LG&M, LLC: ROPE EYE > Rope Eye is a camera-based scanner designed to automate the inspec- tion of ropeway lifts and funiculars. The Rope Eye scanner uses high-res- olution imaging and advanced AI to detect potential defects in wire ropes and advise operators of potential issues in real time. The system can be permanently mounted or used for periodic inspections. It captures a full recording of the rope’s surface and saves it for review by a qualified inspector, and the AI machine learning provides the inspector with a list of all recognized defect types and locations for the inspector to accept or reject. Every test is digitally documented, including all defects, diameter changes, lay length changes, or other potentially unsafe conditions so any changes can be traced over the rope’s entire life cycle. ropeeye.com
