ZenaDrone, a subsidiary of AI and SaaS leader, has successfully completed the first phase of drone testing and 3D mapping for its IQ Nano solution.
According to certain reports, the stated drone testing was stretched across several months to ensure a smooth operation. As for the 3D mapping, its assessment recently took place at a multinational auto parts manufacturer’s site. The stated assessment included scanning and mapping the warehouse area to create a 3D map that automates the drone flight path and its operations while in production.
Talk about the given technology on a slightly deeper level, the ZenaDrone IQ Nano happens to be a 10×10-inch drone capable of performing frequent inspections such as security monitoring, 3D indoor mapping, even bar code or RFID scanning, facility maintenance inspections, and beyond.
More on the same would reveal how the new system is specifically designed for autonomous use. It should reveal the presence of integrated sensors, high-quality cameras, as well as a dedicated capacity for data collection and analysis. Another detail worth a mention here is rooted in the fact that IQ Nano weighs just around 1.5 kg, all while boasting a flight time of up to 20 minutes before having to rely upon the automatic battery charging station,
All in all, the technology comes bearing the means to generate hovering stability and safety, a feature which is only complemented by an intelligible obstacle avoidance facility.
A specific lowdown on the technology would reveal how it is decked up with a convenient charging solution, meaning it can be used without any cords or cables. This, like you can guess, makes it easier to maintain multiple drones at any given time.
Now, while the technology opts for a wireless take when it comes to charging, it does boast a tethered cable to offer stable power and data connection for longer flight times, hovering in one place for longer periods, as well as for real-time data transmission during indoor inspections. Moving on, we referred to the drone’s obstacle avoidance capabilities, but what we haven’t mentioned yet is that it is also suitable for confined spaces where traditional drones may pose a risk.
The IQ Nano technology further hands you the access to a reliable brand of footage, as its enhanced video transmission and sensing systems are able to achieve high reliability when gathering visual data in the air. Joining that would be the solution’s retractable landing gear. The purpose of this landing gear is to deliver at your disposal a compact and streamlined design, a design which can improve rather substantially upon the drone’s maneuverability in limited space areas.
“We look forward to the production phase and concluding a successful trial, proving the viability of the IQ Nano and enabling us to deliver our product to our customer. A successful trial also opens the potential to win additional business with this customer and to verifiably demonstrate IQ Nano’s utility for the benefit of attracting additional market interest. The revolutionary use of an indoor drone for productivity and cost savings value can be implemented across hundreds of facilities,” said Shaun Passley, CEO of ZenaDrone.
Hold on, we are still not done here. You see, we still haven’t touched on drone’s durability, something that comes to the fore once you acknowledge its carbon-fiber shell. In case you weren’t aware, the carbon-fiber shell in question was chosen because of its ability to withstand impact without severe damage. Complimenting this would be an assortment of propeller guards that basically protect the drone’s rotors to ensure uninterrupted flight.
We also haven’t covered the technology portability prospects. To expand upon the same, it must be mentioned that IQ Nano is designed to fit in a case for quick deployment from site to site, providing a sheer ease of carrying, and unobtrusive and stackable storage.
Rounding up highlights would be the drone’s user-friendly controls that can work alongside a specialized onboard sensing system and video transmission technology to provide smooth and intuitive operability even for new pilots.
