HyLight
France · Industrial tech · Robotics
HyLight operates autonomous airships and inspection software that help energy and transport operators locate defects across their infrastructure.
Inspecting long networks from the air
HyLight helps infrastructure operators find damaged equipment, vegetation risks and gas leaks along power lines, pipelines and railways. It designs, builds and operates its HyLighter aircraft and develops the software used to interpret their observations.
The hydrogen-powered airships carry cameras, LiDAR and gas-detection sensors over long distances. Their observations feed a dashboard with anomaly detection and 3D reconstruction, allowing maintenance teams to locate an issue and review the underlying inspection data. The company’s website features work with operators including Enedis, NaTran and SNCF.
