The German company Wingcopter is expanding its portfolio and will soon be offering lidar-based surveying solutions. To integrate this new technology, the Wingcopter 198 will be equipped with laser scanning and camera systems. These highly developed systems enable precise and efficient measurements from the air. The new technology has a wide range of applications: it includes the inspection of infrastructure such as power lines, pipelines, rails and roads. The technology also offers interesting potential for mapping difficult-to-access terrain and vegetation.
With this step, Wingcopter is responding to the increasing demand for precise, cost-effective and fast solutions for surveying and inspecting infrastructural and natural features. By using drone technology, potentially dangerous or hard-to-reach areas can be monitored quickly and safely. The use of lidar technology is considered particularly promising as it enables high levels of accuracy and detail when capturing three-dimensional information.
Wingcopter is once again proving that the drone industry is opening up new markets through innovative solutions. The market for lidar-based surveying is growing worldwide, and demand for such technologies is continuously increasing in many areas, especially in infrastructure monitoring.
