Polli, Freefly, and Sony are working in conjunction to drive innovation in conservation efforts, particularly for Monarch butterfly protection. Freefly's high-performance Astro drone is equipped with Sony's ultra-high-resolution ILX-LR1 camera. This hardware synergy provides the foundational tool for Polli, whose technology uses AI to quickly and efficiently analyze the captured images, identifying and mapping crucial milkweed habitats at scale to protect the butterflies.

Polli was featured in T&D World magazine for its innovative role in utility vegetation management, particularly in the context of conservation. The publication highlighted Polli's technology—which often involves the use of drones to monitor and map pollinator habitats, such as milkweed for Monarch butterflies, within utility Rights-of-Way (ROWs). This feature underscores how Polli is helping electric utilities integrate environmental stewardship and biodiversity into their operational best practices.

We are proud to announce the release of the POLLi software platform. POLLi is a unique and groundbreaking product designed to streamline the identification and quantification of common milkweed through the seamless integration of data collection and analysis.
