BKwai
BKwai generates structural health insights from multi-sourced site monitoring data to enable smarter decision making on site.
New sensors and satellite technology have the potential to revolutionize the way infrastructure work can be monitored. Data can be used to make smarter, safer, and more economical decisions across asset planning, construction, operation and maintenance. However, in an industry rooted in spreadsheets and manual interventions, finding key insights in large datasets can be challenging.
BKwai combine data from multiple sources (on-site sensors, environmental data, remote satellite data), and provide a complete view of the asset and its surrounding environment. Advanced data science techniques help engineers sift through large volumes of data to identify patterns and early warning signs, mitigating risks and protecting investments throughout the asset lifecycle.
