Driving Smart Infrastructure Innovation in the Steel Valley
Right here in West Homestead, EDGE AI Solutions is proving that big ideas and cutting-edge technology don’t have to come from big cities. Founded in 2020 and based in the Steel Valley, EDGE AI Solutions is a growing tech company using artificial intelligence and robotics to help communities better maintain critical infrastructure like sewer, stormwater, and water systems.
What They Do (In Plain Terms)
EDGE AI Solutions designs smart, portable robotic inspection tools that allow municipalities and engineers to inspect underground pipes more quickly, safely, and affordably. Their flagship system, the Pipe Dream® Inspection Suite, uses cameras, sensors, and AI-supported software to capture detailed inspection data without the bulky equipment traditionally required for this work.
For local governments, this means:
-
Faster inspections
-
Lower costs
-
Better data to plan repairs
-
Less disruption to streets and neighborhoods
In fact, West Homestead Borough has already used this technology to improve sewer inspections while saving money — a win for both taxpayers and infrastructure planning.
Investing in the Next Generation
EDGE AI Solutions is also investing in local students and workforce development. The company has partnered with Steel Valley School District, giving students hands-on experience in engineering, robotics, and real-world problem solving. These opportunities help students see career pathways in technology without having to leave the community.

EDGE AI Solutions represents the next chapter of Steel Valley innovation — taking the region’s legacy of industry and applying it to modern challenges. By combining advanced technology with practical solutions, they are helping communities maintain essential systems while creating high-skill jobs and learning opportunities right here at home.
