Key benefits

YellowScan LiDAR systems generate accurate and cost effective aerial imagery using lightweight UAV LiDAR solutions.

Vegetation encroachment

The only technology that gives the true distance to the vegetation in near real-time. Scan fast-growing vegetation sections as often as needed.

Industries energy scan

Optimized maintenance operations

Ideal for surveying limited sections of the network which has not/can’t be scanned with airborne LiDAR (leftovers, hard-to-access, fast-growing vegetation sections…)

Industries energy maintenance

Low mobilization and demobilization

Easy to deploy and cost-effective tools for mapping areas of interest.
