# LineVision

> LineVision is a Boston-based grid intelligence company that helps electric utilities get more capacity, reliability, and safety out of existing transmission lines. Its patented non-contact sensors mount on transmission towers - not the live wires - and pair LiDAR-based measurements of conductor position with AI-driven, hyperlocal wind forecasting and computational fluid dynamics to calculate a line's real-time thermal capacity. Through its Dynamic Line Rating, situational awareness, and asset-health products, LineVision typically unlocks 30%+ additional capacity on monitored lines at a fraction of the cost and time of building new transmission, supporting faster renewable integration and a more resilient grid.

- **Founded:** 2018
- **Headquarters:** Boston, Massachusetts, United States
- **Founders:** Hudson Gilmer (Co-founder, Chair of the Board (former CEO)), Jonathan Marmillo (Co-founder), Nathan Pinney (Co-founder)
- **Team size:** ~120 employees
- **Products:** LineRate (Dynamic Line Ratings), LineAware (Situational Awareness), LineHealth (Asset Health), Non-contact sensors / NexusIQ Portal
- **Notable:** Powered the largest operationalization of Dynamic Line Ratings in the United States - and the first in New York State - on National Grid lines., Demonstrated capacity gains averaging 30%+ (and into triple digits on some lines) at roughly 5-7% of the cost of a traditional transmission upgrade., Grew from small R&D pilots to full grid-operations deployments with roughly 30 utilities across the US and Europe.

## Products & services

- **LineRate (Dynamic Line Ratings)** — Real-time and forecasted thermal capacity ratings for transmission lines, using AI-enhanced hyperlocal wind forecasting, a computational fluid dynamics model, and direct sensor validation. Typically unlocks 30%+ additional capacity on monitored lines.
- **LineAware (Situational Awareness)** — Real-time monitoring of conductor position, sag, sway, clearance, and environmental conditions to detect anomalies, encroachments, ice, and wildfire risk.
- **LineHealth (Asset Health)** — Continuous asset-health and diagnostics monitoring to track conductor condition and behavior, supporting predictive maintenance and informed capital planning.
- **Non-contact sensors / NexusIQ Portal** — Patented tower-mounted, solar-powered LiDAR-based sensors that require no outage, live-line work, or specialized installation, feeding a unified data-visualization and analytics portal.
