Meet the Startup: Manam Applications

Have you ever thought about the time and money spent on bridge inspection analysis? Most of us haven’t, but Gilad Shlush and his team in Manam Applications have. Their cutting-edge product uses 3D analysis of bridges to provide automated inspection and infrastructure management.

Currently, the bridge inspection market suffers from several issues that can be solved with innovation and automation:

• Visual inspection at close range can be hazardous and risky.
• Lengthy processes due to complexity of projects
• Manual reporting with minimal automation
• Specialized equipment needed for inspections
• Inspections can be disruptive to road users
• High inspection costs

With a global market of more than $10B per year, and a market of $2.5B per year in North America alone, Manam Applications created an end-to-end solution for infrastructure management and automated inspections, providing inspection management, sophisticated data analysis, and automatic reports, insights, and recommendations.

With the usage of drones, the company is able to create a 3D digital twin of a bridge, upload the image to their platform and enable the bridge engineer to inspect the bridge closely with no risk involved, and record any identified defects.

Manam’s tools have already generated great results for their customers with 50% less time in the field, 80% fewer road closure, 100% visual coverage, 70% less time to generate a report, and 30% cost reduction.

With a patent already registered in the U.S. and a full product release, Manam Applications is heading towards a true disruption of a highly complex construction field.
