Faced with the challenge of scalable visual inspections for 5G pre/post-construction documentation, Airweb Digital was part of the solution to modernize inspections. The primary objective was to create an efficient, safe, and digital workflow that eliminated the need for tower climbers.

The ideal aim was to reduce the traditional inspection time by 30%. The focus was on not just speed but ensuring safety and data accuracy.

Leveraging cutting-edge drone technology and AI analytics, Airweb Digital implemented a multi-faceted approach:

- Drone-Assisted Inspections: Eliminated the need for tower climbers, prioritizing safety.

- AI Analytics: Enabled more reliable, swift assessments of tower conditions.

- Remote QA Team: Supported field technicians through a centralized quality assurance setup.

The main challenge lay in building a network of field technicians skilled in drone operations. These technicians were crucial in collecting as-built data for post-processing and subsequent remote inspections.

The digital workflow exceeded expectations:
- Inspection time reduced by over 75%
- .A seamless global workflow that was even accessible on mobile devices.
- An average of 5 inspections handled daily by a single field tech and a remote QA team, compared to the older method requiring two field crew members, one of whom had to climb the tower.

Our solutions not only met but far exceeded the initial objectives, setting a new industry standard for efficiency and safety.
