Sixense’s Digital Inspection Services provide a high‑definition, data‑driven approach to evaluating the condition of engineered structures, enabling asset owners to make informed decisions with precision and confidence.
By utilising advanced sensors, drones, and bespoke data‑acquisition strategies, Sixense ensures that inspections match the required level of detection detail for each structure and environment. This approach enhances safety by enabling inspections in hard‑to‑access areas while also supporting predictive maintenance planning, ensuring assets present no risk to users.
Once data is collected, our engineers processes and analyses raw imagery to produce high‑resolution orthoimages, panoramas, and analytical outputs enriched by AI‑driven fault detection. The system identifies defects, maps them, and highlights areas of concern, allowing engineers to remotely review, compare, and interpret structural changes over time.
These insights are then shared through beMap™ – Sixense’s cloud‑based platform that offers interactive viewing, comparison tools, layered datasets, and advanced analytics such as object classification and 3D dimensioning for deeper structural assessment.
Sixense’s Digital Inspection Services not only streamline the inspection process but also significantly improve traceability, collaboration, and long‑term asset management. The ability to archive structural conditions, overlay historic and current data, and prepare repair strategies enhances operational efficiency and cost optimisation. Integrated within the broader Beyond digital ecosystem, these solutions support maintenance planning, data centralisation, and decision‑making through automated reporting, real‑time insights, and AI‑driven analytics—ensuring infrastructure owners sustainably manage their assets throughout their lifecycle.
The three steps of digital inspection
On-site design and data acquisition
- Definition of the data acquisition accuracy level to match the required level of detection detail
- Choice of the best sensor and vector combination for the circumstances (level of resolution required, type of structure, environment, etc.)
- System integration
- Management of official formalities and authorisation requests
- On-site working and data acquisition
Data processing and analysis
- Checking and correction of raw images
- Production of analytical media (high-resolution orthoimages or panoramas)
- AI detection of faults and problems in the images
- Defect mapping and highlighting
Viewing and sharing
Deliverables are made available via your private account on the beMap website:
- Orthoimages displayed at full resolution
- Image comparison tools
- Tools for superimposing faults on images
The benefits of the 2D solution:
Archiving an image of the state of the structure at the moment
Remove doubts a posteriori, compare the evolution of disorders between two successive acquisitions.
Sharing and comparing opinions
Review and re-examine the structure from the office, facilitate exchanges between experts.
Preparing the repair project
Locating work zones, extracting relevant quantities and costing repairs, editing work zoning plans.
