Percepto launched Axion on October 27, 2026, a software-as-a-service platform designed for power grids, oil and gas facilities, and industrial sites.

Key points
- Percepto’s Axion integrates with drones, sensors, and inspection archives for real-time infrastructure monitoring
- Over 160 AI models analyze 100,000+ hours of autonomous inspection data to detect anomalies
- New leadership team leads software-first expansion, targeting power, oil, and industrial sectors
The platform allows operators to query assets in plain language, prioritize maintenance, and validate findings against historical trends and expert workflows. Percepto’s CEO, Julien Bellanger, framed the launch as part of a broader shift toward a software-first strategy, addressing the growing bottleneck of reviewing inspection data amid an aging workforce. The company also announced a multi-year contract with a leading U.S. energy firm for transmission line inspections, extending their long-standing partnership. Percepto’s hardware—including Ranger drones and Harbor stations—remains integral but now serves as one of multiple data inputs into the Axion platform.
