Visual AI for Inspections
Automated insights for infrastructure, real estate, roads, and waste monitoring
The Challenges Faced by manual inspections
Whether it’s monitoring infrastructure, tracking property condition, or enforcing public cleanliness, traditional methods rely heavily on human labor, require dangerous field work, and suffer from subjective judgments. With growing infrastructure, aging assets, and higher public expectations, organizations need smarter, faster, and safer ways to inspect and maintain physical environments.
Time Consuming
Manual inspections are time-consuming due to the need for physical access, travel between sites, and detailed visual checks by trained personnel. Inspectors must document findings manually, often using photos and notes, which delays reporting and analysis. Repetitive tasks and human limitations further slow down the process and reduce efficiency.
Error-Prone
Manual inspections are error-prone due to human fatigue, inconsistent judgment, and varying skill levels among inspectors. Environmental factors like poor lighting or weather can affect accuracy. Missed defects, incomplete documentation, and subjective assessments often lead to unreliable results, increasing the risk of undetected issues and costly follow-up work.
Costly
Manual inspections are costly because they require skilled labor, travel expenses, equipment, and downtime during the inspection process. Accessing hard-to-reach areas often involves scaffolding or specialized tools. Repeated site visits, slow reporting, and human errors can lead to increased maintenance costs, delayed repairs, and higher operational expenditures over time.

AI-Powered Visual Inspections
Smarter, faster, and safer infrastructure checks
airis:net Visual AI transforms inspection processes with drones and cameras, detecting cracks, corrosion, misalignment, and damage in real time. Reduce inspection time, improve safety, and generate accurate reports for reliable infrastructure maintenance.
1. Bridge Inspections with Drones
Challenge: Traditional bridge inspections are labor-intensive, require scaffolding or rope access, and pose safety risks to workers.
Solution: airis:net Visual AI processes high-resolution drone imagery to automatically detect cracks, rust, corrosion, and structural deformities. Our AI models are trained on various materials and damage types, ensuring high accuracy in identifying issues even in hard-to-reach areas.
Benefits:
- Reduce inspection time by 80%
- Improve worker safety by eliminating risky manual inspections
- Generate structured reports with geo-tagged defects
2. Wind Turbine Tower Inspections
Challenge: Monitoring hundreds of turbines for blade damage, tower corrosion, or oil leaks requires significant manpower and coordination.
Solution: Using drone footage or fixed surveillance, airis:net identifies anomalies such as surface cracks, lightning strikes, oil leaks, and wear on the turbine blades. Time-series analysis enables early detection of degradation over time.
Benefits:
- Minimize downtime through proactive maintenance
- Reduce inspection costs
- Prevent energy loss by identifying damage before it worsens
3. Road and Paving Defect Detection
Challenge: Manual road inspections are inefficient and lack consistent documentation of defects like potholes, cracks, or erosion.
Solution: airis:net AI models analyze video or dashcam footage to detect and classify road issues including longitudinal and transversal cracks, potholes, edge breaks, surface wear, water erosion, and more. The system works in real time or from uploaded footage.
Benefits:
- Comprehensive road quality maps for cities or private infrastructure
- Prioritize repairs based on severity
- Integration with GIS for streamlined urban planning
4. Real Estate Roof and Gutter Inspections
