Dubai Municipality To Test Construction Materials Using AI Robots
The technology shortens testing from 4 days to 8 minutes, according to experts.
The Central Laboratory of Dubai Municipality is now using robots employing X-Rays and AI technology to conduct the automated chemical analysis of various construction materials, including cement.
Testing is linked to a smart laboratory platform, allowing engineers to receive inspection reports through smartphones and other mobile devices. The new system will improve the quality of the Municipality’s testing services to meet top international construction standards.
