London-based Hammer Missions, an AI firm innovating how house owners, architects, engineers and contractors examine constructed constructions with drone know-how, has raised €1.6 million in new funding to speed up its AI know-how improvement and strategic growth into North America.

Nonetheless, Hammer argues that conventional inspection strategies typically require the deployment of specialized tools on web site, a course of that’s time-consuming and costly.
Hammer’s AI software program resolution maps and inspects constructions and generates tailor-made 3D inspection stories by way of automated drone flights. It captures complete information on constructing property, reportedly decreasing the time and price concerned. It may be used for functions akin to roof & facade investigations, defect detection and thermal forensics.
Its built-in AI software program streamlines the information evaluation and reporting course of, permitting trade professionals to shift their focus from laborious information evaluation to utilizing their time to make knowledgeable, actionable choices and suggestions on constructing security.
