Insights Through Tailored & Pragmatic AI

No two infrastructure organizations, inspection workflows, or data pipelines are identical. At Tiecken Solutions, we avoid generic off-the-shelf software and focus on dedicated, client-specific solutions.

We thoroughly analyze your operational challenges, existing software architecture, and data formats upfront. Whether dealing with rail track visual inspections, 3D LiDAR datasets, or technical documentation, we engineer and deploy AI models tailored specifically to your needs.

Our Mission

At Tiecken Solutions, we transform complex visual datasets, 3D point clouds, and documentation into automated, actionable insights. We empower organizations to perform asset inspections, safety audits, and maintenance planning faster, safer, and with higher precision using Computer Vision and AI.

3D Clearance & Collision Detection

Combining 3D point clouds with high-precision GPS and IMU data (pitch, yaw, and roll). A virtual vehicle gauge clearance model traverses the point cloud to identify potential infrastructure collisions.

3D LiDAR Point Clouds & Scan-to-BIM

Large-scale 3D point clouds hold valuable insights for rail network operators, engineering consultancies, and contractors. Our AI algorithms automatically process millions of LiDAR points into classified spatial objects and clearance analytics.

Furthermore, we continually invest in R&D for automated Scan-to-BIM workflows, enabling faster conversion of raw 3D point cloud data into structured CAD and BIM models.

3D Segmentation & Clearance

Automated detection of rails, vegetation, signal posts, masts, and overhead wires in LiDAR point clouds with millimeter-grade clearance measurements.

Scan-to-BIM Workflows

Our innovation roadmap focuses on converting 3D LiDAR point cloud datasets into structured, open-standard 3D BIM models (IFC) for civil infrastructure.

Agentic AI & Document Intelligence

Autonomous AI agents and RAG pipelines designed to search, analyze, and integrate complex technical specifications, standards, and engineering reports into your workflows (including local / on-premise deployment).
