Electricians need to quickly identify whether electrical junction boxes are installed at proper distances from joists to comply with building codes, but current methods are slow and prone to error.

Electricians currently rely on manual measurement and visual inspection which is time-consuming and error-prone, leading to potential code violations and rework.
