Frequently asked questions

“If you can see it, we can see it.” AI Automated Inspector detects, maps, and catalogs assets and defects like wifi-access points, fire sprinklers, water ceiling tile damage, and other assets and defects. The exact locations of each asset and defect are placed on a floor plan and a catalog is generated for analysis, reference, and as inputs into AutoCAD and BIM models. Searched assets and defects are customizable by the user so that ad hoc questions from execs like “how many monitors do we have” can be answered within seconds.

There are many use cases of AI Automated Inspector - compliance, asset management, wayfinding, condition assessments, etc. Customers typically start by using AI Automated Inspector to automatically detect, map, and catalog the following assets and defects: 

• Fire extinguishers, smoke detectors, fire alarms, pull stations, etc. to confirm adherence to the NFPA framework.
• Diffusers and exhausts to confirm that their corridors, patient rooms, and bathrooms are properly ventilated to meet ASHRAE standards. 
• Grab bars in bathrooms, easy-to-use door handles, braille signage, etc. to confirm compliance with ADA regulations.
• Water ceiling tile damage and scuff marks.

Yes - AI Automated Inspector works with no floor plans! In fact, AI Automated Inspector generates “photorealistic” floor plans which are fully measurable within an inch. Calculate width of hallways, square footage of rooms, and so on. AI Automated Inspector is a great solution to gain immediate insights into space with outdated drawings, newly acquired space, and newly leased space. Combine AI Automated Inspector’s photorealistic floor plans with its asset detection as the basis to generate comprehensive, field ready floor plans with insights into your space like square footage of rooms, quantity of sprinklers, proper placement of wayfinding signs, and more!

Yes - performing video captures over time will help track how mobile assets move across the facility, which fixed assets change, and how defects become bigger defects over time. AI Automated Inspector has a “side-by-side” view to easily see images of the same location across time which is great for defect monitoring or for seeing what’s behind a facility wall, ceiling, or floor when a video capture is performed during the construction/remodel phase of the facility site.  

Not necessarily - anyone can perform the video capture after 30 minutes of capture training.

After the initial capture of your facility, the frequency of capture should be based on how often certain areas of your facilities are changing. If any of the areas are changing, then you should likely do another capture of that area to document those changes. 

AI Automated Inspector can work for clinics! AI Automated Inspector also serves customers representing a wide variety of structures including airports, water facilities, data centers, and factories.

AI Automated Inspector is HIPPA compliant as sensitive information and photos are automatically blurred.

Utilizing AI Automated Inspector detects, maps, and catalogs assets and defects instantly whereas manually documenting asset locations takes multiple FTEs months. In addition to saving this time, AI Automated Inspector generates a complete catalog reducing human error that results from manually walking around and recording data on a clipboard or tablet.
