Launching Inspection Cloud at TUS Nordics
After two years of building in stealth, I finally showed Inspection Cloud publicly at TUS Nordics in Odense. Innovation Fund Denmark backed us with a Grand Solutions grant. The response was overwhelming.
Last week I presented Inspection Cloud at TUS Nordics in Odense. After two years of building in relative secrecy, it was a relief to finally show what EasyInspect has been working on.
Inspection Cloud is a SaaS platform for drone-based infrastructure inspection. Wind turbine blades, bridges, power lines, buildings. A drone pilot flies the inspection, the images are uploaded, and the platform handles the rest: organizing images by component, AI-assisted defect detection, 2D and 3D visualization, measurement tools, reporting, and historical change tracking across inspections.
The technology
I built the platform from scratch in Laravel. The backend handles image processing pipelines, storage at scale (some inspections produce tens of thousands of high-resolution images), and a reporting engine that generates client-ready reports. The frontend is a purpose-built inspection workspace where analysts can zoom into blade surfaces at full resolution, mark defects, measure distances and surfaces, and compare findings against previous inspections.
The computer vision work is what makes it interesting. We are using AI for automatic damage detection in concrete structures and wind turbine blades. The system identifies cracks, delamination, erosion, and other damage types, then lets analysts confirm or correct the findings. It composes image data into accurate 3D models that teams can collaborate on in real time.
The grant
Earlier this year, Innovation Fund Denmark awarded us a Grand Solutions grant to continue developing the platform. That funding has let us invest in the computer vision pipeline and 3D reconstruction algorithms that are the core differentiators.
We also have David Helgason, co-founder of Unity Technologies, as a technical advisor. His experience with 3D rendering and real-time visualization has been valuable in shaping the inspection workspace.
The interest
The interest at TUS Nordics was overwhelming. Infrastructure companies, energy providers, and inspection firms all have the same problem: they are drowning in inspection images with no good way to organize, compare, or report on them.
Here is a sample of what the drone footage looks like up close on a wind turbine blade inspection:
We are talking to Vejdirektoratet, Sund & Bælt, SBB, Cowi, and Rambøll. The pipeline inspection market is enormous, and nobody has the software layer figured out yet.
