Grid Analytics: Re-architecting an inspection tool for power grid infrastructure to support future growth and scalability
Our team helped develop and re-architect a multi-source data inspection tool for power grid customers, ensuring scalability and readiness for future volume.
Who’s our partner?
Field Group
By combining software, sensors, and autonomous technologies, we put data to work to boost efficiency and reliability within the infrastructure, construction, environment, and public sectors.

We believe that the success of any project hinges not merely on task completion, but on nurturing a relationship built on trust, mutual understanding, and clear communication.
We established a routine of regular, transparent communication from the get-go, setting clear expectations and promptly addressing any changes in scope or issues. This proactive approach ensured the project stayed on track and that no time was wasted.
Field Group’s existing inspection tool required modernization to support growing customer demand and future scalability.
The system integrates multiple data sources for grid power line inspections, and our challenge was to ensure it could handle increased volume while maintaining security and performance.
What was our proposition?
A web & cloud-based asset inspection platform, designed for scalability and security
We re-architected the existing system, focusing on:
Ensuring the platform could handle future growth and increasing amounts of inspection data.
Implementing robust data protection and secure cloud infrastructure.
Optimizing workflows and data processing for real-time analytics.
Our developers now represent over 50% of the product team, contributing to both maintenance and ongoing feature development.
Field Group has committed to a long-term collaboration with our specialists.
The tech stack
TypeScript is a programming language created as an extension for JavaScript, adding static typing to this dynamic language. It provides developers with greater control over the code by introducing data types, resulting in enhanced safety and easier error detection during code writing.
With TypeScript, one can write more readable and maintainable code, especially in larger projects, as typing allows for the identification and correction of errors at the code-writing stage. Additionally, TypeScript compiles to JavaScript, meaning the source code can run on any browser or platform that supports JavaScript.
TypeScript is utilized in numerous large-scale projects due to its advantages in typing and extensive functionality, making it a popular choice in the realm of web application development and beyond.
- We successfully convinced the customer to rely on TypeScript in some of the newer implementations
- We were maintaining & managed to update to the latest versions some of the existing JavaScript based projects
- We integrated some machine learning model for component detection in aerial images (people, cars)
- We proposed & implemented a queueing system for image processing pipeline (e.g. masking thousands of AI-detected objects daily)
Our team applied industry best practices in cloud architecture, backend development, and frontend technologies to modernize the system while ensuring a smooth transition. We worked closely with Field Group’s internal team to integrate changes seamlessly and maintain system reliability.
Who were the experts behind the project?
Our developers became an integral part of the Field Group product team, now making up over 50% of the development force.
With expertise in cloud infrastructure, backend scalability, and frontend development, our specialists continue to drive innovation and system improvements.
Working with Codeflyers has been a game-changer for us! Their innovative approach and unparalleled technical expertise have propelled our project to new heights. We're thrilled with the progress and their proactive attitude.
