AI, IoT Platform Streamlines Infrastructure Maintenance, Reduces Costs

BrightAI, a company that develops AI-driven solutions for critical infrastructure, has launched Stateful OS, an AI platform designed to enable infrastructure operators to manage maintenance tasks more efficiently.

Infrastructure maintenance traditionally relies on reactive and inefficient practices, such as routine visits and manual checks, without real-time visibility of problems such as power outages, water main breaks and gas leaks. Labor and truck rolls can consume up to 80% of operations budgets, meaning this reactive approach can lead to costly failures.

Stateful OS aims to provide real-time data insights for industries such as water, energy, transportation, construction, pest control and manufacturing to prevent failures and reduce costs.

It collects data from more than 250,000 active AI endpoints at 25,000 AI locations to fuel its multimodal AI models. These models enable the detection of infrastructure flaws before they escalate, allowing workers to act quickly and precisely as and when needed.

According to BrightAI, Stateful OS offers 24/7 monitoring, diagnostics and automated dispatch for real-time insights into infrastructure conditions. For the on-site workforce, it enables AI-powered field reporting and copilot guidance support. It aims to improve inspection accuracy and reduce risk with autonomous inspection, using automated, AI-driven systems for complex, repetitive and hazardous tasks,

Use Case: Azuria Water Solutions

One early adopter, Azuria Water Solutions, used Stateful OS to overcome challenges in pipeline inspections. Traditional methods rely on subjective, manual assessments, which can lead to costly errors.

BrightAI is building autonomous systems for infrastructure inspections and operations and Azuria will deploy these robotic systems equipped with multimodal AI sensors, which will collect real-time data processed through BrightAI’s Stateful OS platform. Azuria expects this to lead to reduced measurement errors and process reduction.

BrightAI recently secured $15 million in series seed funding, led by Upfront Ventures, which the company intends to use to further develop the platform and grow its customer base..
