

  • RTSP · ONVIF camera streams
  • P6 XER / XML imports
  • NOAA / WU forecast feeds
  • DNP3 / IEC 61850 SCADA
02Reason

Multi-agent swarm.

YOLO + Gemini Robotics build a scene graph. LangGraph orchestrates five specialized agents negotiating over a shared blackboard.

  • agent · safety (MAD, PPE)
  • agent · construction (P6)
  • agent · schedule (variance)
  • agent · weather (impact)
  • agent · reporting (brief)
03Surface

HUD, alerts, reports, API.

Live HUD for the operations trailer. Threshold-based alerts to pagers, radios, MS Teams. End-of-day briefs in PM inboxes. Read API for your own tools.

  • web · ops HUD
  • alerts · pager / Teams / radio
  • email · 17:00Z daily brief
  • REST + websocket API
Who it's for

Built for the people accountable when something goes wrong.

Substation contractors

Site supervisors & safety leads

"My crew took a shortcut past disc-03 and I didn't see it." The swarm did — supervisor's pager lit up in 1.8 seconds with a linked clip.

  • MAD + PPE alerts to pager/radio
  • Replayable evidence for toolbox talks
  • Per-crew compliance reporting
Utility operations

Control room & ops directors

"What's actually happening across our 14 substations right now?" A single HUD, one live alert feed, auditable history.

  • Multi-site operating picture
  • Unified SCADA + video overlay
  • Incident audit trail
EPC project managers

Schedule & delivery PMs

"Are we still on plan? What's at risk this week?" The daily brief lands at 17:00Z — variance, blockers, weather, all evidence-linked.

  • P6 variance, auto-drafted
  • Weather-impacted activities
  • Evidence clips, no manual logging

Security & trust

Your video, your premises, your call.

Utility operators can't compromise on data residency or decision authority. We designed the platform around that from day one.

On-prem or VPC

Deploy into your environment. Kubernetes or bare metal. Your IT controls the blast radius.

Video stays on-site

No customer video leaves the premises. Model weights are shipped in; frames are never shipped out.

Human-in-the-loop

We detect, summarize, and surface. Humans decide. Every alert resolves to a person, every brief ships with a reviewer.

Full audit trail

Every agent decision, every alert, every override — signed, timestamped, and exportable. Designed for utility-sector compliance requirements.
