The product

End-to-end automated safety inspection

High-risk industries lose lives, time and capital to preventable safety lapses. InspectNet closes that gap by combining advanced robotic data acquisition with regulation-compliant data processing to generate hazard alerts and auditable site reports in real time.

Built privacy-by-design, with anonymization embedded throughout the pipeline.

  • Real-time hazard alerts

    Notifications reach safety teams the moment a risk is detected.

  • Auditable site reports

    Generated automatically at configured intervals, ready for regulators.

  • Non-disruptive capture

    Robots collect structured data without interrupting operations.

  • Regulation-compliant

    Pipelines aligned to industry safety standards out of the box.

How it works

Three integrated stages

From the rotor blades to the report. One continuous pipeline.

  1. 01

    Data acquisition

    Autonomous robots capture structured, high-quality data without disrupting operations on site. User input is seamlessly integrated into the pipeline.

  2. 02

    Intelligent processing

    An AI pipeline identifies safety risks and anomalies in near real-time across 2D and 3D scenes.

  3. 03

    Alerts & reporting

    Immediate notifications to safety teams, and auditable reports generated at configured intervals.

Technology

Robotics and AI, engineered together

Hardware

Ultra-compact drones

Sub-250-gram, C0-class compliant aircraft cleared to operate in indoor and outdoor environments without heavy regulatory friction.

Hardware

Indoor & outdoor docking

Compact docking stations require minimal infrastructure, enabling persistent autonomous operation on any site.

Coordination

Swarm-enabled throughput

Multi-robot coordination delivers 5× the throughput of a single unit, covering more area in less time.

AI & computer vision

Detection & segmentation

Object detection, instance segmentation and 3D spatial analysis pinpoint hazards across 2D imagery and reconstructed scenes.

AI & computer vision

Vision-language models

Fine-tuned VLMs reason over scenes the way an inspector would, flagging context-specific risks, not just objects.

Privacy

Privacy by design

Anonymization is built into the pipeline, keeping people on site safe and identifiable data out of the model.

What we detect

Nine categories of site hazards

A single pipeline, trained on the failure modes that matter.

InspectNet detecting workers, machinery, guardrails and openings across a worksite
Live detection across an active worksite. Workers, machinery, guardrails, openings and elevated platforms identified simultaneously.
  • PPE non-compliance
  • Unprotected edges
  • Danger-zone violations
  • Unstable objects
  • Missing signage
  • Machinery proximity
  • Fire risks
  • Temporary structure failures
  • Struck-by hazards

Where we are

Incubated at EPFL, Headed for MVP

Raven Intelligent Systems is currently under EPFL incubation, finalizing prototypes and advancing toward a MVP release. We have started our pre-pilot study at EPFL Double Deck construction site and actively looking for pilot partners across construction, energy and heavy manufacturing.

Become a pilot partner
  • Today

    Prototypes in iteration. Pre-pilots started. Pre-seed stage.

  • Next

    MVP release with full three-stage pipeline.

  • Beyond

    Swarm-scale deployments across construction, energy & manufacturing with expanded hazard coverage.
