Aligned with EEA2026's theme "Powering Prosperity," Hollyway is showcasing more than a demonstration at the event. The company has formally deployed its first end-user autonomous drone solution in New Zealand — the final piece to complete its Asia-Pacific strategic footprint.
This milestone marks an inflection point: moving from regional market presence to regional validation. The live deployment in New Zealand confirms the system delivers reliable operation under challenging field conditions — including remote corridor inspections, EMI interference near energised assets, and utility-grade reporting workflows — with full regulatory compliance.
Hollyway's autonomous drone ecosystem directly addresses EEA's vision for a resilient, sustainable, and high-performance power system:
• Resilient — Higher-frequency, standardised inspections identify blind spots before faults escalate
• Sustainable — Less vehicle patrol mileage and reduced helicopter flight hours, cutting the carbon footprint across remote asset networks
• High-performing — AI-powered defect detection, thermal hotspot identification, and centimetre-accurate digital asset modelling on the H.O.P.E. platform
• Prosperity-enabling — Keeps field crews out of hazardous environments while generating richer data with fewer personnel
For Hollyway, the Asia-Pacific map is now complete.
