[Construction Industry News] IHI develops two tools to support the inspection and diagnosis of infrastructure structures.

【News 2024/5/8】Achieving significant efficiency improvements and quality enhancement in inspection and diagnostic work with smartphones and AI.

◆DX for Inspection and Diagnosis Work On April 16, IHI Corporation, IHI Infrastructure Systems Corporation, and IHI Infrastructure Construction Corporation announced the development and launch of tools to support inspection and diagnosis work for infrastructure structures such as bridges. Regular inspections of road structures like bridges are mandated by law, but there has been a demand for digital transformation (DX) in the inspection and diagnosis field due to a shortage of technicians. ◆Utilizing Smartphones and AI The company has launched "Smartphone Inspector (R)" and "AIcon Diagnosis Service." With "Smartphone Inspector (R)," it is possible to take photos of damaged areas, input inspection information, and enter diagnosis results using just one smartphone. Inspection reports can also be created simply by sending data from the smartphone to a computer, significantly improving the efficiency of inspection and diagnosis work. Additionally, smartphones are smaller, lighter, and easier to handle than tablets, making it easier to ensure the safety of inspectors. The "AIcon Diagnosis Service" is a contracted service where experts check the results from the company's developed "AIcon Diagnosis (R)" and suggest appropriate countermeasures. The service report also provides access to a "Estimated Public Cost System," which calculates estimated public costs based on the user's budget scale and current situation.
