About This Item
IEEE 3328-2025 is a technical document on the use of wheeled robots for substation inspection, bringing together robotics and power-system practice in a focused recommended practice. It addresses how mobile inspection robots can support inspection tasks in substations, where access, reliability, and operational discipline matter. By framing the use of wheeled platforms in an electrical infrastructure setting, IEEE 3328-2025 helps organizations approach inspection work with greater consistency and clearer technical expectations.
About IEEE 3328-2025
This standard provides guidance for applying wheeled robotic systems to substation inspection activities. Its technical context sits at the intersection of power, energy, and industrial applications with robotics and control systems. IEEE 3328-2025 is intended to support structured use of mobile inspection equipment in environments where equipment condition, route planning, data collection, and operational coordination may affect inspection quality. As a recommended practice, it can help define a more controlled approach to robotic inspection tasks.
Where is IEEE 3328-2025 used?
IEEE 3328-2025 is relevant in substations and related utility facilities where wheeled robots may be used to inspect yards, equipment rows, and other accessible areas. It is commonly useful for teams responsible for routine checks, condition assessment, and remote observation of assets in energized or operational settings. The standard may also support integrators, operators, and maintenance personnel working with robotic inspection workflows, navigation systems, sensing payloads, and inspection procedures tied to power infrastructure.
Importance in practice
In practice, IEEE 3328-2025 matters because robotic inspection in substations must be repeatable, safe, and suitable for the operating environment. A clear recommended practice can support better design decisions, procurement reviews, and test planning for wheeled robots intended for inspection duties. It may also help reduce inconsistencies in how inspection tasks are carried out, improving coordination between robotics teams and substation operations while supporting more dependable data collection and risk-aware deployment.
