We help energy and engineering companies find the best route for powerlines and other linear infrastructure in seconds instead of months, saving time and money with better data, visuals and communication. Our vision is to become the worldwide standard for the planning of linear infrastructure expanding to asset management. Our mission is to help to accelerate the energy transition through our solution which has the potential to cut planning by 50% while reducing costs and environmental impact making our customers more competitive. For planners digitizing processes to manage the increased complexity of the grid and demand for clean energy, Gilytics delivers a GIS SAAS solution that provides instant access to routes for powerlines, pipelines, roads or railways saving time and money. As solar and wind along with electric vehicles expand, demand for new grid and transportation infrastructure is growing along with public resistance globally. The solution helps to solve this problem by speeding up the routing of overhead or underground powerlines and underground cables, making siting, environmental impact studies, stakeholder consultation, reporting and permitting processes easier. The software shortens planning, lowers costs, improving data collection and data analysis, while reducing environmental impact and project delays. GIS, Satellite and spatial data in most formats can be easily uploaded into the tool and the algorithm generates different pathways and analytics to measure costs and environmental or other parameters set by the customer that can be exported into different formats for more accurate reporting. Gilytics is an ETH spin-off founded in April 2017 and our solution is based on university research. We provide 2D, 3D, AR and VR visualisation.
