P57 · Implementation blueprint · Mappls Asset Inspection AI

Drone, LiDAR, Reality Capture & Inspection

Assets, corridors and sites lack current, measurable ground truth, making inspection, planning and change detection slow and costly.

01 · Target operating outcome

Define the change before choosing the technology

Which high-cost field inspection or survey can be converted into repeatable digital evidence?

Faster and safer surveys/inspections; lower field cost and rework; current evidence for asset, planning and compliance decisions.

Baseline

Measure current volume, time, cost, failure, service, risk and revenue at the workflow level.

Target

Accuracy/completeness accepted; cycle time and field exposure reduce; repeat update method agreed.

02 · Solution architecture

One connected flow from source data to operational action

Drone/LiDAR/360/imagery capture, orthomosaic/3D models, feature extraction, inspection analytics, change detection, GIS/digital twin integration. Mappls connects proprietary map and location intelligence with drone/lidar/360/imagery capture, orthomosaic/3d models, feature extraction, inspection analytics, change detection, gis/digital twin integration. We start with one measurable workflow, prove the operating impact, and scale through reusable data, APIs and SaaS rather than a one-off implementation.

Data foundation

Map, customer, asset, sensor and enterprise data

Intelligence services

Search, routing, GeoAI, rules and spatial models

Role workflows

Asset risk · Imagery review · Inspection · Defects · Remediation

Decision and outcome

Faster and safer surveys/inspections; lower field cost and rework; current evidence for asset, planning and compliance decisions.

The shared Mappls identity is separated from application membership. A user can be an administrator in one app, an analyst in another and a viewer elsewhere.

04 · Data and integration

Connect the minimum information needed to make the workflow real

Location foundation

Map, road, address, place, imagery, boundary and terrain layers appropriate to the decision.

Enterprise context

Customer, order, asset, vehicle, incident, task, sensor or transaction records from systems of record.

Integration pattern

APIs, SDKs, secure batch, streaming events, webhooks, files or on-premise integration depending on architecture.

Security and control

Least-privilege RBAC, audit events, encrypted transport, tenant separation and cloud, private or offline deployment.

05 · Proof of value

Use a bounded implementation to answer the scale decision

Capture representative site/corridor and deliver accepted model plus one inspection/change workflow.

  • Confirm data, geography, users and workflow: What accuracy, frequency and legal/safety standards apply? Which decisions consume the output?
  • Configure Mappls Asset Inspection AI for the selected role set
  • Run baseline and intervention scenarios with real stakeholder reviews
  • Evaluate agreed criteria: Accuracy/completeness accepted; cycle time and field exposure reduce; repeat update method agreed.
  • Package production scope and commercial model: Per-area/asset survey + analytics/platform + recurring update service.
