Solution Overview

REALPIPE is an AI sewer defect analysis solution that links an Instance Segmentation AI model — trained on some 70,000 polygon data points — to TBEdge to analyze defects and faults in real time from sewer CCTV footage.

Using SHA-256 encryption, digital sealing and an authentication chain on On-Device AI, it fundamentally prevents data tampering, and its GIS visualization makes it easy to analyze pipeline conditions across wide areas.
