Remote Inspection and Aerial Data Collection

A Richer View

Need better, richer asset data? We can help. Our industry leading sensor payloads give single-flight insight via helicopter, plus remote inspections via state-of-the-art automated and piloted drones. Fly the line, don’t walk it.

Rich Data

LiDAR

Gather large-scale geospatial data to create a detailed 3D point cloud replica of your assets. Map every conductor, pole or tree for granular analysis. What’s more, this will serve as the asset-map for future drone-based automatic detailed inspection.

RGB HD Imagery

Capture high-definition images of your assets from multiple angles to enhance remote component defect inspection. Every image is geotagged and linked to the specific component for easy, rapid remote inspection.

Hyperspectral

Use hyperspectral imaging to collect data from parts of the electromagnetic spectrum invisible to the human eye, enabling insights such as vegetation health and species detection for smarter vegetation management planning.

IR Imagery

Apply infrared thermal imaging for instant hotspot detection, helping you to identify equipment failure risks ahead of time and enhancing preventative asset management programs while improving safety.
