Record360 Introduces AI Blur Detection Feature, Ensuring Only High Quality Images Used for Inspections
Record360, a rental inspection software provider, announced the first of many features in its upcoming AI-powered suite. The new AI Blur Detection feature helps users avoid blurry photos in real-time, ensuring only high-quality images make it to their inspection.
“Our new AI Blur Detection feature is an absolute game changer for our customers,” said Kat Gillis, general manager, Record360. “We spoke to dozens of customers to understand what features would be most impactful in their business today. Our bespoke blur technology sets a new level of quality and efficiency for inspections, bringing a whole new standard of innovation to our industry.”
Designed to improve the quality of images taken during an inspection, without sacrificing ease of use, inspectors and managers can now experience the benefits of clearer, more accurate image documentation.
Utilizing the Blur Detection tool, the user is guaranteed to perfectly capture sharp photos every time. The feature indicates when a user is about to take a blurry photo, providing them with real-time feedback. Additionally, inspectors are able to review blurry photos from their media gallery, either replacing or deleting them.
The Blur Detection feature also gives managers greater control and confidence in the inspection process. By ensuring that only high-quality images are included in inspection reports, managers can rely on accurate documentation to make informed decisions.
"Our team developed this feature entirely in-house to address a critical customer need for high-quality images," said Haiz Oppenheimer, director of engineering, Record360. "Utilizing our custom-developed AI model and deploying it on edge devices allows for on-device inference, significantly enhancing customer privacy by eliminating the need for data to be sent to third-party servers."
“Our future AI-driven features will improve the customer experience, streamline operations and promote data-driven decision-making,” said Gillis. “This adaptation will help Record360 customers secure a solid place in the industry’s digital future.”
Record360 provides a mobile-based inspection and workflow platform that simplifies how companies manage their asset condition reporting of their fleet. Its products give the user the ability to capture high-quality images, crucial for accurately documenting their fleet condition over time. Record360 was acquired by Point of Rental in February this year, which allows the team to accelerate the pace of product innovation, increase its global footprint, and continue to set a new standard in mobile digital documentation tools. The new Blur Detection feature is currently available across all of their applications (iOS, Android and web). Additional AI features will be introduced throughout the year.
