It collects data from sensors, drones, and robotics, and uses multimodal AI to detect issues, predict failures, and deliver actionable insights to field teams. The system can retrofit legacy infrastructure, enabling large service companies to modernize without replacing systems, with asset visibility, wearables, and autonomous inspections supported by edge computing. BrightAI targets utilities, water, HVAC, and manufacturing customers, aiming to shift infrastructure management from reactive to proactive and create high switching costs through an integrated hardware-software stack.
