The future of infrastructure monitoring: From manual surveys to AI-powered geospatial solutions
By Amit Sharma, Founder and Whole Time Director at Matrix Geo Solutions

But there has been little advancement in terms of how these assets are managed. Human-led surveys, inspection rounds, and physical inspection of assets have been the norm for decades now.

In a world where infrastructure is expanding fast and aging at the same time, old methods are no longer enough. A new era is unfolding. It is driven by geospatial intelligence, artificial intelligence, and connected systems.
Past Limitations
Infrastructure monitoring involved human labor. Engineers used to visit sites, look for any visible flaws and damages, measure wear levels, and generate reports. It was a viable approach at a time...
