Exa launches ship maintenance automation as it builds physical AI platform
Exa said it is stepping up development of a physical AI platform aimed at reducing hazardous work and addressing labor shortages, starting with automation of ship maintenance and inspection.
What happened
Exa announced Sept. 1 that it had stepped up a project to develop a physical AI platform. As its first initiative, it will automate ship maintenance and inspections by combining data collection with drones, AI analysis and visualization on a digital twin.
Why it matters
Ship maintenance and inspections involve many hazardous tasks in confined spaces and at heights, adding to on-site workloads and contributing to labor shortages. Exa has outlined a plan to analyze drone-collected data with AI and visualize it on a digital twin to automate inspection procedures, specifying what it aims to replace in the field.
