About HyLight
HyLight combines airship-based data collection with an analysis service for infrastructure owners. Its aircraft carry payloads that can include LiDAR, optical cameras and gas-leak detection sensors, collecting different types of information along routes such as power lines, railways and pipelines. The buoyant platform is designed for extended, low-speed inspection campaigns over long distances.
Collected measurements feed into a dashboard that turns aerial survey data into information about the monitored assets. This connects flight operations with the review of infrastructure condition and potential problems. HyLight’s offering therefore includes both the aircraft used to gather observations and the software through which inspection results are examined.
