The Digitisation tool in DAARWIN revolutionises how historical geotechnical data is processed and utilised. By combining Optical Character Recognition (OCR), advanced AI-based data extraction, and machine learning algorithms, DAARWIN automatically transforms scanned legacy documents—such as borehole logs, in-situ test results, and full geotechnical reports—into structured, digital data. This innovation streamlines access to valuable ground information, enabling engineers to integrate and analyse historical data alongside newly collected information to improve site characterization and decision-making.
Processing legacy data manually has historically been time-consuming and resource-intensive, often preventing its effective use during planning and design. DAARWIN overcomes this limitation with its automated pipeline, which includes image classification, object detection, and text interpretation. By accurately identifying and extracting data, even from degraded or inconsistent formats, DAARWIN ensures that historical ground information becomes fully digitised, reliable, and accessible within a unified platform.
This seamless digitisation workflow allows users to feed legacy data directly into DAARWIN’s Ground Investigation workflows and other modules, improving efficiency, reducing project uncertainty, and delivering smarter, data-driven geotechnical designs.
