The Role in the AUTOASSESS project
As the data integrator for AUTOASSESS, Cognite provides the data user interface and decision support system built on Cognite Data Fusion. Their role is to ingest and integrate all UAS inspection data, making it accessible through a GUI. This enables operators, surveyors, and ship owners to visualize findings, analyze trends, and effectively decide where follow-up inspection missions need to occur.
