Frequently Asked Questions

Jinki is an aerial intelligence platform that turns aerial data into prioritized maintenance recommendations for critical infrastructure — data centers, power grids, perimeters, and agricultural operations. We deliver actionable intelligence, not raw data.

A one-time aerial assessment that delivers a prioritized report with thermal, structural, and environmental findings — typically within 48 hours. Learn more about Intelligence Scans.

Jinki provides aerial intelligence for data centers, energy and utility infrastructure, perimeter security, and agricultural operations across the Mid-Atlantic United States.

Jinki currently serves facilities in the Mid-Atlantic United States, with a focus on the Northern Virginia data center corridor — the world's largest concentration of data center capacity.

Jinki operates a piloted aerial platform with radiometric thermal sensors for assessment missions and an autonomous aerial platform with on-site dock station for persistent monitoring — capable of 150–200 missions per month.

Unlike standard thermal cameras that show relative heat patterns, radiometric sensors capture precise temperature values at every pixel (±0.5°C accuracy). This enables quantitative analysis — identifying components operating outside specification before they fail.

One-time Intelligence Scans provide a comprehensive facility snapshot. Autonomous Deployment adds a permanently stationed platform that flies recurring missions — building thermal baselines over time and flagging degradation velocity trends.

Data centers generate enormous heat loads. Rooftop cooling infrastructure — chillers, CRAHs, condensers — develops thermal anomalies that signal degradation weeks before failure. Aerial thermal inspections identify these signatures without roof access or operational disruption.

Common findings include hot spots on cooling equipment, HVAC bypass or short-cycling, rooftop membrane degradation, electrical connection anomalies, and water intrusion signatures. Each finding is severity-ranked with recommended remediation.

No. Aerial operations are completely non-invasive — no roof access, no scaffolding, no operational disruption. Your facility continues normal operations throughout the assessment.

All data is encrypted with AES-256 at rest and TLS 1.3 in transit. Every engagement begins with a mutual NDA. SOC 2 Type I certification targeted for Q3 2026. View our full security architecture.

Access is strictly limited to authorized Jinki analysts assigned to your engagement. All team members undergo background checks. Data is never shared with third parties without explicit written consent.

Data retention follows your contract terms. By default, raw imagery is retained for 90 days after report delivery. Extended retention is available for clients using autonomous monitoring with trend analysis.

Pricing depends on facility size, complexity, and sensor requirements. Contact us for a custom quote — we respond within 4 business hours.

No. Intelligence Scans are available as one-time engagements. Autonomous Deployment involves a service agreement for the stationed platform, but there are no hidden long-term lock-ins.
