Gremsy has partnered with HHLA Sky to revolutionize industrial inspections launching Gremsy’s Pixy LR S-Port gimbals with HHLA Sky’s Integrated Control Center (ICC) and Sony’s digital imaging solutions.

HHLA Sky, a subsidiary of Hamburger Hafen und Logistik (HHLA), has been at the forefront of automating drone inspections. 

“We are excited to drive innovation in industrial inspections with HHLA Sky and Sony.  By integrating our Pixy LR-SPort gimbals with Sony’s exceptional imaging capabilities and HHLA Sky’s advanced Mobile Robot Management solution, we are enabling a new era of efficiency and accuracy in the inspection industry,” said Vinh Tran, CEO, Gremsy. 

With the incorporation of Gremsy’s Pixy LR S-Port gimbals equipped with Sony’s ILX-LR1 cameras, HHLA Sky takes drone inspections to new heights, capturing high-precision image quality from a long distance.

For example, the container gantry crane inspection at the Port of Hamburg was conducted without needing to fly up close.

The ICC enables the remote (BVLOS) control of more than 100 drone operations simultaneously from a centralized control station, eliminating bottlenecks associated with traditional manual inspections. 

One of the key advantages of this partnership is the utilization of HHLA Sky’s AI-based data pre-processing unit. Relevant inspection data can be provided to experts for evaluation much more quickly.

Sony, renowned for its technology in digital imaging, brings its expertise in delivering superb image quality and capturing ultra-fine details. 

The high-resolution 61 MP full-frame Sony sensor now also found in the brand-new, industrialized, ultra-small and lightweight ILX-LR1 camera enables the capture of stunning images at three frames per second and eight frames per second in burst for dedicated inspection missions. 

“We are proud to partner with Gremsy and Sony to deliver cutting-edge solutions for industrial inspections with drones,” added Matthias Gronstedt, CEO, HHLA Sky. 

“Our integrated approach, incorporating Gremsy’s gimbals and Sony’s ILX-LR1 cameras, combined with our ICC, empowers organizations to optimize their inspection processes and achieve exceptional results.”
