Maestrano Group Plc announced the commencement of a new paid pilot project in Japan, won by its recently acquired subsidiary, Airsight. The initial purchase order, from Nagoya Railroad Co Ltd, covers a two month pilot, to capture and analyse data from a section of railway track in Nagoya, Japan. Imagery from LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) and high resolution video will be processed by the Airsight Corridor.ai deep machine learning platform, to automatically detect defects in the overhead powerlines, gantries and signals. The paid pilot follows an earlier trial as referred to in the Shareholder Circular of 15 October 2019. Upon successful completion of the pilot, Meitetsu intends to extend the duration and scope of the project.
