Robotic facade inspection
H3 Zoom.AI is an AI-powered platform designed to enhance building maintenance and inspection efficiency. The solution, developed in Singapore, combines uses data from drones and terrestrial panoramic camera to provide detailed analysis and insights on defects and failures in building facade components. The resulting analyses and alerts can be used to prioritize repairs, dispatch maintenance crews, and update reports for regulatory compliance.
Rapid urbanization means more high-rise buildings, many of them hastily-constructed, are being exposed to severe storms and other natural hazards. Automated facade inspection means the impacts of accelerated weathering can be reduced, increasing the resilience of cities to maintain safe housing stock.
