What is AI-driven material testing and how does it improve construction quality?
AI-driven material testing uses machine learning, computer vision, and predictive analytics to assess material properties, detect defects, forecast performance, and ensure compliance. It reduces errors, speeds up testing, and improves safety.
What outputs can I expect from AI-based material testing?
Outputs include material property predictions (strength, durability), pass/fail compliance results, defect detection reports, predictive performance analytics, confidence scores, visual dashboards, and actionable recommendations for quality improvement.
