Vapar received a $25,000 Minimum Viable Product Grant from Jobs for NSW to develop platform technology using artificial intelligence to automate reviews of pipeline CCTV footage. Vapar was founded by civil engineer Amanda Siqueira and mechatronic engineer Michelle Aguilar.
Aguilar said the technology will allow local councils and water utilities to upload pipe CCTV inspection footage of pipes directly to the cloud platform for automatic analysis.
“Our system cuts a two-day process down to two minutes, reducing inspection costs by 30 per cent and allowing on site repair work to be carried out straight after the inspection,” she said.
Vapar has also been chosen to take part in a 12-month incubator program to develop business opportunities in the Indian market supported by the NSW Government and innovation consultancy Fusion Labs.
