Three ways to raise the bar

The field-inspection stack, end to end

AI that sees, hardware that measures, and training that proves competence. Each strong alone, unstoppable together.

Forge AI computer vision

Build your own inspection AI. No code.

Forge turns your best inspectors' judgement into a computer-vision model. Label a handful of examples, train in the browser, and put it on any phone in the field. No data scientists required.

  • Label your own faults: pass, fail and everything between
  • Train custom models in minutes, right in the browser
  • Deploy to any smartphone camera on site
  • Every check logged and audit-ready
Fault 92%
Pass 98%
Model confidence98.6%
