To that end, the company supports visual inspection processes in the maintenance of critical infrastructure, leveraging AI models to detect potential defects and anomalies, thus significantly accelerating the inspection process.Additionally, Unusuals technology incorporates a dedicated software layer for critical infrastructure and uses synthetic data to train AI models. This approach enables the automation of existing asset maintenance processes, reducing costs and minimising risks.Elewits investment in Unusuals is driven by: Scalability and growth potential of the technology. The expertise and talent of the team.While Unusuals previously collaborated with Elewitparticipating in its first venture client programme and winning the Elewit Data Challenge in 2020the startup is now actively involved in the DALIA project. This tool can even be trained using real images or synthetic data that simulate anomalies found in overhead power linesUnusuals plays a key role in this process, offering expertise in synthetic image generation for AI training and working closely with Red El\xe9ctricas team to validate photorealistic images of environments and defects.As a result, Redeias partnership has enabled Unusuals to validate its technology, increase automation levels in visual inspection processes, and expand into new markets and sectors beyond its initial scope.
