New solution from CGI enables deeper real-time
data analysis, monitoring, and response
not previously possible through traditional technology and
human-only efforts
MONTRÉAL, Jan. 16,
2024 /PRNewswire/ - CGI (NYSE: GIB) (TSX: GIB.A)
today announces the launch of new computer vision solution, CGI
Machine Vision, which uses the power of artificial intelligence
(AI) to transform asset and infrastructure monitoring. The solution
enables organizations across industries to improve processes,
increase efficiencies and reduce costs by generating business
intelligence not previously possible through traditional monitoring
solutions or human-only inspection.
CGI Machine Vision, developed by CGI AI experts in Australia, uses deep neural network AI and
edge-computing technologies to extract data from Internet of
Things (IoT) sensors. Data captured by cameras, drones, and
other IoT devices is processed by AI at the site of its collection
and only relevant data is pushed to data operations. Edge-computing
eliminates transmission delays and bandwidth concerns. With this
real-time and relevant data, organizations benefit from deeper
levels of data analysis, enabling the adoption of predictive and
proactive operational models.
"The types of data and insights that AI technology can generate
are truly limitless, leading to unprecedented use cases such as
those advanced by CGI Machine Vision," said Dr. Diane Gutiw, CGI Vice-President and Global AI
Research Lead. "At CGI, we're continuing to invest in AI and its
responsible use to discover new ways for improving business and
society through AI-powered business intelligence. This includes
developing solutions like CGI Machine Vision to help organizations
more effectively monitor and safeguard their valuable assets."
With CGI Machine Vision, industries such as utilities,
transportation, and telecommunications can continuously monitor
remote infrastructure, identifying foliage incursion, deterioration
through wear and tear, and other issues more effectively. Further,
enabling computer vision on moving platforms, such as trains and
trucks, improves citizen safety. In addition, CGI Machine Vision
increases worker safety by monitoring safety compliance and
threats.
"There are some things that simple telemetry and IoT sensors
cannot detect, and many scenarios where physical, human inspection
of assets is impractical, or where monitoring by video or camera
produces data that cannot be usefully interpreted," explains
Neville Richards, Director,
Consulting Services, Operational Technology for CGI in Australia. "CGI Machine Vision's edge-AI
technology can look for a range of issues and alert when problems
are detected."
He added, "The system can deliver immense value to organizations
by enabling them to make the most out of their IoT tools and the
data those tools generate. By providing a new stream of business
intelligence, it can support a wide range of improvements to work
processes and reduce costs."
The Australian launch of CGI Machine Vision follows several
successful pilots, including in the United Kingdom where it has been used by water
treatment operators to enhance existing alert systems and provide
real-time monitoring of remote and unattended sites.
CGI Machine Vision can be deployed on a range of vision capture
devices and other sensors, and its AI-processed output can be
tailored to integrate with a variety of client applications. The
flexibility of the solution addresses a broad range of computer
vision-oriented business challenges.
CGI's end-to-end capabilities in data science and machine
learning, combined with its deep domain knowledge and technology
engineering skills, help clients generate new insights,
experiences, and business models powered by AI. For more
