Build an automation foundation for proactive vegetation inspection

 

Utility companies are under pressure to improve safety across the board. Vegetation management teams are being called upon to provide a higher level of service. Trees, powerlines, and other infrastructure need a deeper level of inspection and maintenance.

 

Cyclomedia's unique recording system is the solution that your team needs. You can book one of our vehicles, equipped with our patented street-level imaging camera and LiDAR sensor, to capture full 360° spherical high-resolution and geometrically accurate panoramic images.

 

Capture rich data that you can easily visualize from your desktop and integrate into your technology stack. Improve efficiencies across your organization.
