New technology for high-rise building inspections unveiled

KUALA LUMPUR: A new cloudbased and artificial intelligence enabled services platform – H3 Zoom. AI – has been launched for high- rise building inspection activities for smart cities.

Launched by H3 Dynamics Holdings, the platform connects with camera drones for a safer, faster and more accurate alternative to dangerous and difficult to reach maintenance inspection.

Industry professionals can now find the building elevation maps they are familiar with, see a summary and of defects found by severity and by type (surface cracks, paint peels or corrosion marks and other defects) – all can be visualized as an overlay onto the elevation maps.

The tech n o l o g y w i l l improve worker safety, reduce downtimes and improve productivity, a statement said.

H3 Zoom’s AI engine can sort through thousands of HD images and billions of pixels to precisely identify, qualify and localize different types of defects, which are then represented through interactive inspection reports.

H3 Zoom is also launching Facade Inspector – a visual inspection tool that leverages machine learning and drones to transform the way high- rise building facades are inspected and maintained.

The inspection tool is fully digitized and can scan a highrise building within minutes instead of weeks, while avoiding gondolas and improving worker safety.

Facade Inspector will be unveiled at the 2018 World Cities Summit – Singapore Pavilion, from July 9 to 11. — Bernama
