Applications
At LumiDrones, every application we support is based on practical experience gained in the field through LumiFly.
At LumiDrones, every application we support is based on practical experience gained in the field through LumiFly — inspecting assets, mapping terrain, and operating drones in demanding environments.
We work with drones as tools, not gadgets. From energy infrastructure and construction sites to public safety and environmental monitoring, we understand what different industries need from aerial data — and how to capture it reliably, safely, and efficiently.
This page highlights the most common applications we support, along with the DJI platforms best suited for each task. If your use case falls outside the standard categories, we’re always happy to discuss it — because real-world operations rarely fit neatly into boxes.
Energy & Utilities
