Best Showcase Category:
Defining New Professional Workflows

This category highlighted projects that established a new standard for efficiency and affordability in engineering and utility workflows. 

Qualus (formerly Aquawolf)

Qualus achieved high precision and affordability in critical infrastructure analysis. By integrating Looq’s sub-centimeter 3D photogrammetric data with the structural engineering power of Bentley’s PLS-CADD, they created an automated, cost-effective workflow proving they could reduce pole modeling time by over 60% and ensured superior, defensible structural assessments for a major western utility.

“Judging the Looq AI awards is truly a privilege. These innovators demonstrate their creativity and technical mastery redefining artificial intelligence by setting new standards for excellence, responsibility, and inspirational transformation across industries.”
Peggy Smedley​Editorial Director and President, Specialty Publishing Media ​
“I really enjoyed serving as a juror for the Looq AI competition. I’ve been keeping an eye on the company for a few years now, and it’s great to see how far they have come as well as the projects they’re working with to improve the infrastructure industry with innovative and effective technology.”
Todd DanielsonEditorial Director, V1 Media
“I had the honor of meeting the Looq AI team at DISTRIBUTECH earlier this year. Since then, I’ve enjoyed following the team’s continued success and was truly honored to be invited to participate as a judge in Looq AI’s video contest this fall. Watching the submissions highlighting the many use cases for the qCam and the Looq Platform was very informative, and the creativity across the videos made the experience especially engaging. It was a fun and collaborative experience.”
