Critical Infrastructure Inspection

Autonomous inspection of pipelines, towers, and tanks — defects found, measured, and ticketed before they fail.

Manual inspection of linear and high-risk assets is slow, dangerous, and inconsistent. Crews rope-access towers and confined-space tanks on a calendar, not on condition. Small defects become outages. Centertron flies the asset, measures every anomaly, and updates the World Model of asset health.

Expected outcome

100% of routes inspected on schedule. Defects auto-detected, sized, and pushed to the CMMS as work orders with photo evidence.

Runs as a continuous outcome

Provisioned as a continuous outcome — schedule adherence held to an SLA, with slipping coverage surfaced by Autopilot and reflected in asset-reliability rollups.

Install this pack, then graduate it into a continuous outcome from My Workflows — it earns autonomy (shadow → assisted → autonomous) as it proves itself on real telemetry.

Agent steps

1
Perceive
Captures RGB + thermal + LiDAR of the asset and aligns it to the prior World-Model scan.
2
Navigate
Flies the inspection path with terrain + no-fly awareness; holds standoff distance automatically.
3
Inspect
Detects corrosion, cracks, hotspots, vegetation encroachment, and leaks.
4
Measure
Sizes each defect (mm / °C delta) and grades severity against engineering thresholds.
5
Decide
Auto-close clean assets; raise a graded work order for anything over tolerance.
6
Report & log
Writes the inspection record + evidence to the CMMS and the Decision Log.

State Transformation

A formal contract: what this pack converts, with explicit uncertainty bounds and verification criteria.

Initial state

Asset of unknown current condition with last inspection drifting out of date

Target state

Verified asset condition with every anomaly detected, sized, graded, and dispositioned (closed | work-ordered)

Invariants (must hold)

asset id resolved in registerstandoff distance heldevidence geo-tagged

Uncertainty bounds (max acceptable error)

max_missed_defect≤ 2.0%

max_severity_misgrade≤ 5.0%

Verification: Full route coverage + CMMS work-order write + evidence stored against asset id
