ēVision is the field intelligence layer of ēfestos.ai, designed to transform how structural steel is identified, assessed, and reused. Using advanced computer vision and AI, ēVision enables engineers, contractors, and asset owners to scan steel elements directly on-site, automatically detect structural components, and extract critical data such as geometry, condition, and connections. Move beyond manual surveys, spreadsheets, and uncertainty. With ēVision, you can: • Identify structural elements instantly Detect beams, columns, connections, and components using AI-powered image recognition. • Measure and quantify in real time Capture dimensions, profiles, and key properties directly from images or scans. • Assess condition and defects Detect corrosion, damage, and surface conditions to inform reuse decisions. • Generate reuse-ready data Convert site observations into structured digital inventories linked to ēfestos.ai. • Bridge field to platform Seamlessly sync data with ēMaps, ēDesign, and ēAnalytics for full lifecycle reuse workflows. Built for the circular construction era ēVision enables a new workflow: scan → understand → reuse Turning existing structures into measurable, valuable, and reusable assets. Why it matters Reusing steel can save up to ~1.5 tonnes of CO₂ per tonne. ēVision makes this scalable by unlocking reliable, data-driven decision-making in the field. Professional-grade performance Designed for engineers and industry professionals, ēVision integrates advanced AI models with practical workflows used in real projects. ēVision is not just a scanning tool. It is the first step toward turning buildings into data, and data into reusable value.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: ēVision at none against Scriptable's 3. ēVision also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 69%). Scriptable's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 6 weeks) and chart position (#13 vs unranked). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
