IDS GeoRadar launches Ai.DA, the AI based Software Monitoring Tool for an intelligent Support to Radar Data Interpretation

Pioneering the introduction of Artificial Intelligence in slope stability monitoring, Ai.DA exploits AI with smart radar data processing to support geotechnical professionals in decision-making.

IDS GeoRadar, part of Hexagon, today announces the new solution for geotechnical professionals that pioneers the introduction of Artificial Intelligence in slope stability monitoring – Ai.DA, the AI-based software monitoring tool for Guardian.

Ai.DA is an Artificial Intelligence-based software tool providing an additional smart processing layer to radar data. Ai.DA, through the use of AI algorithms, simplifies the identification of movements from possible residual noise by evaluating the consistency of the detected movement trend with typical slope instabilities behaviors and models, helping professionals to optimize processes and take better decisions.

Ai.DA is an intelligent support to radar data interpretation and is fully integrated with Guardian, IDS GeoRadar’s powerful and user-friendly software to manage slope stability risks in both open pit mining operations and natural geo-hazards. Guardian’s processed radar data is automatically pushed to Ai.DA providing an additional smart processing layer that highlights quick moving areas through an intuitive interface with a clear and detailed view on a 3D map.

Ai.DA can provide simultaneous data processing of radar data originating from one to six different radars and highlights timely localized and quick moving areas, which are often difficult to manage, for improved decision-making.

“With Ai.DA, we are pioneering the use of Artificial Intelligence in slope stability monitoring, and we commit to providing customers with state-of-the-art technology solutions to support radar data interpretation,” said Angela Patera, Guardian Product Owner at IDS GeoRadar. “Interpreting the big amount of available data is the new challenge for geotechnical engineers and Ai.DA represents a valuable support to this demanding task.”

Our use of Sand brings us “up against the Wall”, says UNEP Report

50 billion tons: enough to build a wall 27 metres wide and 27 metres high around planet Earth. This is the volume of sand and gravel used each year, making it the second most used resource worldwide after water. Given our dependency on it, sand must be recognised as a strategic resource and its extraction and use needs to be rethought, finds a new report by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP).
