Streamlining As-Built Verification: Cloneable's AI Application for Pole Inspection
In industries where infrastructure design, construction and maintenance are critical, field inspections play a vital role. However, traditional inspection methods often face challenges with consistency, efficiency, and data management relying on multiple crews and systems throughout the process. Cloneable's AI-powered mobile solution is changing the game, offering a new approach to streamline and enhance field inspection processes.
The goal? To support field workers with cutting-edge technology, improving efficiency without sacrificing the irreplaceable human expertise.
The Challenge
Post-construction inspections of power and telecom infrastructure have traditionally been a time-consuming and sometimes inconsistent process. Field workers often grapple with:
- Potential discrepancies between inspections and original designs
- Time-intensive procedures requiring multiple site visits
- Challenges in maintaining consistent documentation across inspections
Cloneable’s Construction Verification App
Cloneable has worked with leading power and telecom direct providers and service providers to create a cutting-edge mobile application that leverages the power of AI to support field workers with pole inspections. The application collects pole measurements and instantly compares as-designed to as-built in the built, on a mobile device. This allows field inspectors to leverage the technology in their pockets to more accurately, safely and efficiently perform a construction audit.
The app provides:
- AI-powered object detection for swift and accurate identification of equipment
- LiDAR and Augmented Reality for precise spatial measurements (ex. geolocation, attachment heights & spacing, etc.)
- Offline functionality for seamless operation in remote areas
- Customizable integration of company-specific rules and specifications
- Real-time comparison between field observations and design plans
- Automated data syncing with backend systems
Key Benefits of Automating Your Pole Inspections
Companies adopting this technology have identified significant opportunities:
- Enhanced Consistency: AI assists in standardizing the inspection process across different workers and locations.
- Improved Efficiency: Digital tools streamline data collection, reducing time spent on manual documentation.
- Better Data Management: Instant data availability and automated syncing facilitate quicker decision-making and reduce the need for repeat visits.
- Augmented Workforce: The technology supports and enhances the capabilities of skilled field workers, supports the scale of internal knowledge to support turnover.
- Cost-Effectiveness: Streamlined processes and reduced site revisits lead to significant cost savings over time.
Pilot to Demonstrate Real-World Success
In a recent pilot, our application was field-tested across varied terrain and infrastructure types. The results were impressive, with users reporting ease of use for data capture, comparable measurement precision to traditional methods of using a height stick, and potential for streamlined workflows by enabling data audit in back-end system.
As one project lead noted, "It's about capturing the same critical information, just in a more efficient and consistent way."
