    CLEVELAND, Nov. 25, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- PLP, a global leader in developing innovative infrastructure solutions for electric power systems, today announced the launch of the world's first self-service drone kit for remotely 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 DIY accessory kit that seamlessly attaches to DJI M300/M350 drones—widely used and popular drone models currently employed by utilities worldwide.

    The RAPTOR CLAMP Drone Kit provides a significant advantage in aerial power line maintenance, delivering several key benefits and features:

    • Revolutionary Line Marker Installation: The RAPTOR CLAMP Drone Kit is the first of its kind to enable off-the-shelf DJI M300/M350 drones to install bird diverters—critical wildlife protection devices that increase visibility for birds, helping to prevent collisions with power lines and reduce potential outages.



    • Improved Workplace Safety: The ability to safely and effectively install wildlife protection devices via drone reduces lineworker exposure to potential safety hazards and eliminates the need for traditional installation methods, such as via bucket truck or helicopter.



    • Doubling the Value of Drone Investment: Utilities and contractors gain a second essential use case for M300/M350 drones in their fleet by integrating the RAPTOR CLAMP Drone Kit into their existing programs—maximizing the return on investment for drone operators and allowing utilities to perform installations at their convenience.



    • Multiple Diverters Installed Quickly: PLP's Drone Kit is designed to carry and install multiple RAPTOR CLAMP Diverters in a single flight, significantly improving productivity.



    • Quick Change Carriage System: The kit is equipped with a quick-change carriage that allows operators to reload diverters quickly and efficiently, minimizing downtime and maximizing throughput.

    The RAPTOR CLAMP Drone Kit represents a leap forward in the management of overhead power lines and wildlife protection efforts, delivering a safer, faster, and more cost-effective method for installing critical line markers while offering utilities the opportunity to enhance their existing drone programs with versatile new capabilities.

    PLP's new drone kit is currently available for purchase worldwide through the company's extensive global sales and support network.
