The automatic inspection of linear and vertical infrastructure.
Owners of scattered or vertical infrastructures – such as railroads, power lines, wind turbines or radio masts and towers – are in the need a regular evaluation to assess their status of preservation. Its capital expenditure is substantial, reaching 67% of civil infrastructure expenditure in some industries.
The CXP Group report, revealed that companies such as Transport for London (TfL) have boosted their technicians’ efficiency, benefited the customer experience, and improved unplanned downtime by deploying automation.
Seeking the same benefits, some companies are launching programs to change their business processes. Nevertheless, they face several challenges in the process.
My company has started to automate processes, but now what?
Most likely, your company has invested in hardware such as video cameras, LiDAR or drones. This hardware can reach your assets, facilitating the work and the safety of inspectors while reducing unnecessary journeys.
However, this investment is not enough, and getting AI to work efficiently is not straight-forward. Actually, 84% of companies fail at digital transformation. Why?
· High investment: The current approach to automate infrastructure monitoring is expensive, complex, time-consuming and fragile. In a survey carried out by Gartner’s, budget (51%) was one of the main constrains.
· Data Acquisition: Quality data drives quality results. So maybe your company has already invested in hardware, but it is not the most suitable to inspect power lines, wind turbines, roads, railroads and other linear infrastructure.
· Data Analysis: According to the Harvard Business Review, usually data is not currently leveraged through machine learning, squandering immense economic benefit. Companies may have big amounts of data, but what is next?
