Introducing the world's first self-service drone kit for installing bird diverters on overhead power lines. The new RAPTOR CLAMP? Drone Kit enables electric utilities and contractors to safely and efficiently install PLP RAPTOR CLAMP Diverters via a simple-to-use accessory kit that seamlessly attaches to DJI M300/M350 drones—widely used and popular drone models currently employed by utilities worldwide. Preventing outages and protecting wildlife just got a whole lot easier. #electricpower #wildlifeprotection #drones #innovation

We could get used to this view. In partnership with FulcrumAir, the world's first robotic installation of PLP Twinlok spacers was recently completed in Australia for the Yurika Clarke Creek Wind Farm project. Special thanks to everyone involved in this project. A safer, more innovative future for electric utilities and contractors is coming to a power line near you. #robotics #electricpower #innovation
