Spot Concrete Defects in Minutes
Instantly analyze thermal and infrared data to pinpoint material flaws.
Manually reviewing thermal scans for defects is tedious and error-prone. Missed flaws or slow reporting can delay projects and increase risk.
A Defect Detection Agent for NDT Specialists is an AI-powered agent that helps identify defects in concrete and building materials by analyzing thermal or infrared data, enabling faster, more accurate assessments.
What this replaces
The hidden cost
What this is really costing you
Reviewing thermal or infrared imagery for flaws in concrete demands intense focus and repetitive manual work. Each scan must be checked frame by frame, often under tight deadlines. Even small oversights can lead to costly structural issues later.

You doing it vs. your agent doing it
Agent skill set
What this agent knows how to do
Thermal Image Analysis
This agent examines uploaded thermal or infrared images and highlights potential defect zones, producing annotated files with visual markers.
Defect Classification
This agent categorizes detected flaws by type (e.g., crack, void, delamination) and generates a summary table for review.
Location Mapping
This agent matches defect locations to blueprint coordinates and outputs a list for site inspection.
Automated Reporting
This agent compiles findings into a formatted PDF report, including images, defect details, and location data.
Data Consistency Checks
This agent flags inconsistent or missing scan data, prompting you to recheck problematic files before finalizing results.
AI Agent FAQ
The agent can process standard thermal and infrared image formats used in NDT workflows. If you use a rare or proprietary format, you may need to convert files before uploading.
The agent provides rapid, consistent analysis but does not replace the need for your expert review. You remain responsible for final validation and decisions.
The agent processes batches on demand and returns results within minutes for typical inspection sets. Extremely large uploads may take longer, depending on file size.
Your uploaded images and reports are processed securely and are not shared outside your organization. Data is deleted after task completion unless you choose to save it.
The agent outputs PDF reports with annotated images and tables. If you need a different format, you can export or convert the results after download.
