Artificial intelligence for sewer operations

With its own development department specifically for AI topics, IBAK is working on and developing several AI projects. One focus is automated condition detection in inspection films (ArtIST). Another equally exciting project is the AI-based autopilot for the inspection system with pan and rotate cameras (aiControl). IBAK is also researching how AI methodology can be used in sewer data for data validation, substance classification, ageing prognosis and strategy analysis (ISAM).

ArtIST: The evaluation assistant in the cloud

The Artificial Intelligence Software Tool (ArtIST) supports inspectors in the creation of inspection reports through automated condition recording. The web service is a cloud-based extension of the sewer analysis software IKAS evolution.

aiControl: The development project for fully automatic camera control

The inspection of main sewers and laterals with pan and rotate cameras will become more efficient in future with AI technologies. The autopilot automatically controls the camera (speed, rotation, panning, turning and zoom) and the video can be analyzed in real time during recording.

ISAM: Next level sewer management

IBAK Sewer Asset Management (ISAM) is an AI toolbox with comprehensive solutions for automated sewer data validation, substance classification, ageing prognosis and strategy analysis, which can be used to optimize processes and make data-based decisions.

AI is only as good as its data

High data quality is the prerequisite for optimal processing and analysis by AI. PANORAMO 4K systems offer the best basis for this by recording the entire interior view of the pipe in 4K resolution.
