Qii.AI
5.4/10Web-based AI platform that labels, analyzes, and auto-detects defects such as corrosion and cracks in drone, thermal, sonar, and LiDAR infrastructure inspection data.

Overview
Qii.AI is a Canadian inspection analytics platform. It grew out of Industrial SkyWorks, a drone inspection services company founded in 2014. The software is web-based. Teams upload inspection imagery of bridges, dams, roads and runways, ships, towers, and wind turbines, then label defects and train their own detection models. The vendor calls this an engineering domain transfer approach, meaning it turns an engineer's judgement into a reusable algorithm. Image segmentation lets it measure defects such as corrosion, cracking, delamination, and potholes, and it compares inspections over time to show how fast a defect is growing. Qii.AI says its visualization was the first to merge sonar data from below the waterline with visual, thermal, and LiDAR data from above it into one view of an asset. The platform also builds digital twin views and lets users share data with outside consultants. Each licensee gets its own siloed database and AI models. The main integration is with Skydio 3D Scan, and Skydio drones gathered the imagery for the Royal Canadian Navy's hull corrosion program, which Canada's Naval Engineering Test Establishment licensed in 2023. In the US, Carahsoft distributes Qii.AI to public-sector buyers. No prices are published. Pricing comes through a license and AI customization agreement arranged with sales or with Carahsoft. The main limitation is that Qii.AI only covers inspection analysis. It has no work orders, maintenance scheduling, or parts inventory, and public documentation, reviews, and integration lists are sparse.

Who Qii.AI is best for
Good fit
It was built by a former drone inspection company to process drone-captured imagery and integrates with Skydio 3D Scan.
The platform is sold to the public sector through Carahsoft and is used by Canada's Department of National Defence for ship inspections.
Engineers can train their own defect detection models and share inspection data with outside consultants.
Less suited
Dam, tower, and road inspection are among the documented use cases.
Pros & Cons
Pros
- Users can label their own data and train detection models for custom defects, such as dents or electrical resistors.
- It merges sonar data with visual, thermal, and LiDAR data in one asset view, which helps with marine and dam inspections.
- It has been proven in a defence setting through the Royal Canadian Navy hull corrosion program.
- Each licensee gets a siloed database and its own AI models, so customer data is not used to benefit other customers.
Cons
- No public pricing. Every deal goes through sales or Carahsoft.
- Directories list few integrations. Skydio is the only well-documented one.
- It has no maintenance management features, such as work orders or scheduling.
- There are very few independent user reviews, only a handful on G2.
