Chaos to Clarity - Simplifying Post-Disaster Asset Assessment with AI
Natural disasters can devastate critical infrastructure, leaving utilities, energy providers and public agencies facing the daunting task of assessing damage across vast areas. Traditional assessment methods, which often rely on manual inspections, are time-consuming, labour-intensive and can miss crucial details. In these high-pressure situations, speed and accuracy are paramount. Unleash live’s AI-powered video analytics and drone technology provide a smarter, faster and safer way to assess and restore assets post-disaster.

AI App for Smoke Intensity - Boosting Environmental Compliance
In today’s world, monitoring emissions for environmental impact is more critical than ever. Companies face increasing regulatory pressure to reduce their carbon footprint and monitor air quality, which includes tracking the intensity of smoke emissions from industrial flares, chimneys and exhausts. However, traditional methods of monitoring smoke emissions, such as the Ringleman Scale, rely heavily on subjective human observation, resulting in inconsistencies and inaccuracies in data.

Material Damage Detection AI App for Efficiency & Asset Protection
In industries where any type of material wear and tear is a critical factor, whether in production lines, processing facilities or field operations, maintaining the longevity of components is essential for cost-effective, efficient operations. Constant monitoring of materials, such as filter cloths, conveyor belts and other production line equipment, helps identify damage early and allows for timely intervention, reducing downtime and costly repairs.

Redefining Oil & Gas Asset Integrity with Pipe Erosion AI
In the oil and gas industry, pipeline integrity is paramount for safe, efficient and cost-effective operations. Pipelines are responsible for transporting oil, gas and other materials across vast distances, often in harsh environments. Over time, the materials transported can erode the inner and outer surfaces of pipelines, leading to corrosion and potential leaks or failures. Traditional inspection methods, such as manual checks and periodic maintenance, are often resource-intensive, costly and limited by their sporadic nature.

Six-Step Guide to Unlocking Insights with an AI-Driven Video Platform
An AI-enhanced video analytics (VA) platform like Unleash live leverages advanced computer vision algorithms, packaging them into powerful AI Apps to process live video and high-quality image streams in real-time, extracting critical operational data and automating responsive actions. By using deep learning models for object detection, change tracking and pattern recognition, Unleash can dynamically monitor and analyze footage across diverse sectors, such as energy, public safety, mining and transportation. Unleash live’s VA platform is also natively available in the cloud, however, it can also be deployed at the Edge, On-Prem, Hybrid or MEC/Nokia MIXIE (learn more) to balance our customers' need for scalability and low-latency responses, enabling rapid, localized decision-making. This architecture supports real-time event detection (e.g. equipment anomalies or safety compliance breaches), while enhancing workflow optimization and asset management. The AI Apps Store allows for industry-specific applications, making it adaptable to complex environments and valuable for automated inspections, risk assessment and resource allocation.

Harnessing Starlink for Drone Operations with Remote Site Monitoring

Optimize Urban Mobility with AI Powered Intersection Traffic Analysis

Leveraging the capabilities of artificial intelligence and real-time video analytics, this Machine Learning AI tool enables cities, municipalities and traffic management agencies to improve traffic flow, optimize safety and gain valuable insights from intersection data.

Boost Mining Efficiency with AI Video Analytics Upstream & Downstream
The mining industry, with its massive scale, operates like a finely tuned machine. However, maintaining efficiency in such a vast and complex environment, from upstream activities like excavation to downstream processes like mineral refinement, is no small feat. The need for compliant materials, efficient staff performance and accurate volume measurements is more crucial than ever.

Flight Logging integrated with AVCRM for Compliance & Risk Management
We’re excited to announce a new integration that advances compliance and risk management within drone operations. Unleash live seamlessly integrates with AVCRM Aviation Compliance and Risk Management Software, enabling operators to log flights directly within AVCRM’s platform. This powerful integration simplifies regulatory reporting, ensures accurate flight data capture, and enhances risk management, making it an essential tool for businesses operating large-scale drone fleets.

Ditch Hardwired Sensors & Embrace AI Vision for Asset Maintenance
In the ever-evolving world of asset maintenance, relying on traditional methods like hardwired sensors is becoming increasingly outdated. These legacy solutions, while useful in the past, are limited in their flexibility, scope and cost-efficiency. Today, enterprises require more adaptable, scalable and advanced technologies to manage and maintain their assets, which is where AI vision comes into play.

What is an AI App?
An AI App is software that leverages artificial intelligence (AI) to automate tasks, generate insights and make data-driven decisions. While an AI model is the engine behind the app, trained on large datasets to identify patterns, an AI App takes this a step further by integrating the model into a product that solves real-world problems. It allows end-users to access the power of AI without needing specialized knowledge of machine learning or data science.

The Power of AI Computer Vision for a Seamless Baggage Experience
Computer vision, a branch of AI, enables computers to recognize and interpret objects and people in images and videos, automating tasks that mimic human perception and which is currently transforming most aspects of airport operations, from terminal efficiency to aircraft turnaround!
