LineAlert: Built on the Kupaku Platform as a Service

---

LineAlert is a storm response platform built on Kupaku’s Visual Field Operations (VFO) engine. It helps utilities collect real-time, geotagged images of power line damage submitted by field workers, contractors, and even the public. These images are compressed using Kupaku’s Smartbandwidth™ protocol and routed into a live control panel where utility staff can view, assess, and respond.

1. Utility defines a "mission" area post-storm.
2. LineAlert users in that area (contractors, citizens, field staff) submit photos using the app.
3. Photos are instantly previewed (<100KB) and optionally pulled in high resolution.
4. Utility teams review, triage, and act using a centralized control panel.
