Innovation with impact: presenting DALIA at FES Iberia 2025
Today, Tuesday, June 24, we had the pleasure of participating in #FESIberia2025, a key meeting that brought together energy sector leaders from Europe and Latin America to share ideas, solutions and strategies aimed at a sustainable and efficient energy transition. During the event, we presented our DALIA solution, designed for the smart inspection of electrical infrastructures, combining advanced sensor technology, geospatial technology and data analysis. A tool that demonstrates how innovation can actively contribute to a safer, more resilient energy system aligned with today’s challenges. We also had the opportunity to hold enriching conversations with different agents in the sector, especially with representatives of Latin American countries that are investing in the digitalization and modernization of their electricity grids. These interactions open up new avenues of collaboration that we trust will translate into joint projects in the short and medium term. We would like to thank the organization of the Future Energy Summit Europe for the excellent development of the event, and all the professionals who came to learn about our work and share ideas.

Aerolaser, one of the companies that will participate in the ‘E-Hydro’ Project
The amount, which exceeds 3.8 million euros, will be used to invest in the development and implementation of innovations that promote the sustainable management of water resources. This award marks the beginning of a pioneering collaboration in the development of digital twins applied to watersheds. Aerolaser will participate together with other companies and institutions – Cemosa, Adasa, Insitu, Institute of Environmental Diagnosis and Water Studies (IDAEA-CSIC) and the Universities of Vigo and Salamanca – in a European initiative that seeks to simulate and predict potential scenarios in water infrastructures through the generation of digital twins. This project is part of the TransMisiones call for R+D+i in Strategic Lines 2023, managed by the State Research Agency of the Ministry of Science and Innovation. This achievement marks the beginning of a pioneering collaboration in the generation of digital twins applied to watersheds, where Aerolaser will play a key role in adding value in the work module related to the use of an innovative dynamic data acquisition system, our valuable AeSystem. This module, fundamental to the generation of accurate data, will be essential to the success of the E-Hydro project. In the case of Aerolaser, the company will design and develop a combined infrared and green laser LiDAR system, to generate the digitalisation of the watershed by generating a digital twin of the banks, the environment and the basin of the waterways. In the words of Tomás Herrera Azorín, CTO of Aerolaser System, “E-HYDRO gives us the opportunity to take our R+D capabilities around LIDAR airborne systems towards the analysis of hydrological channels, making more sense than ever to do so since water is a precious and scarce resource and we have to look after it”. With this award, Aerolaser consolidates itself as an innovative leader in the geospatial sector and the sustainable management of water resources. Active participation in “E-Hydro” not only reinforces its position as a benchmark in advanced technology, but will also contribute significantly to the development of smart solutions for water management at the national level. The TransMisiones R+D+i call has recognised the strategic importance of this project, aligning itself with the thematic priority of “advanced management of water resources”. Aerolaser, together with the rest of the partners, is ready to lead innovation in this challenging and vital field, offering analytical and predictive solutions for sustainable water management in watersheds.
