Color LiDAR moves onto Flyability's Elios 3 inspection stack
Ouster and Flyability showcased Ouster's Rev8 color digital LiDAR integrated with the collision-tolerant Elios 3 at INTERGEO 2026. The combination is aimed at confined and hazardous industrial spaces where GNSS is unavailable and direct human access is undesirable.

Colorized geometry can reduce the mental jump between a point cloud and the physical asset, especially when defects are easier to recognize visually than geometrically.
Inspection teams should evaluate SLAM drift, point density, color registration and post-processing time together. A better sensor does not remove the need for disciplined capture geometry.
