InfoSense, Inc. is a Charlotte, North Carolina-based company in the utilities sector that develops the Sewer Line Rapid Assessment Tool (SL-RAT). The system uses acoustic inspection to screen small-diameter gravity sewers for blockages, and more than 230 utilities worldwide employ it to evaluate 6- to 18-inch gravity-fed pipes. By screening pipes on-site, the tool helps utilities determine which segments actually require cleaning, allowing maintenance resources to be allocated more efficiently and reducing overflows. The device is portable, requires no flow contact, and is GPS-enabled to support field use. Data collected with SL-RAT can be downloaded, analyzed, visualized, and exported via SL-DOG, a cloud-based software that aligns with the ASTM F3220-17 standard for prioritizing sewer cleaning operations. A notable development in 2026 is the March 13 launch of the SL-DOG mobile app, expanding access to the data workflow.
