FINALIST SOLUTIONS
WINNING SOLUTION 2023

Azisa & Aren

The winning project, jointly piloted by Azisa, based in Gijón, and Aren, based in New York, represents a turning point in infrastructure inspection thanks to the Spanish company’s experience offering drone-based inspection services and the American company’s technology as an expert in artificial intelligence applied to the structure management.

This initiative provides end-to-end industrial inspection services using unmanned vehicles such as drones, UGVs, ROVs and USVs. It also uses different software tools to create valuable 2D and 3D information and Artificial Intelligence to process and analyse damage to concrete and metal structures.
