With built-in functionalities and the flexibility to integrate bespoke AI models, the platform adapts to meet your specific operational needs, ensuring seamless AI integration for optimal performance.

Built-in AI features

Fulcrum currently offers two practical AI tools directly within its platform, face blurring and text extraction. The face blurring feature automatically ensures privacy compliance by processing images directly on devices, preventing data exposure. Additionally, Fulcrum’s text extraction feature simplifies data entry by capturing text from images, thereby reducing errors and saving time in the field.

Custom AI integration capabilities

Fulcrum allows for the integration of your own AI models to suit your specific requirements, opening possibilities for enhancing field operations including:

  • Asset recognition: Automate the logging of assets such as poles and manholes, minimizing manual input.
  • Inspection validation: Verify inspection data even when offline, ensuring accuracy and completeness.
  • Vegetation management: Monitor and manage vegetation impact on infrastructure using your AI algorithms.
  • Safety checks: Use your AI model to automate the detection of hazards and compliance issues, enhancing safety protocols.

These capabilities demonstrate how Fulcrum can serve as a foundation for leveraging AI to increase operational efficiency and ensure data reliability.
